EUGENE, Ore. -- The Latest on the run-up to the Summer Olympics (all times local to Rio de Janeiro):12 a.m.Its OK, Galen Rupp is still headed to Rio.The American distance star qualified for the Olympics earlier this year as marathoner. Then he won the 10,000 meters at the U.S. Track and Field Trials in Eugene last week.

Richardson was fifth.Merritt was vying to defend his title in London despite having a kidney transplant last September, and then follow-up surgery because of complications.Ive come to grips with it.
