EUGENE, Ore. — When the track announcer asked Grant Holloway what he thought of his latest win at U.S. track trials, America’s best hurdler made it clear there are bigger things to come.

Others with unfinished business looming at the Olympics include Sha’Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles, each of whom blazed through their 200-meter semifinals to set up races Saturday to qualify for their second event. Friday’s race marked Holloway’s third sub-13 run of the season — the second-fastest of his career. Freddie Crittenden was .07 seconds behind and Daniel Roberts finished third in 12.96, making this the first race in history with three sub-13 times.

“I absolutely would,” she said. “If I make the team, I want to come out with another world lead, another ‘pb’ and just show everyone I’m ready to compete.”Lyles ran a wind-aided 19.60 to win his semifinal, and was thinking about more than the Olympic spot he’ll be racing for Saturday.
