Not everyone from Colorado who is competing this weekend is headed to Albuquerque.
D'Evelyn's Lexi Reed has found her way into a very strong field of milers at the Nike Festival of Miles in St. Louis on Thursday evening.
For Reed, it's an excellent shot at smashing through her personal record of 4:56.50, set just this spring at the Chandler Rotary meet in Arizona.
The field Reed will be facing off against includes Iowa phenom Stephanie Jenks, plus at least four other sub-five milers from Missouri.
There are no Colorado entries in the boys field.
The race starts at 8:20 PM CDT (7:20 PM MDT) and will be streamed on FloTrack. High school race videos will be archived on MileSplit following the event.
