The meet is tomorrow form 2-4 pm ET. The men's 800 with Amos, Korir and Murphy highlights the men's mid and distnace action whereas and the women's 1500 with Dibaba, Simpson and Arafi highlights for the women.

Unfortunately, from the best we can tell, the meet won't be on live in the US unless you subscribe to NBC gold. If I'm mistaken, please post the correction below.

We were spread a little thin this week with two meets in Boston and some family commitments (a 50th wedding anniversary that knocked a few employees out of commission) so there will be no detailed LRC preview or recap of this meet. Well if something unreal happens, we'll write a recap of it.

So please help us out by posting away on the boards about what happens.

The 5000 is not an event for DL points and will be a match in three between the legend old miler, Iguider, and the two best teenagers at 5k, Ethiopian v Kenyan.

The women’s 400 should see another Naser win with second and third played out between Seyni, Francis, and the Botswanan.

I believe the 100 will be Talou, Okagbare, Emmanuel, then the Brazilian.

Any reason Blankenship & Casey are in the B heat 1500 tomorrow? That's gotta be a mistake. Could it be by choice? Ben, at the very least, was an Olympic finalist & ran 3:37 two weeks ago. He has a season best faster than many in the non-DL 1500 & a faster lifetime PR than many in that race.

Ta Lou seems to be a step behind last year. I will take Okagbare in this one.

Still sorta confused by this. They showed up yesterday in the B heat, didn't start that & didn't run the main, non-DL 1500m. Would love some insight if anybody knows what happened. I assume they couldn't get into the main race & scratched but that still doesn't make sense with their SBs + PRs. Would have been a good race for them too with a 3:35-3:39 spread.

Okagbare ftw in 11.05 (-0.6)

Ta Lou not far behind.

Good winning time, Okagbare seems to be dialed-in better this year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 10.8’s from her later in the season.
