When does Nixa native Courtney Frerichs run at the Tokyo Olympics?

Nixa's Courtney Frerichs is set to represent Team USA for the second time in her career this weekend in Tokyo.

The 3,000-meter steeplechase American record holder hopes to medal this year after placing 11th during the 2016 games in Rio.

Frerichs will run at Olympic Stadium in Tokyo in one of the three heats that begin at 7:40 p.m. Central time on Saturday. The run will be televised on USA Network and be streamed on Peacock.

If Frerichs qualifies for the final, she will run early Wednesday morning and it will likely cost you a few bucks if you want to wake up and watch it live.
