Daveon Collins qualified for the quarters in the 200 when he was clocked in 20.61, but missed advancing to Nationals in the 100 when he was 16th with his time of 10.64.  Jordin Andrade just missed as well, placing 14th in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 50.75.  Only the Top12 advance. Bret Scheve was 22nd overall in the 400 hurdles.  Justin Malnes placed 29th in the 110 hurdles with a time of 14.43.

Mackenzie Flannagan was 24th in the first round of the women's 200 (14.43) earning the final spot for tomorrow's quarterfinals.
