00:00 - Trinidad and Tobago 400m sprinter Deon Lendore killed in a car crash in Texas. 2012 Olympic bronze medalist (4x400m) and 2015 World championship silver medalist (4x400m)
- google “Allyson Felix” and see what they’ve done to honor her for her last world championship race here tonight in Eugene. Really special!
- Legendary UCLA Bruin 110m hurdler Greg Foster passed away tonight. He was world champion in 1983, 1987 and 1991, and Olympic silver medalist in 1984, in Los Angeles. Deepest condolences to his family and friends. The track and field world mourns this hurdling legend.

- For the second consecutive USA Olympic track and field trials, the best interview of the Trials goes to… @AnnaCockrell48 With @LewisJohnsonMG If you disagree, share your favorite, please.Bravo!
