The Texas Qualifier: Coach Abert races 5K

Feature: The Texas Qualifier

This weekend, Trials of Miles Racing hosts The Texas Qualifier, a two night meet in Austin, TX, staged to help athletes attain U.S. Olympic Trials qualifying or Olympic qualifying times. Despite the recent winter weather disaster that left millions without water, power, food, and/or shelter across Texas, the meet will fortunately be able to go ahead as planned. Those wishing to support the relief effort can contribute to organizations such as Austin Disaster Relief.

The meet features races from 800m up to 10,000m, with fields including many of the top distance runners in the U.S. It's hard to even pick from the list of luminaries who are slated to toe the line, but you can read previews of the races on the Citius Mag webpage.

Minnesota Distance Elite has one athlete making the trip to Austin. Colin Abert (pictured above, on the right) will be racing the 5000m in one of the developmental heats on Saturday evening. A 1500m specialist, Colin has been building a strong aerobic base over the the last year, and aims to cut some time off his 14:10 personal best from his years at Penn State University.

Spectators are not allowed, but fans can follow along for free, with the developmental races being shown on the Trials of Miles Instagram Live, and the featured events on the Citius Mag YouTube channel.
