U.S. Olympic Trials bring South Dakota connections to the test

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The US Olympic Trials are still in full swing, as hopeful athletes look to make their way to Paris. Some athletes with South Dakota connections are competing to make their path, some in Indianapolis and some out in Eugene, Oregon.

First up was Bryn Greenwaldt of Augustana women’s swim and dive team. She competed in the 50 Freestyle short course yards, finishing 5th in her heat with a time of 25 point 93 seconds. That placed her 56th overall out of 27 heats, and she will not move on in the trials.

He cleared through the first round, and the former South Dakota Coyote Chris Nilsen is getting ready to vault again in the finals tonight. Nilsen tied for the second best vault at 18 feet, eight and one-quarter inches, or five point seven meters. Those finals start Sunday night at 7:40 PM.

Finally, a former South Dakota State Jackrabbit is looking to secure his place in the 100 meter finals. Coby Hilton ran in the fourth heat out of five in the first round, running a 10.19. That’s five one-hundredths of a second slower than his personal best, but good enough to get him into the semifinals.

Those semifinals begin Sunday night at 7:48 PM.
