Track and Running on TV There’s not much on this week. It’s a calm before the storm, as next week the Olympic Trials begin.

We do have an interesting piece of information to pass along: WCSN.com is now partnering with NBC Sports and will be renamed as Universal Sports, with both a website and a cable TV channel.

The week’s listings (as usual, all times EDT):
