We give you the distance scoop from Boston ahead of Saturday's New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. Plus the pros' advice to high schoolers and why Katerina Stefanidi knew she would win the Olympic pole vault final before she even cleared the final bar.
The men's 3k (Paul Chelimo, Clayton Murphy, Eric Jenkins, Dejen Gebremeskel) and women's 3k (Shannon Rowbury, Hellen Obiri, Sifan Hassan) are the most compelling races, but there's also Duane Solomon vs. Donavan Brazier in the 600, a battle between the last two Olympic champs in the women's PV and Emma Coburn, Sydney McLaughlin, Brenda Martinez and Jenny Simpson teaming up to attack the DMR WR.

The meet will also feature a DMR with Jenny Simpson, Emma Coburn, Brenda Martinez and phenom hurdler Sydney McLaughlin. *Meet Home
