2016 has been a great year for track and field with 10 different WRs falling. 2016 Zürich looks like a spectacular way to sign off the season for half of the events. Ryan Hill, Hassan Mead and Bernard Lagat are the other Americans in the 5,000, while Jenny Simpson and Shannon Rowbury will square off once again over 1500 meters. The sprints/field action is loaded as well. Highlights include a stacked women's 200 (Schippers, Felix, Thompson), Keni Harrison in the 100 hurdles and the men's shot put and pole vault. *MB: Official 2016 Zürich DL Live Discussion Thread
