The U-S Track and Field Olympic Trials continue in Eugene, Oregon, through next weekend as competitors bid for a spot on the U-S squad that will compete in Paris. Drake Relays director Blake Bolden says the U-S team is the most difficult track and field team in the world to make.

Former Indian Hills standout Kenny Bednarek is headed back to the Olympics after finishing second in the 100 over the weekend. He won silver in the 200 at the Tokyo Olympics.

Bednarek will compete in the 200 later this week.

Tonight, Urbandale native and former Dowling Catholic star Karissa Schweizer will bid for a spot on the U-S team in the 5,000 meter run. She competed in the Tokyo Olympics in both the 5,000 and the 10,000 and will need a top three finish tonight.
