Scratches up --
Murphy opting for the 1500.
Nice to see Schulist returning to form. Partner in crime Alexis Wiersma entered in 1500 5k and 10k.
Because I'm a stathead and there are some events where the scratches are ridiculous --
Average Place of Last qualifier on Review List:
West Women -- 58.39
East Women -- 58.11
West Men -- 58.11
East Men -- 56.33
-- East runs a bit closer to the season performances than the West, but not by much
Best events (last qualifier is closest to 48)
West Women -- Steeple (48th!), Pole Vault and Triple tied for second (49th)
East Women -- Steeple, Pole Vault, and Triple all 49th
-- Whats with those three events?!
West Men -- High Jump (48th!), Hammer second at 49th
East Men -- High Jump & Hammer both 50th
-- Again, mirrors across both regions
Worst Events (absolute carnage in the scratches)
West Women -- 1500m (92nd)
- no one wants to run this event. Almost 1 out of every 2 scratched.
East Women -- 200m (83rd)
- Again, this weird no-womans land. The 100m is only 67, the 400m better at 60, and the 100m hurdles 56 -- did just no one want to double, or did a lot of people get hurt?
West Men -- 200m (81st)
- Just like the east women, all the other sprints hew much closer to form except this one
East Men -- 5000m (79th)
- Are Tiernan, Knight, and Curtin so dominant that people would rather take their chance elsewhere?

Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
