Molly Huddle secured her fifth USATF Outdoors title in the women’s 10,000m with a riveting performance. The American record holder maintained position and won with distance to spare ahead of second place’s Emily Sisson in 31:58.47.

Lomong blazes the Blue Oval

Lopez Lomong defended his USATF title in the men’s 10,000m setting a Drake Stadium record of 27:30.05, a new personal best and the fastest time by an American this year. As the field dropped, Lomong battled Shadrack Kipchirchir through about 22 laps until Lomong turned on the afterburners. He cranked out 55.59 final 400m to beat Kipchirchir by more than 17-seconds.

First rounders

Flowers for Gabe Grunewald

In a special tribute, USATF honored runner Gabe Grunewald in the Nike Women’s 1500m first heat by reserving Lane 1 with flowers at the start. The cancer advocate and Brave Like Gabe Foundation founder lost her battle with cancer earlier this year.

Round and round they go

Back on the track, Allyson Felix made a determined return to competition after giving birth to her first child, daughter Camryn, last year. Running in Heat 1 against young up-and-comer Lynna Irby, the decorated Olympian ran an impressive first round Xfinity Women’s 400m in 52.20, clinching fourth place in her heat and qualifying for the semifinals. Irby won the heat in 51.14.

Hundred standards

14 of 16 women and 10 of 16 men that qualified out of the first round have already claimed the World Championships Qualifying standard. Isiah Young clocked the fastest overall time in the Nike Men’s 100m in 10.14 out leaning 2017 World Champion Justin Gatlin in 10.16. Michael Rodgers (10.24), Chris Belcher (10.25) and Ronnie Baker (10.26) rounded out the top-five finishers in the first round.
