Just when you thought it couldn’t get more exciting, day 2 of the US Olympic Trials saw many people qualify for their first Olympic team, as well as veterans to Team USA. Grateful to be on deck, I had a lot of fun capturing the intense action this evening as the athletes battled for spots on the Olympic team.
