Another week, another loaded meet at a brand-new West Coast stadium. This time it's the USATF Golden Games at Mt. SAC, and it's filled with stars, from Sha'Carri Richardson to Shaunae Miller-Uibo, Elle Purrier to Molly Huddle, and many more.

By Jonathan Gault April 12, 2021 The 1500 meters, simply by the nature of the event, is always going to be one of the most-anticipated races at any championship meet. The race's length is right in the Goldilocks zone -- long enough for drama to build, short enough that the early laps can still matter -- and the tendency for most championship finals to be settled on the final lap creates maximum excitement. Five years ago, the women's 1500 was one of the best races of the US Olympic Trials, with Brenda Martinez edging Amanda Eccleston for the final spot by .03 after both women ran down reigning Trials champ Morgan Uceny in the home straight. The 2019 USA final in Des Moines was just as compelling, with Nikki Hiltz prevailing over Sinclaire Johnson and Kate Grace in a three-way kick for the third spot to Worlds.
