2014 adidas GP Preview: David Rudisha Round Two, Simpson VS. Aregawi Round Three, A Dream Boys HS Mile, And Mary Cain Dodges The Competition
Rudisha is back at it again, this time in a much toned down 800 field from Pre Classic, but still faces Duane Solomon and the two fast Poles. Jenny Simpson and Abeba Aregawi do battle again over 1500 along with a slew of top Americans and high schooler Alexa Efraimson. Mary Cain's 800 is basically a practice run and don't get your hopes up for a sub-4 in the high school Dream Mile. Also Mercy Cherono vs Sally Kipyego in the women's 3K and Sofia Assefa and Hiwot Ayalew in the steeple.
