In 2008 Shannon Rowbury was the fastest 1500 meter that the US has had in years, running 4:00 in Paris. This year she steps in with some high goals, but also more competition. This year at USAs she may be facing one of the toughest 1500 meter fields that the US women have ever seen. There could possibly be four women that have run between 3:59 and 4:01 all fighting for three spots to represent team USA this August in Berlin at the World Championships. Women's 1500 meter prelims at the USATF Outdoor Track and Field Championships begin on Thursday, June 25th. Make sure to check Flotrack for coverage from Eugene all throughout next week....
