Is it just the top 6 that make All-American?
Casey barely won that race at indiana last chance in over 4 minutes, do you really think he will be able to hang with someone like lee emanueal or mac fleet? they will destroy him, he is fast though but not in this league yet.
Marc Salopek will win. He is very fast. He came in third at practice today. Oh wait, he is a weekday hero.
Actually it can be used either way. The English language is fun like that.
Now to criticize your sentence.... There should be a comma after "back" and before "son"
I think Lukas Verzbicas will take it.
Emmanuel.
Oldest guy (by far) in the field takes it easily.
Acosta and Fleet go 2-3 for huge event for Ducks
Any predictions as to how the trials/prelims will go? Is it top 8 times to finals? Or top four in each heat? Or some combo of the two?

Top 8
you cant predict a race that has the entire field under 4 and its going to be tactical. dylan ferris could possibly win the whole damn thing, no idea whats going to happen. all i know is that its going to be a great prelim and final to watch
if mac fleet is the most fit athlete over the mile distance he will win, but please stop the arguement that whoever has the best 'kick' will win and it will be a tactical race. whoever 'kicks' the most probably would have won a paced faster race as well.
anyone watch the IAAF finals last year. they crawled and kenny b still outkicked lagat and arguably a few others that most here on the boards would pick to beat him in an open 1500.
whoever is the most fit will win, fast or slow pace.
now if they run the first 3/4 mile in 5 minutes, then your argument stands a better chance.
search the thread or 'week that was' where the brojos and jk talked about the myth of the 'kick'.
I'm supporting Casey. He's an unknown and probably a long shot, but no one is a sure favorite in this race. P. Casey FTMFW!
what you're saying is true to a point. But in that race you talked about Lagat was very close to beating KB. You really think that if KB hammered out a 12 45 Lagat would have been on his ass with 50 to go?
It doesn't purely become the fastest 400 guys advantage as soon as the race slows down but the person who can run the fastest 400 1200 meters into a race will not always be the person with the fastest PR. A guy like Galen would probably lose to Wheating in a race that went 4 02 even though Galen's PR is at least a second faster.
In a slower race a guy like Fleet may be able to run closer to his 400 pr than some of the other guys, but if their 400 is faster than his they don't need to be able to run as close to their PR's to beat him.
It bothers me that Lee Emmanuel is 25. I run in the ivy league, we aren't allowed to redshirt, and so my college career is going to be over at 22. 25 is ridiculously old.
If you wanted to be 25 and still eligible for athletics then you should have waited 3 years after high school to go to college.
I don't care how stupid I am, Pat Casey doesn't get top 5.

Why not? You have some kind of inside knowledge the rest of us don't know about? His marks are on par with the rest of the field, he's fit, and he's got wheels. I'm sure you've never seen the guy race or even heard his name before this week, so either explain your reasoning or shut the f*** up.
lol trust me you won't be any faster at 25 than when you graduate, you're slow now and even when you're 25 still wouldn't be able to compete with the best, stop crying like a little bitch because youre slow.

the guy who can run the fastest 400 1200 meters into the race is the most fit individual over the distance. period. for the same reason lasse viren (spelling) was still able to win in 72 after they crawled for the first 2.1 miles then blasted the last mile.
if bolt's mile capability is 4:20, and he races lagat and 3 laps into they are at 3:15, and lagat is on his shoulders, guess who is going to win? lagat. why? because he is the most fit athlete at the given distance.
whoever wins the race isn't the person with the best kick. if fleet wins, it isn't because of his kicking ability, its because hes in better shape than everyone else.

This is awful logic. You basically said Bolt can only run 4:20, and he and Lagat race 3/4ths of a mile at 4:20 pace, who is going to win. ANYONE who runs faster than 4:20 would win that race by that logic.
Say Bolt can run 4:10, and THEN the race goes out in 3:15. Who wins then? I think you are trying to say Lagat would because he is "more fit" but I am not so sure that is good logic either. What if the first 3/4ths are out in 5:00?
