Hot weather and hot 100 meter dash times continued on Day 3 of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track and Field.

In the 100 meter dash final, Tyson Gay ran the fastest 100 meter dash ever recorded. The mark will not count as a world record, because of a higher than allowable tailwind.

Former ASU Sun Devil Trevell Quinley won the long jump on his final attempt, to become the second Sun Devil of the meet to earn a trip to Beijing.

Day 2 of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track and Field was sultry, both on the track and off. The announced temperature in Eugene was above 90 degrees, which was perfect for fast times in the women’s and men’s 100 meter dashes.

Tyson Gay rebounded from a disappointing first round race to establish a new American Record for the 100 meter dash.

Former ASU Sun Devil Jacquelyn Johnson placed second in the heptathlon, to join Hyleas Fountain and Diana Pickler in Beijing.
