In the men's discus throw, Mason Finley, Tavis Bailey and Andrew Evans added their names to the United States Olympic team:

Bailey put on a huge display of power, launching his discus more than 208 feet. His throw was more than eight feet longer than second-place Bailey's best throw of the day. 

The men's 3,000-meter steeplechase saw a familiar face take home the title, as Evan Jager won his fifth consecutive title in the competition, via NBC Olympics:

Hillary Bor and Donn Cabral, who finished 1.62 and 3.89 seconds behind the winner, respectively, will join him in Rio.

The final event of the day was the loaded women's 100-meter hurdles, which featured competitors who combined for numerous collegiate national championships and American records. 

Brianna Rollins took the title, followed by Kristi Castlin and Nia Ali, who also qualified for Rio, via NBC Olympics:

Rollins' time of 12.33 seconds was the fourth-fastest in U.S. history, while Castlin and Ali finished less than 0.3 seconds behind her.

Saturday's busy schedule will have five final events: the women's javelin throw, men's triple jump, men's 5,000 meters, men's 200 meters and men's 110-meter hurdles.
