Rock withdrew from the Wisconsin Twilight meet this last weekend due to injury - it might be minor and not something to trust to windy, mid-50s weather.

Women's 200 looks great. In the Men's 200 I'm worried about "X-Man." Reportedly he withdrew from Florida R in early April because of hamstring issues, then ran a different section from Merritt & Nixon at 200 the week before PennR.

IF he wins in 19.8x I will be wrong, but I hope that he runs 400 at USAT&F. After his injuries running 200s at nationals in 2007 & 2008, I hope that it isn't "Three Strikes and You're Out!"

Meeting will be held May 16 in Carson

19.8x is pretty fast & I'm not sure if anyone (maybe Merritt) is ready to run that fast at Carson. Anytime you have surgery it's a concern & I'm sure X is having ups & downs with the ankle. I think Wallace may be in the same boat.

Carter's best adidas time is 20,26 from 2007 - his non-relay season opener. He was handily dispatched by Spearmon (19,91), Merritt (19,98) and Crawford (20,21). Stretching to 19,8 on his second go-around doesn't seem plausible despite his personal best.

The X-Man seems to be becoming the X-Factor in USA track. We all agree he is immense potential, but whether he'll

a. drop a huge time
or
b. run a mediocre time
or
c. get injured

always seems up in the air. Makes for NASCAR type excitement (win, crash, or spin-out), but is giving me heart-burn! I'm still a big fan and now I'll cheer extra hard for Louise.

Men's 1500: Lagat, Lamong (where has he been?), Solares, Manzano. And Krummenacker building strength or changing focus?

[jamaicantrackfan]

I am disappointed that the top Jamaicans wont be there.

No Bolt, Asafa, Veronica, Kerron Stewart, Fraser, etc.

[gh]

not enough adidas wearers?

True but there is nothing preventing a Nike or a Puma athlete from running there I think.

When did Novlene switch from Jamaica to the USA?

Looks to be an interesting meet, there are some interesting match-ups.
