It truly makes the medals mean more.” Some things to know heading into nationals this week: HEAT WAVE: The competi- tion schedule Thursday has been altered with the temperature expected to reach triple digits most of the week. With a high of 107 degrees predicted, the men’s and women’s 10,000 events were pushed an hour later into the evening. The men’s event won’t start until 10:09 p.m. The coolest day will be Sunday when it’s only supposed to be 97 degrees. HEALING: Sprinter Justin Gatlin has been dealing with a quadriceps/groin injury since February. He wouldn’t put a percentage on his health as he plans to compete in the 100 and 200. “I’ve been to a lot of cham- pionships and trials and have not been 100 percent,” Gatlin said. “I’m where I need to be at.” TICKETS PUNCHED: Being a world or Diamond League champion earned nine U.S. athletes automatic entries into the world championships. The defending world champions include Tianna Bartoletta (long jump), Allyson Felix (400), Joe Kovacs (shot put) and Taylor (triple jump). Those earning spots via the Diamond League are Kerron Clement (400 hurdles), Keni Harrison (100 hurdles), Erik Kynard (high jump), LaShawn Merritt (400) and Cassandra Tate (400 hurdles). EXPECTING: Around five months pregnant with her second child, Alysia Montano is entered in the 800. Montano famously ran at the 2014 U.S. championships while 34 weeks pregnant and finished in 2:32.13 — nearly 35 seconds slower than her personal best of 1:57.34 in 2010. THE NEXT SPRINT STANDOUT: With Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Merritt all in their 30s, this might be the season when some new faces emerge on the sprint scene. Keep a close watch on Tennessee standout Christian Coleman , who turned pro after recently winning the 100 and 200 at the NCAA championships.
