Butler's William Cuthbertson has earned a coveted spot in the field at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track & Field.

Cuthbertson will be one of 36 entries in the 800 meters. Entries were finalized Thursday night.  

His personal-best time of 1:46.51 came just a few weeks ago at the NCAA East First Round meet in Lexington, Ky.

The 2024 Trials run June 21-30 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
 
Among the runners familiar to Cuthbertson joining him in Eugene will be recent Butler graduate Angelina Ellis, who exhausted her collegiate eligibility just 12 months ago. Ellis has the 10^th-fastest time among the field in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:25.25).
 
The first round of the men's 800 meters is scheduled for Thursday, June 27. The semifinals will be the following day (June 28) with the finals set for the last day of the Trials in Eugene, June 30.
 
Hayward Field was also the site of Cuthbertson's most recent competition as he was part of the field at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships earlier this month.
 
The top qualifying time in the 800-meter field belongs to Bryce Hoppel (1:43.68). Cuthbertson's time ranks him 27^th of the 36 athletes entering the Trials.
 
NBC, including USA and the Peacock app, will air a majority of the 2024 Trials.
