We're back for the Reebok Grand Prix today, and I've made my picks. Let's hope my team doesn't get done in by the women like last time and that I take the much-deserved title of "LOTB Pick-N-Win Contest Champion". Without further ado, my picks:
Men's Events
100m - Usain Bolt (that's right, I'm not picking Tyson Gay.)
200m - Wallace Spearmon
400m - Derrick Brew
800m - Khadevis (it's time he went by one name)
1500m - Jon Rankin (he told me he was running the 800...but he's listed here.)
Steeple - Anthony Famiglietti
5000m - Ali Abdosh
110m hurdles - Liu Xiang (刘翔是最好)
400m hurdles - Kerron Clement (but I bet Brandon Johnson takes the "I won the race to half-way" title - Go Bruins!)
Shot Put - Reese Hoffa
Discus - John Godina (Go Bruins!)
Women's Events
100m - Veronica Campbell (a Jamaican sweep)
200m - Lauryn Williams
400m - Sanya Richards
800m - Nicole Teter
1500m - Mestawot Tadesse (sounds fast to me...)
5000m - Lauren Fleshman (I hope she's been trainin', 'cause she hasn't been bloggin')
400m Hurdles - Sheena Johnson (Go Bruins!)
Pole Vault - Jenn Stuczynski
Discus - Suzy Powell (Go Bruins!)
Hammer - Kamila Skolimowska (when in doubt, go with consonants)
Reminder: points are awarded based on how high your pick places in the meet. 1st = 10 points, 2nd = 8, 3rd = 6, 4th = 4, 5th = 2, 6th = 1. Be sure to tune in tonight to ESPN2 from 8-10pm (EDT) and tomorrow to CBS from 1:30-2:30pm to catch all the action!
