Here's what I'm looking forward to at D2 nationals in San Angelo, Tex., starting Thursday:
- Aaron Braun (Adams State) and his attempt to pull of a 1,500/5,000 double
- Michael Crouch (Queens, N.C.) in the 1,500, when I assumed he would be running the 5,000. This is the indoor 5,000 champ,, you know
- Another chapter of the Chebon-Mwei vs. Maina battle over barriers. Maina is the defending outdoor steeplechase champ; Chebon-Mwei got the better of him at Penn Relays.
- A wide-open 10,000.
- Heat and humidty. Or not: The forecast is for low 80s and chance of thunderstorms.
I can't wait to watch the steeple epic with Maina vs. Mwei. Maina @ Penn was his 1st steeple race of the year. Maina was injured 1st part of season. The tactics will be interesting between the two. It will be fun to watch since Naimadu isn't around to dominate the event anymore.
