We break down the middle-distance and distance action for you for this Weekend's USA Indoor Track and Field Championships.

Also Erik Sowinski and Isaiah Harris.

Emmanuel Korir had the best 800 season since David Rudisha's magical 2012 campaign. Meanwhile, Clayton Murphy started off both indoors and outdoors slowly but nearly returned to his Olympic bronze medal winning form.

Murphy and Wilson were you expect them: atop the US 800 ranks.

What a day at NCAAs in the distances. We recap it all.

Raevyn Rogers, one of the all-time greats, is gone but an even bigger talent may already be on the scene to replace her in Texas A&M true frosh Sammy Watson. *MB: 2018 NCAA indoor 800 - Who wins M. Saruni or I. Harris? Will freshman phenom Sammy Watson take over for Raevyn Rogers?  

All 3 Americans (Donavan Brazier, Drew Windle and Isaiah Harris) advanced with Brazier's show coming untied.

History very well may repeat itself in the men's 800 this year. But will it be David Rudisha winning again in London or might it be an upstart NCAA freshman star winning a global title? And don't sleep on Nijel Amos.

Jager is looking for his sixth straight US title while Centro looks for his third straight while Clayton Murphy is hoping to qualify in both the 800 and 1500. *MB: 2017 USAs: Who wins at 800: Brazier or Murphy ? Can Murphy pull of the 8/15 double? Is Jager vulnerable in steeple?
