Neuqua Valley graduate Chris Derrick would be running at the Nike Outdoor Nationals if not for his recent illness, but he is in Greensboro, N.C., this weekend working as a correspondent for Dyestat.com.

His coverage of the meet -- Derrick's Dispatches -- can be read here.

This was a great line from his Friday post about German Fernandez breaking the national two-mile record.

German is the most incredibly even pacer (even while racing guys) that I have ever seen or heard of. Forget testing for drugs, test for a freaking computer chip.

Hopefully, Chris can catch up with Benet sophomore McKinzie Schulz, who is slated to run the 2,000-meter steeplechase at 10:45 a.m. and the 800 at 4:55 p.m. today. Last summer, Schulz won the 2,000-meter steeplechase at AAU Nationals and won the 1,500 at the USATF Nationals.
