Makenna Myler, who competed for BYU from 2011-14, placed 14th in a field of 44 runners in the 10,000-meter run at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials Saturday in Eugene, Oregon.
Myler, who gave birth just seven months ago, finished with a time of 32:44.72.
The race was won by Emily Sisson in a meet-record time of 31:03.82. Karissa Schweizer and Alicia Monson completed the top three finishers. That trio will represent the U.S. in the Tokyo Summer Games next month.
