FLASH: Brown to Race 5000m, Not Steeple

Team USA Minnesota has announced that Emily Brown will compete in the 5000 meters, and not the 3000m steeplechase, at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials which open on Friday in Eugene, Oregon.

Brown's 15:19.57 mark in the 5000m positions her as the #8-seed in the event. Her 9:45.38 mark would have made her the #7-seed in the steeplechase.
