      • good question

        I stopped doing the prediction contests because I had this permanent division between who I picked for the win and who I wanted to win. I was never happy.

        So who am I rooting for?

        Huddle, Cain, Abbey D, Sowinsky, montano, Ajee

        basically the people I am confident aren't doping

      • Robby Andrews - I have been following him since his HS days. He is the most exciting runner to watch in my opinion as you can never underestimate that kick.

        Mary Cain - I've also been following her since her early HS days when I saw her run the anchor leg on her HS 4 x 800m team in 2:03 as a freshman. It doesn't look like she can make the team with her current performances but the talent is there and she just might surprise us.

        Maggie Vessey - She closes as well as anyone. She has been running consistent 2:00's for the past couple of years. If the race sets up right for her, this could be the year that she goes back down under 2:00 and makes the team.

      • I'm hoping that Leah O'Connor makes it in the steeple.

        +1 on cheering for a good showing from Brandon Hudgins. He went to a rival high school and everyone in the area is so happy for him and how much he's overcome to make the Trials.

      • Manzano is my favorite runner so I am always rooting for him.
        But he has had more than his share of success and would be OK with someone else getting a shot.

        I'm also pulling for Jordan McNamara if a spot opens.
