2I

I have no idea what kind of shape they are in now but I'd go with

1. Matusak

2. Ghebray

3. Tesfa

Bumbalough's not competing.

I'll go with Barnicle to win.

Kenny Cormier is running like a man late for a really good dinner at a restaurant closing in less than 10 minutes. He's the best distance runner from Arizona in decades. And he's an equally good person. Alex Mason from Brophy in Arizona got tripped up last year or would have been a factor in the seeded race. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in the top three. There's always a strong field here in the 2 mile, but if Kenny runs a smart race, he should be right there. His signature finish is to make up huge ground in the last 800. He's got pretty good 800 speed, so he's surprised a lot of runner.

what is kenny's 800m PR?

I just dont feel like this field is deep enough. i would be surprised if there were 2 under 9 minutes

Do winners at Arcadia still get a wrist watch or did they change that. Mine from 86' doesn't keep time anymore!

Ghebray 8:44

Tesfa 8:49

Bumbie 8:51

whoops sorry about my comment on 2 going sub 9

didnt realize that more go under

but still this year is not as deep

Acosta, Barnicle, Barnes or Cormier

It will be close between Cormier and Barnicle since Bumbalough isnt competing.

Barnicle around 8:51.5 should be about right.

Cormier at 8:58.

If Barnicle defeats Cormier I will write these words: I'm a mutton head, who wouldn't know a 2-miler from a cornish game hen." What are you willing to write if Cormier defeats Barnicle?

how about-

"I learned to always bet on blonde guys from the desert wearing sunglasses at night.

Fair enough. We're on.

I believe Cormier will run the mile about 3 hrs before the 2 mile... he was able to accomplish this feat at NIKE Indoor to the amazement of many..... this will be even more difficult.. but the kid is good... real good..

But in that mile you have:

Cormier

Mark Matusak

Brandon Bethke

That's the real race.

barnes in 8:52

Mile: Bethke 4:07

Cormier 4:09

Matusak 4:09

Bethke has a nasty kick

2-mile: Bumbalough 8:44

Barnicle 8:47

Cormier 8:48

Gebhray 8:51

I'm guessing Bumbi will move w/ 600 to go & noone will be able to hang

bumbi's not runnin dude
