HAZEL ONLY CLARK IN WOMEN’S 800 FINAL

Hazel Clark was the lone member of her family to advance to the women’s 800-meter final, running 1 minute 59.12 seconds. Sister-in-law Jearl Miles-Clark barely missed in 1:59.44. Older sister Joetta was well out of the running at 2:04.12.

“It’s my first Olympics and I really wanted to make the final, so I’m really happy in that regard,” Hazel Clark said. … We all wanted to make it to the final, but for some reason I’m the only one and now I have to represent our family.”
