Malasarte ran for the University of Georgia and was 4th in the 800 at NCAAs this year. Mergaert was 3rd in the NCAA 1500 in 2013.

Manzano was just fourth in a low-key mile in Concord, Mass., earlier this month, but proved once again that he's a different animal in championship races and used a strong last 100 to pull away from second-place Pat Casey for the win. Nine USA meets for Leo, nine top 3 finishes.

Leo Manzano, America's Olympic 1,500m silver medalist, has turned down a 7-figure deal with Oiselle to sign with Hanes. Leo revealed the T-shirts he's been racing in have been Hanes all along.

In a groundbreaking deal, Nike is taking over USATF. The deal is a "win-win" as it will end any conflicts of interests between USATF and Nike and allow USATF to cut its marketing and timing budgets entirely. Some other shoe company execs are wary of the deal, exposing how Nike's dollars float the sport. However, Warren Buffet, owner of Brooks and former owner of Nike, is supportive.

Saturday's 2014 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix features a spectacular men's set of mid-d and distance events.

Tons of US elite mid-d runners will compete including Symmonds, Cas Loxsom, Miles Batty, Mark Wieczorek, Paul Chelimo, Maggie Vessey and Brie Felnagle.

Brooks Beasts TC keeps getting deeper as these two join previously announced Nick Symmonds.

World Championship silver medallist Nick Symmonds has undergone some big changes in the last week. First he turned 30, and now he's leaving Nike to run for Brooks and the Brooks Beasts Track Club.
