Team Battle Breakdown at U.S. Olympic Trials


With the start of the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials approaching this weekend, we decided to take a look at the unofficial team battle going down between training groups.

There are 29 coaches with three or more entries in the distance events at this year’s Trials. Frank Gagliano’s New Jersey-New York Track Club leads the nation with 17 athletes entered.

Although entries do not become official until two days before each event, we conducted a virtual meet between the 29 training groups based on seed times.

Below are are the top 10 training groups heading into the Trials.

01) 62 pts Bowerman Track Club (Jerry Schumacher)
02) 47 pts Nike Oregon Project (Alberto Salazar)
03) 44 pts Brooks Beasts Track Club (Danny Mackey)
