The contest is live:
http://www.letsrun.com/news/2016/02/200016-lrc-running-warehouse-marathon-trials-prediction-contest/
and Scott Bauhs, the guy who coordinates all the contests between Running Warehouse and LetsRun.com, has got a shot of making the team.
If you see any errors let me know. We attempted to put the men's marathon qualifiers and men under 1:03 for a half and the women under 2:40 and the top entries with half times.
Thank you

vail too. I always hate when I pick someone in these who ends up not even running or dropping out early with an injury.
That is two changes for me
so far ;)

With the heat creeping up,this puts another group of athletes in the hunt.
My spoiler pick, Ward makes the team, heat slows the run away pace that you might have had on a cooler day...

To add to this, Ward ran his marathon PR in LA last year in a hot year and last beat all US marathon elites in the US 20k, and 25k championships in 2015 with the exception of Rupp& Meb as they did not run either of those events.
I find this year marathon trials boring? Is it just me? OK, Rupp is running which shakes things up with the unknown factor in his first marathon. But the rest of the field is...blah. And how does running a fast half marathon make you a marathoner? And the women, who cares

you're alone. The rest of us are excited.
Whens the deadline for entries into the contest?
Why can't I predict a sub 2 hour marathon? In this day and age it should be an option!
Should be a great race and an interesting contest - once it quits kicking me out for an incorrect password despite being correct.

Yea, for the record I still have this problem with my current account so I just made a new account (habs2) for letsrun contests and it works then. Seems kinda weird though.

I like how you picked Eggleston to make the team (and likewise for Wade on the women's side); not a lot of fan-fare for someone whose run as fast as he has. I think there's basically 0% that Rupp places 4th though; if things aren't looking great for him I figure he'll just drop out. Just wish there was a way to see the finishing times that people have picked too.
The only time an American ran sub 2:05 he got all the testosterone sucked out of him!!

Laura Thweatt 2:28 is not in the drop down
Kim Conley 2nd quickest halfer is not in the drop down
Neither Thweatt nor Conley is running.

3. Rupp
