LAWRENCE, Kan.: Wallace Spearmon Jr. didn't run the 200 meters at the Texas Relays a few weeks ago. He's not running it this weekend at the Kansas Relays. He may not run it in the next couple of weeks.

Is there something wrong with the current indoor American record holder? Nope. It's all part of Spearmon's runup to the Olympics.

That's right, the guy who used to just show up and run past everybody actually has a plan this year.

"For the first time ever I somewhat put a plan together," Spearmon said on Friday. "It used to be I feel like running this weekend, so I go out there and run. You're young, you think you can do anything."

Spearmon is one of the headliners Saturday at the Kansas Relays, along with two-time world champion shot putter Chris Cantwell, former 400 hurdles world champ Bershawn Jackson and Muna Lee, a 2004 Olympian in the 200.
