LA Marathon 2016 Recap: Olympic Trials

JLab Audio was honored to attend the 2016 LA Marathon - and had a front row seat to see the US Olympic Team Trials and some amazing runners! Elite runners competed to make Team USA and compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio later this year.

Some noteables:

Meb Keflezighi became the oldest American to qualify for the Olympics (He's 40 years, 284 days young). The top three American men and women qualify for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
