Drills to Determine If Foster Competes in Trials

Workouts this week will determine if Greg Foster, the world’s top-ranked high hurdler, can compete in the U.S. Olympic trials, Foster’s adviser, Bob Kersee, said Wednesday.

Foster, a two-time world champion and 1984 Olympic silver medalist in the 110-meter hurdles, suffered a broken left forearm July 4 during a routine warm-up drill at Cal Poly Pomona, near his home in Chino Hills.

His arm is now fitted in a light plastic brace.

“His chances are good if in his next three workouts he can get his timing down,” said Kersee, who also said there is about one week to declare whether or not Foster will compete in the trials, which begin Friday.
