The 2008 USA Track and Field Trials in Eugene proved to be eight days filled with fast times and incredible performances. You can’t deny however, the main focus of the meet: securing a coveted spot on the Hardest Team to Make, the 2008 Games team. As the Trials progressed, I supplied results for many of the events, but me, myself and I could only cover so much. Below you’ll find a list of every Nike athlete that made the team.
