U.S. Olympic track and field trials: World records, future stars and Tokyo anticipation

Matthew Centrowitz still has it. Had the Olympics taken place in 2020 as scheduled, ­Centrowitz may not have been able to defend his 2016 gold medal. But he used the extra year to rediscover his health and best form, and in Eugene, he ran in total command, no matter that 20-year-old Cole Hocker out-kicked him for the title. He controlled every heat of the 1,500 meters, and he may again be a threat to medal. Centrowitz may not be the fastest man at 1,500, but drop him in a pack of runners and more often than not he’ll figure out a way to cross the line first.
