"She could have run today," Sandoval said by phone from Des Moines. . . . "I just didn't want to take that chance. It's not worth risking the Olympic trials and the Olympics to win another NCAA title. There's too much at stake."

Good for Tony Sandoval! How many college coaches would sacrifice a likely NCAA win just because the athlete's Olympics prospects might have been diminished by competing? Some, I'm sure, but I suspect not all.
