Providence Resident Molly Huddle Qualifies For Rio, Wins 10K At U.S. Olympic Trials

        EUGENE, OR – Molly Huddle led pretty much the entire way as she breezed to a win in the 10,000 meters Saturday at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.

        Huddle didn’t raise her hands as she crossed the line, a lesson she learned the hard way at world championships last August in Beijing. She was headed for the bronze when she slowed down and raised her arms at the finish, only to be edged out by American teammate Emily Infeld.

        The 31-year-old Huddle used a powerful final lap to hold off Infeld on Saturday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. She finished in a time of 31 minutes, 41.62 seconds.

        Marielle Hall was third.
