EUGENE, Ore. -- Youngstown State alumnus Bobby Grace took 8th in the shot put at the United States Olympic Track and Field Team Trials from Hayward Field.

Grace, who now competes for the Shore Athletic Club in New Jersey, threw 20.06 meters (65-9 3/4") in the finals on his third throw.

The top three finishers qualified for the 2016 Olympic Team that will compete at the Rio Olympics in August.

Grace, the 2014 League Athlete of the Year and record holder in the shot put, qualified for the finals with a toss of 19.93 meters, good for 12th among 24 competitors.

Wow, excellent showing.  YSU should be very proud of its track and field program, its a consistently good program that is under the radar.
