I didn't realize Chirlee had run 2:12. I don't think he'll make the team, but it's hard not to cheer for a hard-working immigrant, especially one who is in the service. America the melting pot, baby!
My emotional underdog picks are Sean Quigley and Zac Hine (New England bias).
Tera Moody. As someone who has the same sleep disorder for most of my life, I love how she has over come it.
Tera Moody and Scotty Mac.
The team:
1) Galen Rupp
2) Michael Wardian
3) Max King

+1 for Scotty Mac. That video on Flotrack of him training in solitude in the hills of Texas made me a fan of him.

Rupp will either not race the whole thing (do a workout) or win by over half a mile. Mr. Hall, as proven by his 4:17 road mile last year, has no turnover to speak of. Meb, as proven by his current sponsorship (am I the only one who didn't realize Sketchers had running shoes?) is nothing short of a joke.

And I'm a huge fan of the Rogue running group so he gains a lot of respect from me.

Mike Morgan!
Ashley Gorr.
Yeahhhhhhhh Tera Moody!
Except that Meb just ran 2:09:xx at NY which is faster than just about everyone in this race
Speed kills; therefore Hall has no chance whatsoever against Rupp. If it's slow enough, Ryan might have an outside shot. He'll only make it if the pace is honest.
Official Prediction:
1)Rupp (2:03:23)
2)Ed Moran (2:11:59)
3) Luke Watson (2:14:47)
... 10) Hall fades to 2:18:32 after hitting 13.1 in 58:42 with Rupp.
