Tollefson to Race at Hamline Today:
Will Chase Trials Qualifier in 1500m

Team USA Minnesota's Carrie Tollefson will race the 1500 meters today at the USA Track and Field - Minnesota Open and Master's Track and Field Championships at Hamline University.

Tollefson, an Olympian at the distance in 2004, still needs to notch an Olympic Trails qualifying mark in the event -- or the 5000m -- in order to compete at the Eugene, Oregon meet which begins on June 27.

Update: Tollefson ran 4:20.14 this morning; the Olympic Trials "B" Standard is 4:19.50.
