Dutch runs fourth in 400 hurdle semifinals

Clayton's Johnny Dutch finished second in his heat and fourth overall in the 400-meter hurdle semifinals at the U.S. Oympics Trials this afternoon. The 19-year old's time was 48.71 seconds.

Dutch will run in the finals and for a spot in the 2008 Summer Games Sunday afternoon.

Benson's Anna Raynor finished 14th in the women's javelin first round and did not advance to the final round. Her best throw was 47.95 meters or 157 feet, four inches.

We'll update Dutch's status again tomorrow and have a full report on both potential Olympians' weekend in Eugene, Ore. in next week's print edition of The Herald.
