ORLANDO, Fla. — Downtown Orlando hosted the U.S. Olympic Team Trials: Marathon Saturday and hundreds of Olympic hopefuls put on a show in their pursuit of a trip to Paris.
In the men’s trial, former BYU teammates Conner Mantz and Clayton Young finished first and second. Leonard Korir finished third. He’s not guaranteed a spot on the team because he hasn’t met the international time standard, but there’s still a strong chance he earns that trip.
From BYU to CHAMPS of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials: Marathon in downtown Orlando. So impressive. 🇺🇸
Mantz won the trial in 2:09:05 and Young finished one second back at 2:09:06. Korir posted a time of 2:09:57.
In the women’s trial, history was made. Fiona O’Keeffe raced in her first-ever marathon and she became the youngest American woman to win the Olympic team trials. She posted a remarkable time of 2:22:10.
The current American record holder in the marathon Emily Sisson finished in second. Dakotah Lindwurm finished third to clinch the final spot in Paris.
Your Team USA Women’s Marathon team heading to Paris 2024! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
