What to Watch!

We'll have to see who is still running by the time this race comes around but there are plenty of talented names in here. The top two seeds squared off in the Group 3 race already with Julia Guerra and Alyssa Aldridge going 1-2. Aldridge is currently ranked NJ#1 with a converted mile of 10:38.53c from earlier this season. Halvorsen, Gess, Suss, and Rancan are all dangerous here and Goria and Martin could always sneak up front.

Prediction!

Julia Guerra showed last week that she is a force to be reckoned with in the 3200m. Her kick even made it to the MileSplit Kick of the Week poll. We'll have to see if she can apply that once again this weekend. Winning time 11:45.
