On Running is sponsoring the LetsRun.com Countdown to the Trials.

Your weekly run down of the track and field world. Rojo starts with a DK Metcalf victory lap, we discuss whether Sean McGorty is the future of the steeple, praise Elle Purrier, blast the US men's 1500m runners, wonder what is going on with Nikki Hiltz and Molly Huddle, look at Yared Nuguse's victory over Cole Hocker.

At 82:27 we're joined by the OAC's Alicia Monson, the woman coach Dathan Ritzenhein said could be "the next great American female distance runner." We talk about Alicia turning pro, joining the OAC, and getting ready for next month's Olympic Trials where she's an up and coming underdog in either the 5,000, 10,000 or both. Can she really be the next Deena or Shalane? First up is trying to make Olympic team #1.
