Plus do Americans Ajee Wilson, Heather MacLean, Josette Norris and Elle Purrier St. Pierre have legitimate medal hopes?

Two of the biggest young stars in men's track - Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Selemon Barega - are competing at World Indoors this year. We can't wait.  Plus is American Bryce Hoppel the gold medal favorite in the 800?

World Indoors has plenty of star power (Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Grant Holloway, Mondo Duplantis, Keely Hodgkinson) and a number of big-time showdowns. We break it all down for you.

For the first time ever, the reigning Olympic 100m champ will run World Indoors. And he'll do it against the reigning World Outdoor champ in the marquee event of the meet.

What a weekend. The richest prize in the sport was given out $250,000, three different HS nationals were held in the US and the NCAA meet as well.

"Breaking 2:18, that might be possible at some point...And I think if I can do that, definitely some of these other [Americans] – Keira [D'Amato], the people that are running well – can do that too," said Hall who thinks she has some "secret weapons" in training that help her excel at age 38. *MB: Sara Hall thinks running 2:17 in the marathon might possible, and says she has a some "secret weapons" in training    There’s some outside-the-box-stuff I do that I don’t really talk about because they’re my secret weapons. But I feel like those things are really what has allowed me to have the realistic jump I had in Berlin (in 2019 when Hall lowered her pb from 2:26 to 2:22) and I’ve really continued to do more and more of that type of training. They’re kind of secret, but I think what’s helped me is getting outside the groupthink of marathon training in the US. And that goes back to running Boston and Worlds and all these races. There’s a culture of we do things a certain way, but for me, I’ve been able to train in Kenya and Ethiopia and I’m just a curious person. I like to come up with outside-the-box stuff and Ryan’s similar. So I think some of that has really benefited me, having different perspectives and trying different things. 

Emmanuel Bor has been pulled from Team USA. “We greatly respect the talent and dedication of all our Soldier athletes. Sgt. Bor’s safety is our number one priority," said the WCAP.

Butler, DeGenero, and Roe all won their first NCAA titles as Florida won its first team title since 1992.  

It was a good day for front-runners and favorites in the mid-d and distance events as Mario Garcia Romo of Ole Miss, Brandon Miller of Texas A&M, and Abdihamid Nur won NCAA titles by controlling things from the front.

Yaseen Abdalla anchored the Longhorns to the win; Notre Dame was 2nd as Yared Nuguse proved mortal.

Grant Fisher joined us for a special LetsRun.com Track Tak podcast to talk his American record spree in 2022, wanting to be a miler, Galen Rupp, Jerry Schumacher and a lot more.

BYU's Wayment won the DMR/3k double in '21 and is entered in the 5k & 3k this weekend. 2020 NCAA XC champ Mercy Chelangat could threaten her but there will be new champs in the 800 and mile. *MB: Official 2022 NCAA Indoors Discussion Thread

The fields are SUPER deep - so much so that four 3:56 milers aren't in the mile and four sub-13:30 guys aren't in the 5000. Unbelievable. Can one of the NAU duo of Abdihamid Nur and Nico Young breakthrough for their first NCAA title?

Grant Fisher has run 12:53 and 26:33 in the last two weeks. What should we expect of him now?

Gatlin won global 100m titles 13 years apart and retired last month as the fifth-fastest man in history. He also served a four-year ban for doping and his reluctance to discuss it has made discussing his legacy a complicated issue. *MB: Jonathan Gault: Justin Gatlin has left the sport. What is his legacy?

"I really want to race the mile -- like that's where my passion is at right now," said Sahlman in a Q&A with LetsRun after being named the 2021 Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. Sahlman also said he'd "love" to do the Pre Classic mile like former HS teen sensations Alan Webb and Jakob Ingebrigtsen. *MB: Q&A with Colin Sahlman who reveals he's passionate about the mile & wants to run Pre and doesn't rule out turning pro.
