All Americans Wanted in NB Nationals Boys 2000m Steeplechase

The steeplechase is not a typically run high school event. But that didn't prevent the New Balance Nationals Outdoor field from being a fast one. The field is headlined by U.S. No. 1 Luke Anderson from Harbor Beach Michigan. This will only be the second time he has run the steeple, but that won't hold him back from running a fast time at NBNO.

Also in the field is Jack Jibb, the Footlocker Cross Country National Finalist and fourth place finisher in the steeple at NBNO last year. His PR of 5:57.24 will make him a contender in this race as well. No matter what this will be a race to watch. How often can you say you watched high schoolers run the steeplechase?
