Olympic Team Trials primer
65 KG
#9 Nashon Garrett vs. #8 Anthony Ashnault - winner will face Zain Retherford in the quarters
#4 James Green vs. #5 Joey McKenna - winner advances to the semifinals to face either Retherford or Nashon/Ashnault
97KG
#5 Ty Walz vs. #4 Kyven Gadson - winner will face the winner of Kollin Moore and Braxton Amos. Good news here is that Ty avoids J'Den Cox in the semis of the challenge tournament (the bracket before the best of 3 finals where Snyder awaits).
57KG women's
#1 Jenna Burkert - I haven't seen projected brackets like Flo did for the men. Helen Maroulis (Olympic gold 2016) looms in the finals.
Justin Basch put together a great graphic (attached) that contains start times and streaming options. Peacock (NBC's streaming service, download the app) and NBCSN are the places to be. I've attached the Flo article with the projected brackets for the men (you may need a subscription).
Action begins Friday! This is the first Olympic team trials with representation from the SERTC. BIG moment for this program/organization. Credit to Robie and Frayer for building this RTC up, educating the fanbase and giving athletes that train in Blacksburg the opportunity to make Olympic and World teams.
