Reportedly, there will be misters alongside the track for tonight's 10,000-meter finals at the USA Track & Field Outdoor Championships.
The meet begins today at Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, where the predicted high temperature is 109 degrees.
It shouldn't that hot by the time the women's 10,000 goes off at 9:27 p.m. The men's race will follow.
There are a lot of locally-based stars in the two races. Among the entries in the women's race are the University of Portland's Lauren LaRocco, as well as Shalane Flanagan, Amy Cragg and Emily Infeld of the Bowerman Track Club.
