Todd to throw at Olympic Trials Friday

University of Montana javelin thrower Evan Todd, a Glacier High graduate, is heading back to Eugene, Oregon this week for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials at Hayward Field.

Todd is ranked 13th in a 24-man field that will compete on Friday beginning at 4:30 p.m. Mountain, with the action streamed live on Peacock. 

“It’s really exciting to have an athlete that’s going to be wearing a Montana uniform at the Olympic Trials,” UM coach Doug Fraley said. “That is the highest level of competition that you can get on domestic soil, and I’m just so proud and grateful that we have an athlete that’s going to be representing Griz track and field at Hayward Field this week.”
