let's start on the american side of the story telling and the reigning american champion nicki hiltz. >> they won the u.s. indoor title. then they won outdoor mile and nicki hiltz just had a sensational outdoor championship past the olympic and world gold medalist to win the first out door national title. >> they had a great smile on their face when crossing the line and eugene win indoors in albuquerque running happy, running openly, and in a good head space into this major championship. >> i talked to nicki recently. they were telling me they were just approaching it. they're not focused on the outcome. they're in the present. that seems to be making a huge difference for nicki. i think we have seen nicki run with joy this year. it's been great to see. >> another story line will follow a couple times today, hassan, another triple and she will appear later on in our evening coverage in the 10,000-meter final. >> if anyone gets to be mad about rain delay it is hassan who is running final of the 10,000 tonight and she needed that extra hour. i am sure she's going to try to get through
