Georgia’s Aaliyah Butler took second place with a personal best of 49.71. Alexis Holmes captured the final Olympic spot by winning the battle for third place with a personal best 49.78.

Wilson finished behind Bryce Dedmon (44.44) and Vernon Norwood (44.50), but his time was good enough to advance to the finals.
Wilson told NBC, “I came here today, gave everything I had. I knew the last 100 were going to be tough. I’m competing with them. I’m just trying to stay present in the moment.” Grateful for.”
Instead of swimming starting at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, track and field will be placed first and swimming last. This is the first time since the 1968 Mexico City Games that the schedule has changed.
The track will be at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, home of USC football.
“Athletics is our primetime event,” said Casey Wasserman, president of LA 2028. “We’re off to a bang.” ,lindsay schnell
