At the U S Olympic Track and Field Trials in Oregon, Renaldo Nehemiah and Craig Virgin set Trials records in the 110-meter hurdles and 10,000 meters, while judges in two Oregon courthouses ruled that pole vaulter Steve Smith and shot putter Brian Oldfield may compete. The seven ex-professionals had their amateur status reinstated for all events except the Olympics, allowing Smith and Oldfield to enter, though two others can’t compete due to completed events or unmet trials standards. Madeline Manning nearly matched her own American record in the women’s 800 meters with a Trials record time of 1 58.3, and Karin Smith edged Kale Schmidt with a 208 feet 5 inches javelin throw.
