Lopez Lomong day before 2011 Stanford Payton Jordan 1500

Lopez Lomong is coming off a quiet yet successful year in 2010. Lopez Lomong had some ups and downs but ended up setting his PR by a few tenths of a second in 3:32 for the 1500 meters. This year Lomong has made some changes. After feeling like he needed a group to train with, he along with old coach John Hayes, Lomong moved to Portland, OR in January to work with Jerry Schumacher and the OTC group. He is loving the group, but unfortunately was injured when he move with an IT band problem and was sideline until March 7th. With the gift of getting fit very quickly and an increases load of base mileage, Schumacher is has Lopez feel strong and further along at this point than he was a year ago. Lomong will open up his season with a 1500 at Stanford tomorrow.
