And I'm not talking just about the expected 90+ temperatures!
NOP's Chief "I;m innocent, HE's not!" technician, Alberto Salazar finally released his gossip-ridden Manifesto yesterday, not only calling THE most honest woman in our sport (Kara Goucher)a LIAR, but by doing that (and so much MORE filthy shit!), he despoiled MY 71st Birthday celebration.!
Unforgivable!
But I'm here to Preview the "dual" meet, as both the Seniors and the Juniors will go at it over the next 4 days.
I'll tell you which MEET Records might be broken.
I'll list the favorites in each event, even heat by heat, flight by flight.
I'll list the Meet Records.
And I'll tell you who's NOT in Eugene, and what it might mean.
First, which MEET Records might be broken?
Men
Most probable are the 100 (9.84), 3000SC (8:17.27), SP (72-10.75).
Next in line, but far less likely, are the 800 (1:43.27), 1500 (3:34.32), HJ (7-9.25), TJ (58-4.50).
Might as well forget the 200 (19.62), 400 (43.66), 5000 (13:12.76), 10000 (27:34.4), 110H (12.93), 400H (47.03), LJ (28-10.25), PV (19-9), DT (233-9), JT (299-6), HT (270-8), Dec (8844W).

That's the Senior meet.
Now we'll take a much briefer look at the Men's side of the Junior USATF.
MEET Records, and their chances of being broken.
Most probable are the 1500 (3:42.8), 3000SC (8:48.2), 5000 (13:55.7), 800 (1:47.45)
Far less likely are the 200 (20.29), PV (18-2).
Practically zero chance of going down are the 100 (10.00), 400 (45.01), 10000 (29:11.2), 110H (13.23), 400H (49.28), HJ (7-5.25), LJ (26-9.75), TJ (55-2.75), Dec (8016)
I didn't even consider the SP, DT, JT, and HT, as I believe they use "Junior" weights. I only know about (or care about) weights used in US High Schools.
Some of the featured athletes are:
100 Ryan Clark, Noah Lyles
200 Lyles, Clark, Michael Norman
800 Myles Marshall, Donavan Btazier
1500 Andrew Hunter, Blake Haney, Grant Fisher, Matt Maton
5000 Maton, C Geberkidane, Levi Thomet
10000 Geberkidane
3000SC Bailey Roth
110H Grant Holloway, Chad Zallow
400H Ken Solomon
HJ Randall Cunningham
LJ Nate Moore, Holloway, KeAndre Bates
TJ Bates, Moore
PV Paulo Benavides, Deakin Volz
SP Matt Katnik, Willie Morrison
HT Bobby Colantonio, Adam Kelly
Dec Harrison Williams
If Fisher and Maton DO meet, there could be a MAJOR drop in the Meet Record!
And will Maton REALLY double in the 5000?
What can a 3:59.38 Miler run?
The 100 and 200 should be FAST....and competitive!
I'll have the Women's Preview up in 2 or 3 hours!
And I'll tell you who's NOT in Eugene, and what it might mean.
