US Olympic Trials 2016: Latest Track and Field Results and Updated Schedule

The finals of the men's and women's 800-meter run were held on Monday at the 2016 U.S. Olympic trials, as were the men's javelin and pole vault finals.

In the javelin, a throw surpassing 272 feet and four inches was needed for qualification, and just one athlete made the grade. However, in the other events, the top three finishers in each will head to Rio 2016 having met the required standard.

Women's 800

Place	Athlete	Time
1	Kate Grace	1:59.10
2	Ajee Wilson	1:59.51
3	Chrishuna Williams	1:59.59
4	Molly Ludlow	1:59.63
5	Raevyn Rogers	2:00.59
6	Phoebe Wright	2:02.55
7	Brenda Martinez	2:06.63
8	Alysia Montano	3:06.77

The most dramatic event of the day was undoubtedly the women's 800-meter final, which saw a collision on the final curve end the hopes of expected contenders Alysia Montano and Brenda Martinez.

Kate Grace took full advantage of the fall as she powered home to victory ahead of Ajee Wilson and Chrishuna Williams, both of whom have also qualified for Rio.

Per NBC Olympics, Montano was visibly distraught after the fall:

She spoke to Dan O'Brien of NBC Sports (via USA Today) after the race:

"

I started to go at 115. I had so much in me. We rehearsed it a thousand times ... and I was there. Brenda tripped, and she darted out and stopped ... I thought I was going to be able to dodge her, and I just didn't. ...

My heart hurts so bad. ... I struggled so much emotionally in this last year in the sport, and held onto every little last bit of hope ... hoping that the sport would be better, and that my voice would help the sport be better.

"

Montano also took to Twitter to thank her fans for the outpouring of support she'd received:

Though Grace's race was made much easier by the crash, she "had shown the ability to finish strong throughout the earlier rounds," which bodes well for her prospects at the Games.

Wilson is also a strong contender, but she could do with some better race management in order to ensure she has enough energy to power over the finish line.

Men's 800

Place	Athlete	Time
1	Clayton Murphy	1:44.76
2	Boris Berian	1:44.92
3	Charles Jock	1:45.48
4	Craig Engels	1:46.03
5	Erik Sowinski	1:46.44
6	Isaiah Harris	1:46.47
7	Harun Abda	1:47.05
8	Brandon Johnson	1:47.41
9	Casimir Loxsom	1:49.18

There were no heartbreaking collisions in the men's race, but there was still plenty of drama as a late twist saw Clayton Murphy take the top spot ahead of favorite Boris Berian.

The world indoor champion was showing his credentials as he led the race into the final 100 meters, but Murphy overhauled him to finish with a time of one minute, 44.76 seconds.

USATF captured his winning moment:

Per Andrew Greif of the Oregonian, Murphy said: "I wasn't sure if I was able to get him with 30 meters to go. I just wanted to keep pushing to the line, and I was able to get him in the last couple steps."

Berian also qualified for the Games, as did Charles Jock, who finished third in just over a half-second behind Berian.

Men's Pole Vault

Place	Athlete	Result (Meters)	Last Successful Vault: Attempts
1	Sam Kendricks	5.91	XXO
2	Cale Simmons	5.65	O

7	Jacob Blankenship	5.60	XXO
8	Jordan Scott	5.50	XXO
9	Michael Woepse	5.50	XXO (XO on 5.40)

Sam Kendricks topped the standings in the men's pole vault, clearing 5.91 meters—almost a foot higher than second-placed Cale Simmons' 5.65—and setting a new Olympic trials record in the process, per USATF.

Here is his successful attempt, per NBC Olympics:

The 23-year-old Army reservist qualified alongside Simmons and Logan Cunningham, per the U.S. Olympic Team's official Twitter feed:

Cunningham finished third after clearing 5.60 meters. Tray Oates cleared 5.60 at the second attempt, but he passed on 5.65 meters and went straight for 5.70. However, he was unable to clear in three tries and finished fourth.

Cyrus Hostetler was the only thrower to secure qualification for the Olympic team on Monday, though Sam Crouser and Sean Furey had already booked their places earlier in the year after meeting the required distance elsewhere.

Hostetler overtook Curtis Thompson with his fifth throw—his sixth and final throw being a foul—to make the cut, per TrackTown USA:

Per CSNPhilly.com's Reuben Frank, Thompson just missed out on a place despite his impressive efforts:

Qualifying for the women's javelin will begin on Thursday, with the final taking place on Saturday.
