But shes far from a lock with an ankle that made winning the 400 earlier in the week troublesome and running the curve in the 200 less than ideal.Whats more, this is Prandinis house. The former University of Oregon standout will have about 100 friends and family in attendance to watch her race. They even designed T-shirt with Go, Jenna, Go stenciled on them.Im at my home track, my whole family is here, Prandini said.

That opens things up for someone such as Bryan McBride, who won an NCAA title at Arizona State in 2014.GOING THE DISTANCE: Already through in the 10K, Molly Huddle tries to earn a spot in the 5,000.
