With next year being a non-championship year, Who do you see stepping up their games in the 2 events. We all know Tyson Gay is by far the best we have at both. Let's take a look at a few runners.
Walter Dix: This guy has the tools to be the 2nd best in the 100. He is a hell of 200 meter runner too. I expect Dix to be healthy and back next year.
Ivory Williams : This guy really came on in Europe early and has the ability to challenge Dix and Mike Rodgers if he gets better and stays consisitent.
Mike Rodgers: He w a 60 meter specialists, but has really progressed well. I could see some sub 9.90 times in his near future if he continues to be consistent.
Xavier Carter: Here is the guy i think is the x-Factor,. He is big, strong and has great turnover. When this guy is healthy he is a threat to run really fast , especially in the 200. He needs to decide is he a 100/200 man or a 200/400 man.
Rae Edwards: I don't know about him. I just don't see him being better than the guys above.
Travis Padgett: I think he is a great 60 meter guy, but i keep seeing a young Leonard Scott when i see this guy.
Leroy Dixon and Rodney Martin: These guys always seem like they are relay alternates.
Terrence Trammell: Yeah he is a hurdler, however he did a great job this summer on some of his leadoff legs. Makes you wonder could he be sub 10.00 with more concentration on 100 / 200 races?
Trindon Holliday: Another young guy who is a great starter. Will football retard his development as a sprinter.
Wallace Spearmon: Terrible starter, but has gone sub 10. before. He will always be a outstanding 200 meter guy. Will he try to do more 400's or more 100/200's next year?
Shawn Crawford: Consumate big meet 200 meter runner. Good curve runner, but his straight times have been very average lately.
Darvis Patton: Same as Crawford and he has gotten alot better at the 100.
Charles Clark: Young guy who has a future at the 2, but will he improve?
Lashawn Merritt: Another wild card at 200. Has a few sub 20's already. He is striclty a 200/ 400 man, would like to see him run a 4x100 leg at Penn maybe.
Justin Gatlin: Wow ! Here is the real x factor . Yes he was suspended for banned substances, but if this guy is any where close to what he was he will vault past all the rest with the exception of Tyson Gay.
What are all your thoughts and who do you think will emerge and get better. Remember these are many of the guys who would vy for the 4x100 relay spots.
