Former Arkansas sprinter Tyson Gay, 33, still had enough fuel in the tank to make the final of the 200 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore., but he couldn't put together a strong finish.
Gay ran 20.38 Saturday night at Hayward Field to take sixth.
It was Gay's sixth race of the Trials after he was fifth in the 100 final last week and the workload appeared to take a toll considering he ran faster in his 200 semifinals (20.16) Friday night than in the final.
Gay still has made his third Olympic team as a member of the 400 relay pool on the strength of his performance in the 100.
Taylor Ellis-Watson, a senior at Arkansas this year, ran 23.25 in the 200 semifinals and didn't make the final. She already has made the Olympic team as a member of the 1,600 relay pool after taking fourth in the 400 last week.
Razorbacks sophomore Taliyah Brooks and Alex Gochenour, a senior at Arkansas this year, rank eighth and ninth through the first four events of the heptathlon.
Brooks has 3,589 points with marks of 13.39 in the 100 hurdles, 5-11 1/2 in the high jump, 37-10 3/4 in the shot-put and 24.85 in the 200. Gochenour has 3,543 points with marks of 13.43, 5-7 3/4, 41-5 3/4 and 24.79.
