The meet was held on February 14 and 15, 2020. We covered the meet with two podcasts and hope that you enjoy them. This champs will be known as the last championships before the coronavirus pandemic changed everything.
The 3000m events kept us on our toes, as we were able to see Shelby Houlihan and Elle Purrier in a fine race. Paul Chelimo used a fast last 200m to cement his win. He told me in 2019 how much he just loved taking US championships.
