However, I am heart set on setting up a Canada's Sexiest Runners thread. It's on. You're going to outwrite me? We'll just see about that. I'm gonna let you in on a lil' secret. Know how people say Shakespeare didn't his own plays? Well they're right; I did. And people are still reading them for crying out loud. Jeez. You know Hamlet right? Of course you do. Wrote that s*** in one fortnight. I owed some peeps some money, know what I'm sayin'? I gotta get my pay son.

That makes sense... thought the old 'pirates as deus ex machina' trick was a bit weak.

ya, but i do think that if alex ran the 3000 he could give sleiman a run for his money, but with alex having P.B's of 4:11 and 1:59 i dout he will do anything other than the 1500 and the 800

It seems like the midget boys have a very strong year in the 800,1500 and 3000. The times so far have been very fast...there will be some very exciting races at ofsaa.

really though sleiman should keep the 800, he still won at the prep meet last thursday For most runners capable of winning the 1500m at OFSAA, winning their local 800m and 3000m race is a given. It is ok for fast runners to triple at their local meets where they can manage it easily but when it comes to regionals and OFSAA all you do when you try to triple is set yourself up for failure. I've seen a few really talented and fast people attempt it (Richard Charette in his second year as a midget springs to mind back in 1983ish) and even with a third day at OFSAA now, that 800 heat/final combined with a 3k on Saturday makes it so hard unless your are capable of being a long way in front of your competition. I can't remember the name of the runner, but there was another kid back around 1994 or so that tried as a second year midget and the triple attempt resulted in blow ups in the 3k and the 800m final so the result was no medals in either. I would expect that Sleiman's coach is smart enough that he won't attempt the triple when it matters.

At the WECSSA all comers this week Ryan only ran 2:10 running against/with the seniors.
I also don't think Alex Freemantle can run a 3000m in the same range as his 1500 judging from what he did in XC if I remember correctly he was not in the mix at all ( over 100th and 3+ min out)

i agree about not running three events...although we can't forget that Eamonn Kichuk was able to win all three last year at OFSAA

His year was not as stacked as the midgets are this year. This is one of the deepest, best years I can remember in a while. Every race at OFSAA is going to be fast with no sure things for anybody.

All you have to do is look at the MB 1500 and see the depth of guys running between 4:11 and 4:15. If there was one guy who was putting in 4:05 or so, then they might be able to triple since they could coast at least one race but to win three you have to be very much better than everyone else.

That could be, I was just going by the results.
As for tripling there have been lots of guys good at 8/15 but couldn't carry through at the same level over 3000 just as there are guys who can run good 3sand 15s but not 800s. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But again I think a triple this year would be a crazy thing to attempt. Some of these guys could have tried it in others years but not this one.

I don't see anyone beating Alex F. in MB800/1500. Believe it or not this is his first outdoor track season so he's just getting the feel for it and getting to know his competition. The races this week at the CC meet were his first ever at these distances outdoors.

Mb 800- Alex, or Liam Wilson. 1500- toss up between Alex, Messina, Jeremy, and sleiman. 3000- sleiman
Jb 800- eamon (if he does it), if not Hutton, master, or bellemore are lookin speedy. 1500m- eamon, Hutton close by 3000m obviously eamon if he does it, if not Sloan or palamar
SB 800- souliman, denault, janikowski, grieve or langille 1500- Dillon, xavier or sileshi 3000- Ross, xavier, woodfine? And daryl will be up there
steeple- Daryl

They may not be spot on but their jus his opinion

Ya I agree that Jeremy And a couple others will battle it out with sleiman but in the end a 903 at the lancer prep by himself that early in the season speaks for itself so I think he'll win it in the end. I really don't see Harrison running the 8 since he is so good at 3k but that is a possibility

And daryl will be up there steeple- Daryl I'm suprised you would say that denault is a factor in the 800 but not the 1500. Also i think that sleiman isn't a gauranteed winner based on his average 800 metre time in 2:10. I highly dout he'd be able to shake such a talented feild of runners and i think that the winner in the 3000 will be the one with the best last half mile. And freemantle will not lose to wilson in the 800 metre, wilson is a 400/800 guy and the finals are on the same day as the semifinals. And finally I'm rather suprised you did not put down andrew Degroot for steeple i think that he and Daryl will have a great battle for the win.

I think denault is a factor in both because he showed he has tremendous speed last year. As for sleiman, I think he can hold off the feild. It will be a good battle for the win but in the end you don't need a ton of speed for 3km and I think he will come up clutch when it come down to it.I think freemantle will win in the end but Liam Wilson will definately be up there. Also degroot is very good at steeple and I'm sure they will be fighting hard for 1st and 2cd at ofsaa but based on the way I saw Daryl run the wecsaa alcomers #3 all alone going that quich of a time, I just don't see him losing this year

I Think that sleiman could hold off the feild but stephanson has an amazing kick and if he is anywhere near sleiman in the last lap i think he will catch him.

So ive observed how this works i wanted to give my pick on who i think is the odds on favourite and probably will and a darkhorse who has a chance to seriously shock some people Senior Boys Predictions 100-Aaron Brown( Kids unreal) 200-Aaron Brown ( not sure if hes running) 400- Allistar Moona - Seen him indoors and an impressive time outdoors 800-Mohammad Souleman- Havnt seen him race but have seen times 1500- Eric Dillon- Very strong times i believe hes broke 4 recently 3000- Ross Proudfoot- This guy is an absolute monster,this is his year 2000 Sc-Daryl Smith- 6:01 this early in the season is very impressive
Darkhorse Picks 100 & 200 - I have 2 names , Marlon Laidlaw & Ike Omoruna(will be very stong contenders) 400- Phillip Osei( kids quick, this is moonas year) 800-Chris Medeima- Watch him run a 1:53,very strong muscular guy) 1500- Rob Denault- Very good runner , should be right up there 3000- Xavier King- Wants to make up for Ofsaa xc im sure 2000m Steeple- Dont know exactly whos running but someone who did entrigue me is Nick Pimental ,watched him battle with deGroot at cardinal carter,although looks like degroot and daryl will battle, is chris dulhanty still running? if so he will be up there too
