Obviously we'll have to see how each athlete's season develops, but I figured I wanna see how many I get right come the trials/US champs.

I know nothing but I would love to see other peoples suggestions

800m Mens - Pretty Much completely wide open. I'd Say solomons a lock, but now that symmonds is switching, the other 2 spots are open.

Duane Solomon

Casimir Loxsom

Robby Andrews

800m Womens- Also very wide open, Montano, Martinez, Price, Wilson seem like the main candidates

Martinez

Montano

Wilson

1500m Mens - Centro is a lock, but Manzanos getting older and is very inconsistent

Centro

Manzano - barely makes it

Pat Casey - seems like he finally hit his stride, Between him and Blankenship

probably

1500m Womens - Simpson and Rowbury both seem like locks, other spots are wide open

Simpson

Rowbury

Mary Cain - hesitant, just putting her down cause i'm a fan. Moser, Martinez ( if she runs the 1500 ), Grunewald, Mackey

5000m Mens - these are fairly easy

Rupp

Lagat

True??

5000m Womens

Huddle( though she says she'll run the 10k, I think she should try doubling though, thatd be cool )

Rowbury if she doubles

Hasay??

3k Steeple

Mens:

Jager

Cabral

Huling - Possibly tabor stevens in this mix if he gets serious and progresses like i hope he will

Womens steeple

Coburn

Garcia

Higginson

10k mens

Rupp

Derrick

Ryan Vail??? Not sure about this spot at all

10k Womens

Huddle

Conley

Hasay

Marathon - Mens

Ritz

Meb

Cabada

Women Marathon

Flanagan

Hastings

Linden

My knowledge gets lesser as you move up in distance, and american 10k running is unbelievably weak in depth.

re: Cool kid

I think sowinski takes cas spot

also vail has no chance at the team cause lagat might move up to 10k

re: Cool kid

I expect Ryan Hill to be a major factor in the 5000. And there's a good chance Lomong will be in it as well.

True was fantastic yesterday in beating Sambu but he was fantastic in the spring last year (at Payton Jordan) and it didn't really carry over to the summer. He could see that open third spot for the 10000m team and go for that.

If True, Hill and Lomong are all in top form and focused on the 5000 (along with Rupp/Lagat), it figures to be the best race of the meet.

Yeah he ran great this indoor season, true could probably take vails spot in the 10k

Hill had great form, so did lomong this season

we'll see.

I'm a big fan of hill

Cant even try with the marathon, I don't think many of our runners want to run in that heat and smog, with no appearance fee, Eggleston probably will though.

re: Cool kid

Manzano is getting older, but everyone knows he doesn't get in shape early like Centro or Lomong try to. He is good when he needs to be, and is actually very consistent, having been in the top 3 of the U.S. for a long time now.
