The US Olympic track and field trials are set to be held from June 21-30. The trials will be held at Hayward Field in Oregon and will consist of 44 events (22 each for men and women).
It will be a major window for eligible athletes to book their place in the US track and field team for the upcoming Paris Olympics 2024. The entry declaration for the events opens on June 12 and will continue till June 13.
The trials consist of two qualification standards namely automatic qualification and minimum qualification. Any athlete who meets automatic qualification will directly qualify for the Paris Olympics 2024.
However, in case all the berths are not filled up through automatic qualification, the organizing committee will look to fill it through the minimum qualification standards of the respective disciplines except for some of the events. Now let's look at the qualification standards for men and women for the upcoming US Olympic Trials 2024.
