UPDATE (June 13, 1:45 p.m. MT): Batty's situation got a little more interesting as he recently announced via Twitter that he broke his wrist diving for the finish line at nationals. Don't worry, he convinced his doctor to not put him in a hard cast so he can run at the trials.

With a successful collegiate career in the rearview mirror that included two national championships and six all-America honors, Miles Batty is now focused on making the U.S. Olympic Team in the 1,500 meters.

To qualify for the team, Batty must accomplish two things: finish in the top three at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials and achieve the Olympic A Standard. Batty will attempt to check the latter off of his to do list this weekend in Indianapolis.

The Olympic A Standard for the 1,500 meters is 3:35.50. Batty’s career mark is 3:37.50, a time he clocked at the Occidental High Performance Meet earlier this season. By taking care of the Olympic A Standard this weekend, Batty will be able to focus on a top three finish at the Olympic Trials and not worry about his time.

The Olympic Trials will be held June 21 to July 1 at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon. The qualifying round for the 1,500 meters is on June 28 with the semifinals scheduled for the 29th. The finals will be held July 1.

While Batty is moving on to a bigger stage with brighter lights, let’s take a moment to reflect on his incredible BYU career that included the aforementioned All-America honors and national championships as well as numerous academic awards.
