Can't wait to watch Ben True out kick Ritz for 1st place in the 10K.

Hah you funny guy!
Nope.
I've got a feeling we'll see a pretty good time/performance from Vaughn in the 10,000. Seems like he had pretty solid fitness for the marathon trials and ran a nice 5,000 a few weeks back off of (from what i understand) some high mileage.
Oh, and one more thing... wrote:
Just to be sure, BOTH Morgan Ucenys are in the 800!
Uceny doesn't stand a chance against Uceny.
I heard Jager will be pacing Lomong and Bumbalough (they're all on the same team). I predict:
Bumbalough/Lomong 13:12
Teg/Willis 13:15
college studs (Hill, etc) coming in mid-13:20s and up
Also, I think Jager will run 8:20 in the steeple and Derrick will set a huge PR in 27:30 in the 10,000.
Looking forward to seeing Eric Ashe in the 1500!
Levins is in the 10000m btw. Not listed but he's in.
Derrick or Levins??

neither puskedra and mo ahmed
Mo Trafeh listed in 5K and 10K, that could be interesting.
Ritz 27:30
Trafeh
Derrick 27:40
Levins
Bumby 13:10
Lomong
Teg
Hill 13:25
Jager 8:15
Where is Solinsky? Still hurt?
Interested to see how 1500 guys Willis & Lomong stack up against Teg (13:14 last year) and Bumbi (13:16 last year).
Maybe Ryan Hill gets in A Standard (didn't he run 7:43 Indoors?).
I think Lomong will be right there with Bumbalough and Teg and could very easily win it. He beat Rupp in the 3000 soon before or after Rupp ran 8:09 for the 2 mile.
Hill's 7:43 is unbelievably spectacular, but I think he's overmatched here, despite his PR matching up with Bumbalough's. He's just not quite on the same level, though very very good.
Teg is a big question mark. He hasn't looked great this year so far, but I have to think he'll round into form.
Looks like Webb is running for Nike again?
hopefully Nate Brennand will be a late entry
Nike Oregon Project coach Alberto Salazar said that he and Dathan Ritzenhein chose to play it safe when the former U.S. 5,000-meter record-holder began experiencing pain in one of his toes.
So Ritzenhein withdrew from last weekend's 5k at the Mt. SAC Relays as a precautionary measure.
"We don't know if it was a little bit of tendinitis or a little stress reaction," Salazar said this week. "We couldn't tell on the MRI. Running at Mt. SAC would have been foolish. And we're not going to run at Payton Jordan."
The Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational is Sunday.
Salazar said the pain has gone away and Ritzenhein has continued to train.
"He's done some great workouts," Salazar said.
The workouts have not been on the track. Ritzenhein has been training on grass, on an anti-gravity treadmill, and an underwater treadmill.
Ritzenhein won the 10,000 earlier this month at the Stanford Invitational in 28 minutes, 21.48 seconds.
Salazar said the current plan will be for Ritzenhein to next run at the USATF High Performance Meet at Occidental on May 18 in Los Angeles or, possibly, the Oregon Twilight on May 5 at Hayward Field in Eugene.
"We had a little scare," Salazar said. "But Dathan will be fine."
High Schooler Cayla Hatton in the 10,000m...

Teg actually is looking pretty good - has been doing very high mileage and ran a 3:41 1500 a few weeks ago off of that big mileage and recent altitude training. He could be ready for a very fast 5k (13:10 or under)
Another race where Ritz is announced to compete and another withdrawal....
Does he have any trials standard yet in the 5000 or 10,000??
