My Men's 1500 predictions.
Based on what I saw indoor and from outdoor last year.
Gold: Ty griffin (outdoor 1500 defending champ, sick kick)
Silver: Nick Guarino (indoor mile defending champ)
Bronze: Matt Turlip (looked good all indoor)
Others in the mix:
Tony Dipre (Ran tough at Nats, bronze medal mile)
Nick Yochum (silver medal nats indoor mile)
Chass Armstrong (Ran a ballsy 1200 leg in DMR. Arguably best race out of anyone in the DMR at indoors)
I like this. I need to see a solid performance from griffen though first before I put him as the favorite. Right now Guarino to me is the favorite after his sick indoor mile. I like your rationale on the rest of them though. What about the other distance races?

I have heard people say that Kosgei quit, that he is injured, and even that he went pro. What is the deal? Can someone give me more than a three word answer?
You will find he's using his last year of elig in 2011, since it will take him that long to finish school.
Amazing how Bofa didn't make finals indoors for 800m. Then he comes out of the gate and blasts a 1:48! Where will he be at the end of the season though?
Men's 800 predictions
Gold: Bofa. No way he doesn't take this one. 1:48, too damn good, learned a lesson about prelims at indoors. He will own.
Silver: Kehoe. Indoor champ. Very good, but not Bofa.
Bronze: Litsheim fastest time indoor and bronze at Nats.
Others in the mix
Lang: gave up his 800 spot indoors to focus on DMR not to mention 4th at outdoor last year.
Zeien: Silver indoors, 8th outdoors. showed a big jump from an 8th to a second place... maybe could translate well.
Brush: sixth outdoors as a freshman, ran on silver medal DMR this year.
Hutton: 4th indoors this year. qualified as a freshman outdoors last year, failed to make finals, but noticeable difference in 1 year.
Doesn't najem have a year of eligibility left? I have to think he'll be in the mix. I think he ran 1:50 or 1:51 a few weeks ago
Yea, I do think Guarino Takes it outdoors. He had an impressive race. It 'll be interesting to see what Justin Wager does, His shoe came off in the prelims of the mile, I mean he is a 3:50 guy...
It'll probably come down to kickers though as usual, Griffin strong kick to win, Same with Guarino indoors. Those are my top two picks based on their performance and kicking ability.
I don't know if Armstrong does the 1500 or not (never seen/heard of him before indoor dmr) but he looked good and looked like he has a solid one too.
Of course Turlip, or Dipre could just run away with it, he looked strong doing most of the leading indoors.
I have heard from multiple sources that Dipre is redshirting the Outdoor season because he has Indoor Eligibility left therefore he will stay at his school for an extra year and run indoor and outdoor. It has been proven that he is redshirting because on Washington and Jeffersons meet performance list he was unattached.
dannggg so neither dipre, nor jeramie parker for Allegheny this spring

The 1500 is ALL Chass Armstrong does! He added on an extra 300 after his DMR leg because he COULDN'T STOP. Chass Armstrong runs the 1500 before breakfast, after breakfast, during lunch, and again right before bed. In fact, his training consists of only two things: 1. Running 1500s, and 2. Running 1500s.
In all seriousness though, he's provisionally qualified the last couple years in outdoors, PR is a 3:52 from last year.
Nope no Parker or Dipre. But my money is on Parker next Indoor Season.
Seriously on Parker and Dipre???? That is ridiculous.... they should have very little excuses when it come to the DMR next year.
Who is the "huge clown from dickinson"?

Pretty solid showing by NYU men and women at Princeton friday night. Turlip ran 3:50, Lee 9:10?
Here's the official site:
http://www.tfrrs.org/lists/530.htmlYeah, on that list NYU currently has Turlip #1 in 1500, Evans #4 1500, Keller #4 at 10,000, with Lee (9:12) and Boyd at #1/#5 in SC. They also have two or three women with the potential to qualify in the 5,000, and could put a killer team on the course in cross this fall--though last fall's #1 seems to be MIA, maybe injured?
that's a suckass website. and it's not official either.
Bump-a-licious
