| Breakdown: While this race is lacking the star power from 2015, that doesn't mean the athletes here can't throw down fast times. Hebert and Gift lead the Houston contingent in the 1600m. While Gift is more of a 3200/5K type runner, he'll test his speed against this field in Austin. Eric Coston is making the trip from Louisiana and has a sub-4:20 and could upset all the Texans. It's an evenly matched group meaning it could turn into a kickers race. If it comes down to a sprint show in the final lap, Bethmann, Heinz, and Hebert have the 800m chops to take down the field. |
