Hayward Field is again adding to its already outstanding resume.
For the fifth-consecutive Olympic season, Eugene, Oregon will host the Olympic Track and Field Trials. This upcoming summer, the roster for Team USA will be determined in TrackTown, USA.
Athletes and scouts from across the world will once again flock to Eugene, and Hayward Field will be at the center of track-related attention as Team USA builds its dream team.
“Track Town, U.S.A. is thrilled to once again host the U.S. Olympic Team Trials,” USA Track & Field CEO Michael Reilly said in the announcement. “Hayward Field at the University of Oregon is the perfect stage for selecting the No. 1 team in the world. As the local organizing committee, we are committed to providing a world-class experience for everyone who attends this magical event next year.”
The decision to hold the trials in Eugene was announced Thursday morning by the USA Track & Field and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee.
“Today’s announcement is a major milestone on our journey to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games,” U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee CEO Sarah Hirshland said in the same release. “These trials not only serve as a pathway to Team USA, but also as a platform for athletes to exhibit their exceptional skills and strive for the chance to represent our great nation in Paris. We are eagerly anticipating witnessing the display of true greatness next summer in Eugene.”
The event will span across 10 days in late June, with trials lasting from June 21-30.
The team built in Eugene will represent the United States in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
