Highlights

Dalilah Muhammad set a new U.S. meet record, winning the women's 400-meter hurdles by recording a time of 52.88 seconds. It was almost one second better than her former career best, per the U.S. Olympic team.

Third-place finisher Sydney McLaughlin may have been even more impressive. The 16-year-old set a new junior world record with a time of 54.15 seconds, per FloTrack

In the men's version of the race, Kerron Clement hit the afterburners when clearing the final hurdle, coming back from third place to finish first.

The leader heading into that final hurdle, Johnny Dutch, hit a wall in the final stretch, fading to fifth and missing out on a spot in Rio. 

There was plenty of drama in the women's 1,500-meter run, which Jenny Simpson and Shannon Rowbury dominated as they secured spots in Rio.

In the battle for third place, though, Brenda Martinez was attempting to hold off the charging Amanda Eccleston in the final strides for the last qualifying spot. After a pair of dives at the finish line, it was determined that Martinez just held Eccleston off by 0.03 seconds. 

NBC Olympics showed the moments after the dive:

In the women's 200 meters, there was an equally dramatic finish for third, but it concerned a recognizable name.

Allyson Felix, who is a four-time Olympic gold medalist, finished just 0.01 seconds behind third-place Jenna Prandini to miss out on a chance for her second spot on the United States roster in Rio.

NBC Olympics showed the finish:

With the team set, the newest track and field stars representing the Red, White and Blue can set their sights solely on adding their names to the list of the hundreds of men and women who have taken home medals from past Olympic Games.
