Seriously... there are NO elite woman (age 18-39) and only TWO elite men (age 18-39) from the US?! I know it's an Olympic year and all, but still, that's kind of sad. I thought American distance running was on an upswing? So, I decided to look up the "all time" best running performances. There are USA runners in the top 5 in distances through the 400m (including hurdles) for the men (wow, total domination in the 400m and 400m hurdles) before they disappear from the leader boards. The women only held on through 200m, with one lone mark in the mile and a couple in the 400m hurdles (but the 100m sure looked good).
Oh well, at least both races at Boston should be "entertaining" (both of the '11 winners are back)... I think Universal Sports has live coverage.
