Gay in 1st is presuming he might do all rounds? My guess he's going to do blast one in round 1 or 2, then withdraw.

depending how he does in the 1st round will let us know how he "feels" about doing the next round, but don't expect him in the final.

My pick (I think Gay will not run the final)

Dix
Rogers
Padgett

[knite]

That 3rd spot is gonna be a battle between Padgett, Patton, Holliday and Edwards.

Gimme Patton.

Gimme Patton.

Especially given the way that he ran that 100m's at teh JAM nationals and then came back for the 200m's and shut down like 30m's from the line! :shock:

[texas_speed]

Actually, I was picking Patton for 3rd if Tyson was in the final.

Sans Tyson:

Dix
Patton
Rodgers

So is Dix healthy or not???

[texas_speed]

Great question...latest reports were he wasn't. But then again many said he wasn't still 100% last year at this time.

He knows how to run with injuries/coming off injuries. If he's healthy, he wins it (with no Tyson in the finals). If he's not, it gets a little more interesting.

He certainly looked healthy in Eugene. The question is: is he rusty?

The rounds might actually help Dix.

[polevaultpower]

I have to pick Mike Rodgers for the win

En Vogue.

I agree.

But Dix makes him earn it.
