We were paced by Moh for a majority of the race before I finished in 12:58.10. Lopez ran 13:00.13 and Matthew Centrowitz ran 13:00.39. We all dipped under the 2020 Olympic standard of 13:13.50.

You don’t need to look much further than the two-toned hair of Shelby Houlihan to find the future of American distance running. Rolling off a solid Olympic debut, Houlihan won double national titles this winter and looks poised to make her first outdoor worlds team as a 24 year old. With that expectation of carrying the torch comes a lot of pressure, something Shelby is not afrai
