Well, the fans at the 2011 Drake Relays get to see Jeremy Wariner run his second 400 meters of the 2011 season in about three weeks! His first, as always, is the MJ Invitational in Waco, Texas! Jeremy told RBR in early March that training was going well and that he was looking forward to racing. As is our want, we did ask Mr. Wariner when he will venture over the 800 meters. Jeremy smiled, and noted that it will not be in the near future.
