Have a day, Jessica Cosby. Enjoy Beijing, Loree Smith.

Along with those two, it will be Amber Campbell representing America at the Olympic Games after they went 1-2-4 on Saturday in the women’s hammer throw at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials.

Fourth? Yes, in this case, as Smith finished in that position, but had the “A” standard with a throw of 229 feet, 8 inches earlier this season while third-place finisher Sarah Veress had a personal best of 225-1 on Saturday but was still 35 inches short of the needed distance to supplant Smith.
