[Marlow]

Perusing the US Men’s Lists (eTN 01 ’13), some highs and lows:

800 – 6 sub-1:45, 11 sub-1:46
1500 – 7 (!) sub-3:35, 12 sub-3:36!
Steeple – 5 sub-8:22
5000 – 10 sub-13:21
10000 – 8 sub-27:45
Mar – 10 sub 2:12
110H – 8 sub-13.20
SP – 9 over 68’

All the distances are up in depth.

Lows

So sad. With the "A" moving to 66m (216'6") the US is looking at >3 male discus throwers in Moscow unless they all go to Hawaii; and even then maybe not.

Oh, and I just remembered that the 'American' bPV HSR is now held by a Canadian - oh, the humanity!

Seems like the decathlon was probably a "high".

Not at all. After our big two, it was pretty grim, depth-wise - hence our lack of a third OG team-member).
