About time for some predictions. The 800 should be interesting, a lot of the guys that were supposed to break out this year didn't. Outdoor's amazingly fast race went: lekote, burley, joseph, johnson, brannen, sylvester. Joseph is running 1:52, johnson 1:50 and sylvester is out. Lekote is back, but he was beaten at SEC by Etoot. It looked like he was trying to work on his kick. Brannen is fast, and he ran 1:46 flat after a stress fracture. Burley was surprisingly last year, but he hasn't run in a fast meet, or even at all, for about two months. i heard that he was considering not running because he has been real sick, mono or something. My prediction, Lekote realizes he can't kick and hammers the pace and the only ones who are strong enough (milage) to hang are Etoot and Brannen. I say Lekote edges a hard closing brannen and etoot is third. Burley has too fight for fourth with everyone else.
Lekote 1:46.11
Brannen 1.46.29
Etoot 1.46.99
Burley 1.47.6
Fred Sharp 1.47.61 (didn't he graduate high school in the 80's)
Joseph Lee 1.48.1
Jackson Langat (who?)1.48.4
Toby Henkels 1.48.8
