USA track and field championships





So, we're in Eugene Oregon, Hub of distance running. We're anticipating the USA T & F championships, which will start tomorrow! Josh will be running the steeple chase and will have a prelim tomorrow (6/25) and a final on saturday. If you are interested in watching the prelim, you can go to http://www.flotrack.org/articles/view/1240-usatf-and-flotrack-partner-to-provide-live-webcasts-of-2009-usa-outdoors (if this link doesn't work for some reason you can go to flotrack.org and they should have something on their home page about the USA's coverage) The race time is 7:25 pm Pacific Time. There are 2 heats for the prelim, Josh will be in the 2nd heat. The final is at 5:40 pm Pacific Time. The final will most likely be on NBC- but if you can not find it there it will be streamed on flotrack.org.
Also pay attention to Rich Nelson of BYU, who will be next to Josh on the starting line, and Kyle Perry, just graduated from BYU and has rejoined josh as his teamate on team NB!

This year is a "world championship year" so the top 3 from each race will get to be on the USA track and field team and will compete in Berlin later on this summer! Good luck to Josh!
