2021 Sound Running Day 2 Recap: Centro Sends a Message with 3:35 Victory; Bromell (9.92) Keeps Rolling
May 15, 2021
One of the biggest questions heading into day 2 of the Sound Running Track Meet in Irvine, Calif., is whether Olympic 1500-meter champion
Matthew Centrowitz would be able to show improvement after a rocky start to his 2021 campaign.
The answer was a resounding yes, as Centrowitz took a commanding victory in the men’s 1500 meters in 3:35.26 to send a message to the rest of the US 1500 corps. The other big result came in the men’s 100m, as
Trayvon Bromell made it a perfect three-for-three in 100m finals this year, blowing away the field with a time of 9.92 to win by .30. Bromell now owns two of the three fastest times in the world this year.

Which Americans Have the Olympic Standard Right Now? Who Would Get In On World Ranking? And How Do You Qualify For the Olympics, Again?
May 5, 2021

It’s a question worth revisiting, because the Olympic qualifying system has undergone some significant changes from previous years. And, unless you’re an agent or an athlete, it may have been a while since you’ve actually read through the specifics. Over two years have passed since the IAAF introduced these changes yes, it was so long ago that World Athletics was still known as the IAAF and I’m guessing you read something about “world rankings” and maybe forgot about it for a while once COVID hit last year.
