Good luck Bobby. I think he has a legitimate chance to take the win.

if it is a kickers race pifer wins.

if it's a fast race vaughn wins.

either scenario curtis is probably in the 2-3 range.

Bobby will win it easy... pifer has run fast 15's but I'm still not convinced he can kick like bobby can.
haha, YO

If it's a fast race he gets second to Vaughn. Slow race, he's still behind Vaughn. Vaughn is on a whole different level then the rest of these guys right now. I'm not trying to put down Bobby's ability he's a great runner, but this is definitly Vaughns year.
haha, YO

I'm going to say Vaughn doesn't win either. I think a darkhorse will come out and steal the show, kind of like the indoor 3k with Alcorn.

Yes we will, should be a great race. Vaughn kind of reminds me of how Rupp was last year, busts out an insane time and seems like the class of field but come race time I think he will make a poor tactical decision or just plain get outkicked and end up second or something to someone no one was thinking would win. I am in no way bashing Vaughn by saying this, it would be great to see him win. I just have a feeling that is how tonight will go. Can't wait to see it.

Curtis was second only to Solinsky last year in a solid off moderate fractioned 13:39, he is way better than a year ago.

Vaughn was a very very good Xc runner, top 5 twice?.

Curtis was 15th as a soph and 4th this year , injured year before probably a top 10 type then.

He just ran 3:40.x for 1500

Vaughn's best is 3:43.x

In a slow race, my money would easily be on Curtis, in a moderate race, maybe a toss up, with Pifer right there in a mid 13:30's 40's race as well..

There is no other race, no one is going out and running 13:20's solo at NC meet, just is not happeneing, I do not think.

It's not so much middle distance PRs that help you win as much as it is who is fresher with a lap to go....which will be Vaughn.
