Olympic qualifying mark evades Knott, Cray

The 2019 Southeast Asian Games double gold medalists Eric Cray and Kristina Knott failed to make the Olympic qualifying marks in their respective Olympic qualifying events this weekend.

Filipina-American trackster Kristina Knott registered 23.17 seconds in the 200-meter race of the LSU Alumni Gold Meet in Baton Rogue, Lousiana, a bit off from the 22.80 seconds Olympic qualifying time.

Meanwhile, at the Drake Relays in Iowa, USA, 2016 Rio De Janeiro Olympian Eric Cray listed 51.20 seconds, falling short of the 48.90 seconds Olympic qualifying time for the Men’s 400-meter hurdles. 

Still, the two athletes will attempt to beat the Olympic qualifying time this coming Friday. Report by PTV Sports/ JBB
