How do you suggest that weakness be remedied??

How about extinction?

that's an idiotic comment. i'm trying to be constructive and you're being a jerk. why not just do away w/ the tj, which we suck at too?

Joining walking events to NCAA competition could help.

Why should a Portuguese fan from an internet message board feel responsible for fixing the problems of US walkers?

Vaill once more and walking events in US still very weak. Vaill has B standard and surely will be the only US athlete in 20KMW.

Wow, totally missed that one! :x :x

Vaill & Dow will both be looking for the A standard. Expect them to work together as a team as long as possible, trying to make it as short a race as possible. After that, its anyone's guess. Michta & Login are the favorites to get the 3rd slot but both will be far behind the leaders. No one else in the field is a contender.
