Prefontelklasse.

Isn't mojo going to this event? Nice that she'll be able to cheer for Perdita Felicien. I remember her being gutted after The Fall.

yes she is...:-)

Awesome fields.

I think the men's hurdles is the one I am most excited about. Seeing Liu in particular.

The 400H field is randomly awesome. Maybe 4 (or more) sub 48 (if the winds behave). DT pretty fine, as well.

I wouldn't bet the ranch on Olsson in the TJ (see front page story from yesterday).

Prefontklasse indeed! (damn, emoticons still out of commission :-( )

In the first post it said the "The fields so far". This could mean "other athletes will be added" as well as imply "this is not all the events".

Edit: I just checked for you:

Note that Dragila was in Modesto last weekend, but her ongoing ankle problem prevented her from competing.
