Williams, Manson, Jonas make Olympics in high jump
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Jesse Williams, Andra Manson and Dustin Jonas have made the U.S. Olympic team in the men's high jump.
Williams, ranked eighth in the world last year, jumped 7 feet, 6½ inches at Olympic track and field trials Saturday for the victory.
Manson tied for second with Jamie Nieto, but Nieto, along with the fourth- and fifth-place finishers, lacked the Olympic qualifying standard.
That left the last spot open for Jonas, who tied for sixth and won the spot in a jump-off against Scott Sellers.
