USATF Prediction Thread: 800m-10,000m

Surprised there is so much Webb support.

The fact of the matter is that even in one of his worst years, he is still the second seed in this race and beat the first seed (Manzano) in their last race. I don't think he'll run below 3:35 but I don't think he'll need to.

The top 2 guys in this event, Gay and Dix, are the two most humble sprinters involved in the sport. Never seen them showboat, they are very eloquent in the post race interviews, and they are never putting down other runners. Some racist MF'ers on this site.

I think you inadvertently just agreed with me.

Yes “2” of them are great guys.

Webb will likely make the team because Lagat is already in, Manzano is inconsistent, and Lomong hasn't really improved any from last year. Myers could bump him, but I doubt it.

How is Wheating's calf wound?

I think Bumbalough makes it in the 1500.

According to Vin, not 100% but he will most likely be racing. They won't race him if it's not feeling near perfect after his warm up.

Good call. Also call Quigley in the 10K, Bobby Curtis in the 5K, and Fam in the Steeple. Scratching is just a ruse.

Bumbalaugh scratched.
