This morning was the Sprint Qualification race, with fast and furious courses through the campuses of the University of Lausanne and the Swiss Institute of Technology. Only the top 15 in each heat qualify for the finals, and qualifying today was very tough. Not a lot of mistakes out there, so the runners who made it in were clean and very, very fast. Ali was the only American to make it through today, though Sam was a heartbreaking 5 seconds away from qualifying in 16th place.See all the results (PDF) or maps from the qual.
