Alysha Newman booked a ticket to her first ever Olympic pole vault final Monday morning, hitting a best jump of 4.55 metres. They always say there's always an upset and there's a surprise, and I'm feeling like I could be the surprise,” Newman said. Teammate Anicka Newell achieved a best jump of 4.40 metres in her second attempt at that height, but did not advance to Wednesday’s final. Christopher Morales Williams is ready to take the men’s 400 metre semi-final by storm, while Savannah Sutherland is eyeing a spot in the women’s 400 metre hurdle final. Will these NCAA sensations book an Olympic final in their first Games?
