Recapping Saturday's events and previewing Sunday.

Quote of the Day |"After the first round, I was scared. I almost started crying as soon as I crossed the line because I thought I didn't make it. I was pretty nervous, but this round I ran through the line. I eased up a little bit. I had my arms in here so I wasn't trying to exert too much energy."

Lone Texan | Hernandez' great run to reach make the Olympic team ended on Saturday with the Texas 800m runner failing to make Monday's finals. Hernandez was coming off a NCAA Title win two weeks ago.

Pickler Sneaks In | Diana Pickler needed to stay within 1.5 seconds of 2nd sections winner Jacqueline Johnson to make it to Beijing. Pickler and Johnson will join Hyleas Fountain in China.

Quack | Oregon looks to introduce an additional competitor to Wednesday's action. Emerging Oregon sophomore Ashton Eaton begins his quest to China in the Decathlon.

Gaffe to Glory | Tyson Gay collectively had 20,000 fans in shock after barely making the 1st cut in Heat 4 of the Mens 100m. Two and a half hours later he set the new American Record at 9.77.

Cantwell & Co. Find Right Step | Christian Cantwell makes all the right moves along with Hoffa and Nelson. The triple-threat could finish 1,2,3 in Beijing.

Demps | Sets the National Prep Record in a loaded semifinal of Gay, Dix and Spearmon.

Crowd-Lifted | Andrew Wheating opened up to another stellar reception in semifinals of the Mens 800. Sitting and kicking, Wheating finished second in his heat with a 1:46.23 placing him 4th of seed times.

Pre-Viewed | Nick Symmonds recaptured a little Pre magic with a dazzling performance in Heat 2 of the Mens 800m semi-finals. Running a 1:45.61, Symmonds kept lead steady kick in lane 1 to take home the top qualifying time. Instead of whipping by runners in the final 50m, Symmonds held on strong in lane one, coasting to victory.

Hardest Yet | The Mens 800m Finals are set with only 3 bodies able to make it on the Olympic Team. At this point, it's too-close-to-call with Symmonds, KD, Solomon, Wheating, Smith, Lomong, Johnson, and Jabreh Harris.

Weather | Eugene was HOT and HUMID. Clouds arrived towards the end of the meet and the winds of change finally arrived. The evening was capped off, weather wise, with a wild but distant lightning storm that closed the Eugene08 festival down early. Forecasts for tomorrow expect to be the same.
