VISA USATF Fantasy Outdoor Game

It was on the front page a couple days ago. http://www.trackandfieldnews.com/displa ... p?id=30693

Reminder it is starting earlier than last year with the events from Drake and Penn now included.

I'm not feeling the relays. It's hard to get excited about USA Red vs. USA Blue. Who knows what the line-ups will be by they time the starter shoots the gun.

Just in case anyone besides Marlow and I are playing the game, the start lists for Drake are very incomplete for several events. Don't get in a hurry to pick off the USATF list just yet.

There are tentative US line ups posted for 5 of 6 of the US versus the World relay events at http://www.usatf.org/events/2009/VisaCh ... y/news.asp

I noted that Tommy Skipper has been added to Drake PV field and in clarifying that this would be his season debut I discovered what a woeful '08 he endured.

He no-heighted in 7 of his last 10 meets, including the OT.

Interesting - his most likely NH was actually a competition where he made the opening height -- 19 feet. He then passed and was done.

Reminder to anyone playing the USATF game. The start lists for Adidas which were just updated recently by USATF are already out of date. Expect more updates to the USATF site before Saturday.

The adidas website is current as of about an hour ago. Ejigu is out of the women's 5000. USATF will update their site as soon as possible.

Walt, Any chance we might get actual published start lists (with heats and lane assignments) any time before the meet starts. It would be very interesting to see the lane assignments in a couple of the races.
