Stanford is going to be well represented. Two outstanding entrants really stand out to me -- Valerie Allman and Grant Fisher. Allman, in the discus, looked fantastic, got off a a great series of throws -- three of them exceeded the best throw of the person who finished second. She looks in really good shape. She's a superstar, coming in as the 2021 Olympic champion. And Fisher looked also looked really good in the 5000, won in a meet record, strong and in great shape. He also already made the team in the 10,000, so question is will he run both, or only one, and if so, which. We'll be cheering on the US team in July, but especially looking for all the Stanford folk.
Fisher will run both. 10,000 is his better event and it's first, then 4 days until 5000 heats start. So good schedule for a double.
