Some of Team USA's track and field stars gathered in New York for a media summit on Tuesday (April 16), with the countdown to the Paris Olympics in full swing.

Marathon runner Fiona O'Keeffe is one of the biggest names to watch after her astonishing win at the Olympic trials.

The 25-year-old was the youngest-ever competitor to win the U.S. trials as she broke the tape in an event record time of two hours 22 minutes and 10 seconds, stunning pundits and armchair experts alike in her first career marathon.

O'Keeffe, the first woman to win the U.S. trials in a marathon debut, said making an Olympic team went from a far-fetched dream to an outright goal only a couple of years ago.

Team USA will also be hoping for strong performances from long jumper and 2023 World Championships silver-medallist, Tara Davis-Woodhall, and 200m sprinter Kenny Bednarek, who finished second at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
