WACO, Texas – Baylor track & field legend Trayvon Bromell won the men's 100 meters Sunday night at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials at Hayward Field to advance to his second Olympic Games.

Bromell clocked in at 9.80 in the final to complete the sweep of the first round (9.84), semifinals (9.90) and final and earn a spot on the United States Olympic Team for the second time.
