Re: London DL—mSP

Cantwell already has DL overall clinched; can he stay undefeated and remain a top contender for AOY?

Re: London DL—mSP

Yes, he can.

Re: London DL—mSP

The meet site has the two events reversed; even though this is listed for today, it's the women's that was contested.

There goes Cantwell's perfect season. Wonder if a wet circle was a problem? (athough it's not as if he ended up foul-plagued)

What's up with Armstrong? He was over 21m every meet at the start of the year. Since he came back and did a few meets in Canada, he's been struggling.

At the beginning of the year the Canadian and American dollars were at par; now the looney is only worth 95% :mrgreen:

He caught a minor version of the Whiting disease (not the Wheating one; note how vastly different the post-college success of these two dominant collegians has been).

Two more rounds and I think Christian would have won it.

DH talked to Dylan in TO and he was back in a period of heavy training and was feeling sore and tired. Not sure if that is still the case.
I know the CWG are a big focus of his.
