For the 3000m it will be a good race between a lot of guys - Woodfine (if he runs) - Degroot - Esselink - Hosier - De vries - Proudfoot
any early predictions for the 800m?

Its hard to say for the 800m right now. It depends if any of the distance guys drop down to do some fast stuff.

How about Rob Denault sr. 1500m? Only first yr sr, but since winning in jr. OFSAA record time in 2009 he has only improved and he's a very smart racer. Maybe not gold, but surely a factor and podium contendor.

Senior Boys 800m 1. -Kahmall McCabe returns with a vengence for yet another ofsaa medal, this time he wants Gold. 2. -Dantae Chance Runs stride for stride with McCabe but falls short in last 200m. 3. -BJ Cunliffe runs in steady for the bronze.

in the 800m i think it will be BJ. if he finishes FTW and in 2nd Robbie Denault if he runs it. he has run 1:55. and also Kyle Grieve and Mohamed Souleiman and Chris Miedema and (James Denny? ) 1500; Eric Dillon will win with a photo finish for 2nd between Merid Seleshi and Robbie Denault (Denault did out dive him at youth nat's) and also Evan Esselink, Kyle Grieve, Xavier King. 3000; if Woodfine runs then he should win, but just cuz he won OFSAA XC doesn't mean that he is the best out there, Degroot's pre-OFSAA time would have won him OFSAA if he didn't have the flu at OFSAA. so i think that Woodfine should win the 3km but will have to fight off Degroot, Hosier, King, Smith, Dillon, Esselink, and Zain Ahmed. 2000m Steeplechase; might be the best steeple race OFSAA has ever seen. it WILL be super fast with 4 runners that are more then able to run 5:49. 1) Jordan Collison 2) Andrew Degroot 3) Daryl Smith 4) Chris Dulhanty Not in that order but thats the top 4 and nobody else has a chance. not even Balestrini.

I've heard from some sources that Balestrini hasn't ran since ofsaa xc, mostly due to a foot injury that he suffered from for most of the season, likely has to have surgery on it. Also he's taken to the pool, and swims basically everyday. So don't fully count him out, but he has a ways to go to get back to the kind of shape to be able to be up there with the other top steeple guys.

As an alumni I was hoping that Ofsaa XC was the wake up call the guys at Leger needed. They do some pretty good work at that school and have some talented athletes but if you aren't beating the best runners in Ropsaa then you haven't a hope of making a final at Ofsaa. The last thing you should be doing is posting predictions for your teammates on TNF. Lessons you should have learned from what happened at OFSAA: If you don't top 5 at Pre-Ofsaa XC as a team, you probably don't have a shot at an Ofsaa Team medal (let alone a ribbon). Racing the Golden Horseshoe XC Series is great for getting free gear from FootTools but if you don't race Highland or Notre Dame Burlington, then you are fooling yourself into thinking that you are a lot better team than you actually are. In their defense, its not the athletes who pick which races to run. If you have a team with talent and you want them to improve, as a coach you have to challenge them, and expose them to the caliber of athlete that you hope they will become. My reason for making this statement, is that there is quite a bit of BS getting talked about on tnf threads from Rismay, Bright and Hamilton. (In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Chance and Pimentel had tnf accounts too.) My advice is that you spend less time thinking about predictions and posting on ofsaa predictions and spend more time running. If I were a betting man, I would say that Woodfine is probably not a poster on any of these Ofsaa threads, let alone a frequent poster on this board. As seniors I would suggest you shake the "Ofsaa Syndrome". There is lots of running to do in this lifetime and Ofsaa is just the tip of the iceberg. Spend some time looking at the CIS rankings on sportingcanada.com in mid-January and you might begin to question how hard you really train. Please think of this as advice and not a reprimand. Think big and run the miles and good things will happen. McCabe and Chance have talent but I'm not sure they are doing the work. It took about a 1:50 to win SB Ofsaa 800m last year and I would expect the same this year.

do you understand how stupid this sounds, what previous races the freakin event is 7 months away. I mean the previous races from the day before you dumbass What makes you think that doing all three (800/1500/3000) would be on the cards for this year for Kichuk? The Jnr 3000m is the next event on the OFSAA schedule (~1hr after the 800m final). Last year he had 2hrs to recover, and it was only midget - where no one knows how to run a 3000m yet. Assuming he does the 800m (since his Dad was an 800m guy and OFSAA champion) this rules out the 3000m, unless this is the absolute end of his season. He would be more beatable in the 3000m this year anyway, so why even bother. It's not like 1.59 should be even close to winning a medal in the Junior 800m, so it's a lot tougher task than it was last year. Jama won't be doing the 3000m either - I hear he wants to run a faster 800m this year. In fact, unless you are a distance stud (like Mo Ahmed) you would be better served at this age running the 800m over the 3000m, if you have a choice - i.e. if there is little difference between your 800m and 3000m relative performances, and body type allows (unlike Seb Coe for example, who was physically immature at these ages). Heck even JP Mallette (3000m M/J/S champ) moved down to 800m last year, as did J.Rae the year before (after running 3000m at OFSAA through G10 - 4th in 8.48). Maybe that's why they both ran 3.45 for 1500m at OFSAA -amongst the top few times EVER at the meet (only Kevin Sullivan and Dave Reid had run under 3.46 before, if memory serves).

personally I don't think that any records for jr/sr boys 8 and up will be touched but maybe Ryan slieman will be able to break the mb 3000 record if he grows over the winter and trains like crazy without getting injured
the mg field of phelan, hawthorn and Hillary stafford most likely won't but have a shot at some records because with a field of 3 excellent runners they will push each other
watch out for stephanie rigg for jr girls she's fast... don't know about sr girls
these people probably wont break any records but if there are records to be broken this year it will be by them, other than that the only records that I can see being broken are the sprint, hurdles and field events

But to trash runners on here just because you don't know who they are is pretty classless, but it's typical TNF behaviour.

I'm not saying he has to grow to still win ofsaa for his division I'm saying that he will have to grow if he wants to break ofsaa records (if he was a little bit bigger he would be much faster, he's fast anyways though)

Keep training, Cheers.
