Official 2016 Camel City Elite Discussion Thread

Centro 3:54.8

Loxsom 1:47.4

Heath 7:41.1

Hunter 8:09.2

Bishop - 1:59

Rowbury - 4:25

Mackey - 8:55

checked the entries lists to make my predictions a little better

the mile is centro vs pablo solares vs cory leslie. solares is rowbury's husband btw. anyway, centro wins obviously, probably about 3:55-3:56. he put 3:55.0 as an entry time. brandon hudgins is the only other sub-4 guy in the race, if i remember correctly he first broke 4 at one of those small new england mile races last summer. (hoka meet?)

W800 - melissa bishop, 1:57 last year, vs phoebe wright. bishop should win easily if she's in half decent shape. 2:02 is my guess

M800 - cas loxsom, brandon johnson, ryan martin. cas should win easily, 1:48 probably. his indoor PR is just 1:50 apparently? according to entries

Wmile - rowbury FTW, kampf, lauren johnson, stephanie garcia and heidi see. garcia just ran 4:28 against conley and kate grace, so i assume she's hungry for another sub-4:30 race. i'll call rowbury 4:28

M3000 - g. heath, lawi lalang, curtin, atchoo, drew hunter, and chris derrick's little brother mark. hopefully hunter can get behind some of the collegiates on 7:59 pace. i think lalang could beat heath but totally depends on the race. havent seen much from lawi recently and we know heath is in good XC shape. 7:47 winning time from lawi or garrett.

W3000 is a bunch of mid-d ladies going up. mackey, gallagher, schneider, j tonn, plus alexi pappas. probably gonna be a 9:05 race, mackey FTW.

M60mH, can eaton beat the pro hurdlers? aleec harris, j rich, d oliver. hurdlers usually take a lot of time to get the form down, but eaton's a freak so i'm voting eaton FTW. 7.60

Nice summary of your predictions, Reed

I'm guessing these athletes will want to get the indoor world standard out of the way so my bet would be that the men's 800, mile and the women's 3k will be a bit faster

Keep in mind with time predictions that it is a 200m flat track. Fast for a flat, but still. We won't be seeing anything nuts time-wise.

The world indoor qualifying times aren't crazy fast and Rowbury did run 4:22 on the same track last year so I think the standards are within grasp if the runners go for it.

I have no idea why these runners would come and run on a flat 200m track. Times will not be faster than 1:48, 2:02, 3:56, 4:30 (Rowbury will but only because she is top 5 in the world), 9:00, and 7:53.

Great facility. Well-run meet. RD is a great guy who takes care of the athletes. Good competition.

Can anyone post live splits of the distance races. It would be much appreciated

Live splits would be great

Would also appreciate splits and results please

Results are being posted here:

Come live chat the splits. You will be adored, and you'll have fun, too.

Men's 3000m should be almost over by now. How is Drew doing?

Ok, guessing that it's over now. How did everybody do.

Sick updates

I predict that no one will contribute to this thread.

Watching on Runnerspace but the quality isn't great. Only 432p...:(.
