USATF 20k Start List

Ok, I'll bite

I predict

Abdi

Teg

Weitcha

Huddle

Hastings

Bawcom

This is a really deep field and I think it comes down to who has already been training hard and who is beginning their long build-up to the Trials. But here's my top 10:

1. Jared Ward

2. Ritz

3. Abdi

4. Mecheso

5. Teg

6. Pennel

7. Arciniaga

8. Braun

9. Cabada

10. Puskedra

It looks like it's missing a few people. Where is this list posted at?

Um, it's a USATF championship, so I'm guessing, the USATF site of championship races.

With this field, I'd say something below 59 would have to win it.

The only ones I can see doing that are

Ritz

Teg

Puskedara

Possibly Abdi or Ward

Girls

1:05-1:06

Huddle

Cragg

Bekele

Shea

Maybe Scherf if she doesn't go out way too fast

Noticed the OP's list was missing some.

like Sam Chelanga. The probable winner?

No Zach Orenelas?

All I can say when I see that is WOW.

I count 7 Olympians. At least 2 former or current AR holders. At least 3 females who have run under 15:30. I count 3 guys who have run under 28:00, (maybe 4?)

This should be quite a race. Not to be missed. Is it streamed?

I'll take

Linden for women

Abdi for men

Now,

How many think huddle will still run New Haven?

Redeem herself?

Thoughts?

chalenga over ward if they both run. ritz third

huddle, desi, cragg

Molly may still be in mourning. But, I would love to see her here in CT and display her true class by openly discussing the mistake that cost her a medal.

I feel she will run. And, like Ray said, I feel she will make that little incident a distant memory. And, in Rio, if she does well, no one will care what happened in the WC.

Clint Wells? he's gotta be in the masters division by now right? Haven't seen Stephen Pifer's name in a while too..

I'll say

Ritz

Chelanga

Abdi

Puskedra

Teg

Gotcher

Ward

Pennel

Arciniaga

Braun

Stinson

Huddle

Cragg

Russell

Then somebody please tell me, why a guy who is still in his 20's, and ran under 28 for a 10k, can not break 58 for the 20k? I mean I have run this course. It's flat and fast. I have run 1:06:+ here in my early 30's back in the day. And, I was a 15:45-16:00 5k guy.
