Here are a few Monaco Predictions
Evan Jager 1st American under 8 minutes in the Steeple
Coburn 1st American Woman sub 9 minutes in Steeple
Jakob Ingebrightsen 3:32.9 in 1500 and beats Centro who runs 3:33
Semenya 1:52.9 in 800 WR
Ajee Wilson breaks her own AR
Always a great meet with fast times.

I think the board would explode if that happened, but no. If he's not too tired from his double, he's good for a 3:33-4. -
I don't think Jager or Coburn or Semenya are going to run the times stated.

I think it would be great for Jager to break 8, as he has been so close multiple times.
I think Coburn needs one more race this season to break 9 (I think she'll run 9:02.xx in Monaco).
Jakob had a great 5k PR a few days ago, so he is clearly in shape. I could see 3:33.
Caster runs 1:54.5 solo, I think if she goes out in 55.high, the WR will be gone.
I was surprised at Ajee's 4:05 1500m, indicating that she has more strength than I thought. I'll give her a 70% shot at the AR. -

Filip may get close to that. He's extremely good. Clearly top 3 in the world right now. -

More wishlist than prediction. -
Timmy C will break 3:28
-

I don't think so. -
^ What I mean is, I don't think he's in that kind of shape.
-
I think Jakob is good for at least a 3:32 if he's feeling good. He closed the last last 1km of a fast 5000 at 3:36 pace.
Jager doesn't break 8, I pick him 3rd in 8:05
Coburn breaks 9
Timothy runs 3:28 -
The Monaco track is slightly short(396.13m). That almost 1% shortness means someone in 3:28 shape will look like they've run a wr on this track.

Evidence? -
Everybody who ran there could never match there times anywhere else. Bekele would literally run a sub 26 10,000m if he ran here. It is the fastest track in the world. I don't know what material they use in the track.
-
When Jager fell a couple years back, I had a bad feeling that he just ran a lifetime PR. I don't think he breaks 8 in Monaco or ever. Coburn won't break 9 this weekend, but maybe later.
The 800 for Caster and Ajee are reasonable, but I don't think either will happen.
Jakob running sub 333 seems most likely. -
We are an American company who installed the track. We assumed it was supposed to be 440 yards so it is actually longer than 400 meters.
