It's an important weekend for Team USA Minnesota distance runners. Four members of the elite development group will compete at the 12th annual Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational hosted by Stanford University in Palo Alto, California on Sunday.

Katie McGregor and Emily Brown will run in the women's 5000 meter event; Matt Gabrielson is entered in the men's 5000 meters; and Mandi Zemba will compete in the women's 10,000 meter field.

McGregor will open her outdoor track season in the 5000. The University of Michigan grad has a PR of 15:22.60 in the event. Brown, who is coming off last weekend's 9:45.38 steeplechase at the Drake Relays will compete in her first track 5000m since 2006 when she ran 16:28.24 at the Big Ten Championships for the Gophers.

Gabrielson, who ran 4:08.14 at Drake in the mile, returns to the track on Sunday to run the 5000 meters. He has a life-time best in the 5000 of 13:30.68, which he set last summer in Europe. Making her 10,000m track debut is Zemba.

Some of the U of M's top male distance runners will also compete at Stanford, including Stanford grad Forrest Tahdooahnippah, now a law student at the U of M.
