Stember spoke to Mark Winitz for a story that appeared in Runner's World
on-line this past Monday. He said he is going to Europe to compete in a
1500m in Malmo on August 7, then Zurich (the "B" race?) on August 11 and
others until no longer necessary to get his "A" qualifier.

Stember and Lunn both ran 3:37 at the Trials, and both have
proved it wasn't a one-time fluke, with follow-on 3:37's at post-Sacramento
meets.
Either would appear to have a solid chance to get a 3:36, given the
right weather, situation, and a good field to drag them along.
Lunn continues to chase it on the European circuit (no problem with
finding a field to "draft" behind there), specifically Belgium and then
Zurich are coming up I've been told; while I haven't heard anything to
indicate that Stember will go anywhere than the Stanford "special meets" to
chase the elusive 3:36.
