June 21, 2024 | Track and Field
Nichols and Hurta-Klecker advances to next round
EUGENE, Ore. – Colorado's Bailey Hertenstein saw her season come to a close after finishing 13th at the 2024 U.S. Track and Field Olympic Team Trials at Hayward Field on Friday evening.
Hertenstein ran in Heat 1, the fastest heat of the two. She stayed with the front pack until the 3,600-meter mark when the pack started to separate. Hertenstein could not recover and had to depend on her time, which fell ten seconds short. The top six finishers and the next four fastest advanced, all of whom came from Heat 1.
Former Buffalo Sage Hurta-Klecker started the day with the sixth-best time, finishing second in her heat for the automatic qualifying spot and moving on to the semifinals with a time of 2:01.30. The semifinals will take place on Sunday, June 23, at 7:11 p.m. MT. Abby Nichols advanced to the finals after posting the sixth-best time, 15:27.55, in the 5,000-meter run. The finals will take place on Monday, June 24, at 8:09 p.m. MT.
Avery McMullen will be the next Buff to see action, participating in the heptathlon on Sunday, June 23, starting with the 100-meter hurdles at noon.
