Men’s Steeple: Hillary Bor & Benard Keter Deliver ADP 1-2; Mason Ferlic Rounds Out Team USA
June 25, 2021
On a baking-hot 90-degree afternoon at Hayward Field on Friday (though not quite as hot as this weekend’s forecast), we saw training partners go 1-2 in a distance event for the third time at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. Unlike the men’s 10,000 or women’s 5,000 however, which both featured Bowerman Track Club sweeps, this time it was the men from
Scott Simmons’ American Distance Project who earned the honors as
Hillary Bor and
Benard Keter went 1-2 in the men’s steeplechase final, Bor edging Keter to repeat as US champion in 8:21.34 to Keter’s 8:21.81.
Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - Ketchikan High School graduate Isaac Updike, 29, just missed an Olympic berth at the U.S. Olympic Trials for track and field in Eugene, Oregon on Friday, placing fifth in the 3000 meter steeplechase.
