2012 U.S. Olympic Track And Field Team Is Announced For London

The 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Track and Field reached their anti-climatic conclusion on Monday when Jeneba Tarmoh announced she had withdrawn from the women’s 100-meters runoff, ceding her spot in London to Allyson Felix. The decision not only brought an end to the dead-heat drama, but it also meant the end of the trials. After nine days of competition at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., Team USA’s track and field contingent for London is now set.

The track and field competition -- officially called Athletics at the Olympics -- begins Aug. 3, with men’s shot put and women’s 10,000 meters, and concludes Aug. 12, the final day of the Games, with the men’s marathon.
