Mohr Qualifies for U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials

Hawai’i discus thrower Hallee Mohr will continue her incredible outdoor season after earning a spot in the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.

Mohr is the first Hawai’i athlete since Amber Kaufman in 2008 (high jump) to compete at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials.

The discus is scheduled for Monday, June 24, at 2 p.m. HT and will be broadcast live on NBC. Mohr is one of 24 athletes in the field. The top three finishers at the trials will qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics provided they meet the Olympic standard of 64.50m.

Mohr recently earned All-America honors with an 11th-place finish at the NCAA Championships, also held at Hayward Field on June 8. She posted a mark of 55.46m (181-11) to become just the fourth Rainbow Wahine discus thrower to earn All-America recognition.

The Raymond, Wash., native also set the school record in the discus at the Big West Championships with a toss of 58.25m (191-1) to go on to earn her second career conference title in the event. She then went on to become the first UH discus thrower since 2012 to qualify for the NCAA Championships and first thrower overall to reach the finals since 2015 with a fifth-place finish and toss of 58.02m at the NCAA West Regionals.

Starting at $4.62/week.
