Reed Fischer, an All-American who won three Missouri Valley Conference titles and set three school records at Drake, is one of the hundreds of athletes set to compete at the USA Track & Field Championships this week at Drake Stadium.
But for Fischer, the USA Championship takes on particular significance as he returns to the track where he won a Drake Relays title in the 5,000 meters in 2017 as a collegian and defended that title this year as a professional athlete.
Fischer, who is from Minnetonka, Minn., will race in the 10,000 meters Thursday evening at 7:40 p.
