Three tries and three wins, that’s the Diamond League results so far this year for Kendra Harrison and Christian Taylor as both kept up their winning ways without too much pressure from second place this weekend. Harrison led a 1-2-3 American top three in the 100m hurdles, the fourth straight time this year the US has swept the top three, as Nia Ali and Queen Harrison both had season best finishes. It’s starting to look like the three Olympic medalists might be decided in Eugene in the US Olympic trials. The US didn’t go 1-2-3 in the triple jump but Chris Carter and Chris Bernard did give the US three of the top four with their third and fourth place finishes.

Those were the only winners for the US but a few other athletes did have good finishes. Kerron Clement finished second in the 400m hurdles as Michael Tinsley pulled up before the final 100m and did not finish and Berhsawn Jackson was DQd. The US took second and third in the long jump as Brittney Reese and Tianna Bartoletta both had strong finishes. Dentarius Locke was the lone American in the 100m and finished fourth missing out on a top three spot on a photo finish. Other Americans finishes included: Charonda Williams (7th in the 200m) and Stephanie Garcia (10th in the 3000m steeplechase).

The next Diamond League event will be after the US Olympic Trials in Monaco on July 15th. The US Olympic Trials are July 1st-10th in Eugene, Oregon.
