These are going to be two must-watch finals. Will Ben Blankenship's amazing 2015 continue or will he go home devasted thanks to Robby Andrews or Kyle Merber? The battle for women's spots #3 and #4 (thank you Ms. Simpson) will be incredibly intense on the women's side.

Shalane Flanagan showed she's ready for Boston, Gabriele Grunewald got a nice pr and win in the 5000m, Sam Stabler of Lamar had the breakthrough of the meet in the 5000m, Oliver Aitchison showed he's becoming a force at 1500m,  German Fernandez got a much needed win and Erin Teschuk got some attention.

Genzebe Dibaba and Molly Huddle take the #1 World and US spots.

McNamara runs 4:03 to beat Leo Manzano by less than a second with Trevor Dunbar 3rd. Gabriele Grunewald wins the women's race in 4:32 over Heather Kampf and Sarah Brown (both 4:33).

We wonder if it's normal for an official to tell a coach about a foul he admits he didn't see. Then we start to go off into la-la conspiracy land as we notice a key part of the report regarding Salazar shows up in a different font. To us, the whole report reads like a 5th grader's book report, not a report worthy analysis of a decision that (illegally) fixed the outcome of a national championship race.

The attention was on the teens but the accomplished veterans Morgan Uceny and Jenny Simpson got the heat wins. MB: Yes, that's right, Cain just cruised to beat Efraimson

Women's race has Heather Kampf, Nicole Sifuentes, Gabriele Grunewald and Sara Hall.

Gebremeskel turned the tables on Lagat from World Indoors but Lagat left with a nice consolation prize. In the women's race, no one came close to Brenda Martinez as the top American - not Jordan Hasay or Gabriele Grunewald.

Genzebe Dibaba dominated to remain undefeated in 2014 (like Mary Cain), defending champ Hellen Obiri got silver, and the Americans weren't factor.

The women's 3,000m heats were a waste of time as only 3 runners were eliminated, but Gabriele Grunewald and Shannon Rowbury made the final and we talked to them and got some insights for the final.
