UTEP runner trying to break record this weekend

The UTEP track team enters its regular-season finale, the Brutus Hamilton Invitational in Berkley, Calif., with several different goals.

For athletes on the bubble of a regional-qualifying spot, there's a chance to get it before the Conference USA meet when a top place is a bigger priority than a big mark. For a star like Tobi Amusan, who has the world's second-best 100-meter hurdles time this season, it's a chance to rest by doing an alternate event, in her case, the long jump.

Then there is 800 runner Emmanuel Korir, and from a national perspective, he's the one eyes from all over the country will be looking at.
