As on the front page:
Who will win, Fam or Willis or maybe someone else? Willis is undoubtably the best miler but has been injured, with this his first race back. Fam is on fire and will surely want a fast race to extinguish Willis's kick. I predict 3.53.7-Willis for the win with Fam .25 back, just sneaking under 3.54. Should be a great race. Any other predictions?
prediction....3.55 Fam, Nick 3rd (3.56)...
...yeah this should be a good race but dont be expecting super fast times. nick wont be in fantastic shape yet. will be interesting to hear how much solid training he has got in sinced injured during the kiwi summer. I think there may be many other guys in the race that could challange anothony and nick.
It's Willis' birthday today. I don't think he's in amazing shape yet, but what do I know? It wasn't long ago that he just seemed to get back to jogging.
they have Willis in a mile at the Gena relays meet in Michigan this weekend.
Willis 3:56
Fam +0:00.xx

Im assuming you mean 4:00.xx? Fam should be in shape to go 354 right now i would imagine. Not saying he will but hes definately fit enough to at least. He ran a 353 equiv last year in the 1500 and he just ran a 1311 5k so he's in the shape of his life. Will that kind of pace be in this race? thats the only thing stopping him from throwing down a blazing time.
he means Fam under a second back
Well, ASSume you did!
How could you NOT know what he meant?
Typical Mrr82....

I have to agree. I know Willis is full of God given talent, but I'm not sure he'll be in top form for his first race. I still think he'll dip under 4:00, but not sure if he'll win it.
well last time willis was injured I seem to remember his first race back, just a month of running was a 7.42 3000m. With that guy nothing would surprise me. That being said I think it will be 3.54 Fam for 1st Willis second in 3.56.
fam easily for the win, willis just aint in that kind of shape yet.
What's the track like? The last time I saw the IHS track, it was a none-too-fast cinder job. (I'm glad they named it for Harold Porter, though--what a great person and coach.)
Willis will win this one so easy. Injury doesn't mean a shit to talented milers, they got the inherent speed to run a fast mile with very limited amount of training. Speed comes easy, while endurance takes quite a while to regain.
