The men's 800 continues to be totally unpredictable.

Andrew Wheating (4th in 800 in 1:47.33), David Torrence (8th in 1:48.55) and Kim Smith (4th in 5k in 15:32.10) were among the big names who raced in Concord, Mass., on Thursday night as a ton of athletes chased Olympic Trials standards in the 800, mile and 5,000.

A big week in track and field with Stanford, Drake, Penn and a lot more.

Men's 800 features Duane Solomon, Brandon Johnson, former NCAA champ Edward Kemboi, Lopez Lomong, Ryan Martin, Eliud Rutto and David Torrence while the women's has Roesler, Molly Ludlow, Oregon's Raevyn Rogers, former NCAA 1500 champ Shelby Houlihan. Vashti Cunningham makes her pro debut in the HJ, Allyson Felix highlights the sprints.

Video interviews from the Camel City meet.

Gerry Lindgren‘s American indoor high school record had stood since 1964 and is finally gone thanks toDrew Hunter running 7:59.33 in a race won by the hotGarrett Heath. Matt Centrowitz won the mile and dabbed for Carolina fans as Shannon Rowbury got another win at the Camel City Elite meet.

We feel very confident in predicting one thing about the 800s. Ajee Wilson and Boris Berian are going to Worlds. After that, it's going to be a lot of fun seeing what happens.

After some recent struggles, can Nick Symmonds return to form? What about Galen Rupp, Cam Levins and the NOP? Are former NCAA stars Andrew Wheating and Robby Andrews back? The highlight is an incredibly deep 1,500 which contains former NCAA champs Wheating, Andrews, Leo Manzano, Mac Fleet, Nate Brannen and a slew of others.

Kenya's Ferguson Rotich (47.84 first 400 on 800 leg) and Timothy Cheruiyot (51.96 first 400 on 1,600 leg) ran like mad men while the quartet of Kyle Merber, Brycen Spratling, Brandon Johnson and Ben Blankenship (3:51.24 anchor) ran superbly to get the win and the world record in a race like no other.

The US has a shot for gold but so does Australia, Germany and Poland.

The DMRs will be Andrew Wheating, Kyle Merber, Ben Blankenship, Brandon Johnson and Treniere Moser, Shannon Rowbury, Ajee Wilson, Gabe Grunewald.

Johnson was the talk of US track in 2013 but was nowhere to be seen in 2014 as a shift from 50 to 60 mpw to 80 to 90 mpw backfired. Before his season opener at the Camel City Elite Meet in Winston-Salem, N.C. on Saturday, Johnson talks about what it's like to room with Dathan Ritzenhein, his coaching change to an Olympic gold medalist and how his training has been going "awesome."

The US is led by the best guy in the field on paper, 1:42.72 man Duane Solomon. Kenya is led by a 17-year old who has never raced on the pro circuit and only broken 1:48 twice in his life. Big USA advantage, right? Think again. *MB: Can the US win gold? *MB: Is this the most entertaining 800 ever run?

American Erik Sowinski has a great opportunity with the best 800m SB in the field.
