– Trayvon Bromell talking about what he misses about being a college athlete since he made the decision to go pro. His first US championship as a pro will start today in Portland; watch starting at 2:30PM ET. *All USAs Coverage
For some unexplained reason, the 2016 USA Indoors will be going on during the day in Portland today – not at night like every other sporting event that we know of – so USAs and NCAAs will be going on at exactly the same time.

LRC W 3,000: Shannon Rowbury Battles Emily Infeld, Shelby Houlihan, Marielle Hall & Abbey D’Agostino 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.
LRCM 3,000: Galen Rupp, Ryan Hill, Evan Jager, Hassan Mead, Eric Jenkins & More Square Off In A LOADED Field This is most definitely the race of the meet. Can Rupp accomplish the unthinkable and make the 3k team less than a month after winning the Olympic Marathon Trials? He’ll have to beat a tremendous field that also includes Garrett Heath and 41-year-old defending World Indoor silver medalist Bernard Lagat.
