This may be the last distance meet before the OT and it doesn't look like it will answer many of the lingering questions:
*Who's hurt (Jager, Houlihan, Chelimo, Kipchirchir)?
*Who's coming back from injury or protecting a niggle (Lomong, Simpson, Quigley, Rowbury, Huddle)?
But most importantly, who is focusing on what?
Purrier - 1500 seems to be it and she looks ready
Houlihan - 1500/5000?
Grace - 800 or 1500?
Simpson, Rowbury - 5000?
Schneider, Schweizer, Cranny, Sisson, Infeld - 5 and 10?
Hocker, Teare - 15/5?
Lomong, Chelimo, Kinkaid, E Bor - 5/10?
The only one of the bunch was seems clear and ready is Grant Fisher, whom I suspect will run the 10 and then probably the 5 also and may be the fave in both.
