Derrick breaks down outdoor nationals

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Neuqua Valley senior Chris Derrick lent his pen to Dyestat.com in a preview of the 3,200-meter run at the Nike Outdoor Nationals, which are this weekend in Greensboro, N.C.

Derrick does a great job of laying out how the race could go and explains who the true players are in a field that could be good enough to break the national two-mile record.

What makes races like NON so intriguing is it is the first time since Footlocker that all of the top guys get into the same race. Each of these star athletes has become accustomed over these past months to winning, if not dominating, over lesser fields. Now thrust into a race of true peers, strategies and mindsets accrued from months spent as favorites must be adjusted.
