Monson and Kurgat got the big wins at Cross Champs just like they did at the 2019 Nuttycombe Invitational.

Abdihamid Nur (13:24) won the men's title despite a late wrong turn. Weini Kelati (15:16) won the women's race as both athletes broke the course record.

What a race to kick off the 2022 Pre Classic as Alicia Monson and Karissa Schweizer put on a show with Natosha Rogers showing she is back.

Emily Sisson dominated and Nico Montanez kicked away from the pack including Galen Rupp who was 7th to get the title in Florida.

BTC went 1-3 with Marc Scott (7:46.11) and Evan Jager (7:46.24) behind Lomong. *MB: Shame on the Bowerman Track Club men and Jerry Schumacher- Skip USAs to run on illegal track in Washington

The Super Bowl may be on Sunday but we are calling Saturday "Super Saturday" - what an incredible day of action. If you are a distance fan, you might as well cancel your plans as there is going to be riveting action all day long.

Which 3 of the following 6 big talents goes home devastated in the first track final of USAs: Huddle, Infeld, Flanagan, Sisson, Rogers and Conley? Who wins the Huddle vs. Rowbury grudge match in the 5k? *MB: 2017 USA W5k and 10k: Who wins the 5k: Rowbury or Huddlle? Which star will go home devastated in the 10k?

The fields are strong once again for Sunday's late-night meet. Maggie Vessey (800), Cory McGee (1,500), Shelby Houlihan (1,500), Evan Jager (1,500) Henrik Ingebrigtsen (1,500), Sally Kipyego (5k), Nicole Tully (5k), Garrett Heath (5k), Chris Derrick (5k), Buze Diriba (10k), Molly Seidel (10k) and Sam Chelanga (10k) are among the entrants with the 10k track debut of Bernard Lagat.

Korir won a close race as he and fellow 10,000m Olympian Leonard Korir both clocked 43:23. Hasay got a 14-second victory over Emily Infeld in 49:42. *Discuss

The Olympics are the one opportunity track and field has every four years to expand its fan base. With that in mind, each day, we're going to present to you an "LRC Friends and Family Guide" to the action - a quick overview of what to expect that day in track and field. Hopefully, you can share the link or print it out and hand it to your friends and family that are either casual track and field fans or not track and field fans at all. If they know the storylines behind what they are watching, they will enjoy it a whole lot more and you won't have to drive yourself nuts by starting at square one with them.

The Olympic track and field action starts on Friday and the action will kick off in incredible fashion with a SPECTACULAR women's 10,000-meter final that will be run at 11:10 am ET. Can Tirunesh Dibaba become the 1st woman to win 3 individual golds in the same event? Or will Almaz Ayana mark herself as the new world #1? Can defending world champ Vivian Cheruiyot win her first Olympic gold? Can American Molly Infeld and or Molly Huddle medal? Will the American record go down?

Huddle was dominant as Houlihan and Conley took 2-3. Huddle and 4th placer Emily Infeld are only doing the 10K, so 5th placer D’Agostino gets a ticket to Rio.

Molly Huddle, Emily Infeld and Marielle Hall are all coming back from the 10k and all three have a good shot to finish top-3 in the 5k. Huddle has said she's leaning against doubling in Rio, but Infeld and Hall haven't committed, so Nicole Tully, Abbey D'Agostino, Shelby Houlihan et. al could finish fourth (or even fifth or sixth) and still go to the Olympics.

Molly Huddle, Emily Infeld, Marielle Hall, Jordan Hasay, Kellyn Taylor, Natosha Rogers, Laura Thweatt, and Emma Bates speak.

Huddle was a much-deserved winner as she led every step. Emily Infeld and Marielle Hall grabbed spots #2 and #3.

Molly Huddle will be your winner. After that, a bunch of women will be battling it out for a spot in Rio.

Infeld and Houlihan are among the favorites, but neither will be going to Worlds as they don't have the standard. You heard that right - somehow a 15:00 5k runner who has a World 10k medal doesn't have the 9:00 standard. Only Rowbury, Hall, D'Agostino and Lauren Paquette have the World Indoor standard of 9:00.
