Re: 2009 USATF: mTJ

Probably the most up-in-the-air event on the USATF program...I'm going with Bell, Davis, and Sharif

Re: 2009 USATF: mTJ

Bell
Roulhac
Davis

Has Davis even jumped this year? :?

[Powell]

For some reason, the USATF site only lists the results after 3 rounds. How did it end?

[26mi235]

Was there some Bermuda Triangle accounting for that two-foot gap between 4th and the rest? (well, there was another at the top!).

[Daisy]

What is Bell's PR this season? Seems well out of contention here? Or was he injured?

Not so fast. Jenkins still needs a legal B qualifier (16.65).

[paulthefan]

Very exciting to see Roulhac have a big jump. This kid is put together. Might this be the year for the US get get back to the top of the TJ? Who is he training under. He has the look physically to go even further.

Baluumba also doesn't yet have a B qualifier, but 5th-place Kenta Bell does have a B (from 2008), so today he'd be on the team. But Jenkins-Balumba have over a month left to change that

[Moura]

My pick:

Roulhac
Davis
Bell

Really I was not very confident on my picks in Davis and Bell. Only their experience took me to pick on them. Bell failed, Davis was reasonable.
In WC, I think US will have no athlete in final. Roulhac has talent, but I think he won´t reach the final as this year seems a good year for TJ worldwide and there are several athletes with more experience and better PB.

[26mi235]

But the Final is only the top 12, and there are not that many 17+m guys out there (and four of his jumps were over that and the other two not far behind) and fewer 57+ types. Furthermore, he had no foul jumps, which increases the likelihood that he will hit a good one in a 3-jump Preliminary round. I think that is odds of getting to the final 8 are not that bad, either.
