On Saturday night, several runners achieved Olympic and Olympic Trials standards at the Sound Running Invite.
Emily Sisson and Grant Fisher won the women’s and men’s 5,000-meters, respectively, leading ten total runners under the Olympic standard for the event.
In the 1500 meters, Sinclaire Johnson won the women’s race, with a U.S. Olympic Trials standard, and Josh Kerr won the men’s race.
Nia Akins and Josh Hoey crossed first in the women’s and men’s 800 meters, respectively.
In the latest COVID-adjusted meet geared towards helping runners achieve qualifying standards, the Sound Running Invite featured several career bests and barrier-breaking performances.
Klosterhalfen followed Keira D’Amato for the first 13 minutes of the race, before making a move. The 5,000-meter bronze medalist came through the first half of the race in 15:42, and continued to run away from the field. Running an average of 4:59 per mile, Klosterhalfen lapped the entire field and ultimately achieved the
Olympic standard by running well under 31:25.00 on Saturday night.
“I feel a bit on a different planet,” Klosterhalfen told announcers on the broadcast, which was live streamed on the
Citius Mag YouTube channel. “I still cannot believe I’m here in Texas. I’m very happy and overwhelmed.”
