This past weekend the USATF Nationals were held at Drake and televised by various NBC stations. We don’t get the premium stuff, so from what we saw this was the US “sprint, throw and jump” championships. Occasionally there would be a result from a distance event posted. (I guess we’re being trained for the Tokyo Olympics next year.) There were some notable distance achievements: Molly Huddle won her fifth straight 10k championship, Emma Coburn her eighth steeple, Shelby Houlihan nipped Jenny Simpson in the 1500 and went on to win the 5000, Lopez Lomong won the men’s 10k for the second year in a row, and Craig Engels upset Matt Centrowitz in the 1500.
