RE: Grace Forbes, Michelle Fokam - NCAA Indoor T&F Championships
The Ivy League announced today they're canceling all spring sports. I wonder if the Brown girl still gets to compete? Hopefully she does.
Audience for this event is also in question I would think as the New Mexico governor is trying to limit people at events. I'll assume the meet is still on as scheduled, but I could see them banning attendance outside of family members similar to the basketball announcement.
From a competitive standpoint, what's your take on Grace running the 3000 in altitude, WRC? A couple of the runners are certainly more acclimated to altitude than Forbes you'd have to assume.

1. No fans at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
2. Weini Kelati of New Mexico should be the favorite, because she's used to the Albuquerque altitude. I don't think anyone else will be at an advantage or disadvantage. Expect the pace to be very cautious.
