COLUMBUS, Ohio Three former Ohio State track and field All-Americans competed Sunday at the 2007 Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Ore. Dan Taylor placed third in the shot put, while runners Rob Myers and Brian Olinger had seventh-place times in their respective distance events.

Taylor, a nine-time All-American thrower from 2000-04 at Ohio State, heaved the shot 68 feet, 9 inches for his third-place mark. Now a competitor for Nike, Taylor won a pair of national titles in the shot put and weight throw at the 2004 NCAA Indoor Championships.

Myers, also a Buckeye All-American from 2000-04, now runs for Reebok. He placed seventh Sunday in the Bowerman Mile in a time of 3:58.01. Myers narrowly missed a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 in the 1,500 meters after taking third at the 2004 U.S. Trials.

Olinger, who also runs for Reebok, completed his All-American career at Ohio State in 2006. Sunday, he clocked 8:29.05 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase to cross the finish line in seventh place.

All three athletes will compete at the 2007 U.S. Championships June 21-24 in Indianapolis. Complete results for the 2007 Prefontaine Classic are available at http://www.preclassic.com/.
