TRIALS AT A GLANCE

Members of the U.S. Olympic team in the women's 100 meters, the heptathlon and the men's shot put were decided Saturday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., as the Olympic track and field trials continued.

After a major mistake in the first round, Tyson Gay set a U.S. and Olympic trials record in the men's 100 meters, turning in a time of 9.77 seconds in the quarterfinals. Gay misjudged the finish line in his first race and ran a 10.14, the 13th-best time of the round and good for only fourth place in his heat. He roared back with the record effort.

"That would have been on ESPN as one of the most boneheaded plays [if he had not advanced]," said Gay, who broke Maurice Greene's record of 9.79 set in 1999. "I was scared. I almost started crying as soon as I crossed the line, because I thought I didn't make it."

Gay said that coach Jon Drummond told him "champions don't do that," and urged him to make up for the mistake in the quarterfinals. In the same heat, Jeff Demps ran a 10.01 to set a U.S. high school and junior record and tie the world junior record.

• Muna Lee pulled off an upset in an astonishingly close women's 100 meters. She won in 10.85 seconds, and Torri Edwards and Lauryn Williams tied with times of 10.90 to claim the other two Olympic berths. Marshevet Hooker and Allyson Felix were fourth and fifth, missing the Olympic team by 0.03 and 0.06 of a second.

• Reese Hoffa (72 feet, 6¼ inches), Christian Cantwell (71-2¾) and Adam Nelson (68-6 1/2) finished 1-2-3 in the men's shot put and made the Olympic team. Hyleas Fountain (6,667 points), Jacquelyn Johnson (6,347) and Diana Pickler (6,257) made the podium and the Olympic team in the heptathlon, with the Gophers' Liz Roehrig (5,819) in fifth place.

• The Gophers' Ruby Radocaj threw the javelin 175 feet, 9 inches to move into Monday's finals of the women's javelin. Lisa Brown of Lake Crystal and Gustavus Adolphus finished 13th, missing the finals. Laura Hermanson of Burnsville and North Dakota State made Monday's finals of the women's 800 meters with a time of 2 minutes, 5.78 seconds. The Gophers' Heather Dorniden ran a 2:05.76 in the second heat but did not make the finals; she finished in sixth place, and only the top four advanced.
