2 of the 5 returning scorers moved to different events, but that still leaves us with half of the previous top 6 intact. That means top 6 spots are at a premium and we lead off with a few candidates in Kramer and especially Duran who was 1:02 2 years ago.
Gewalt joins Gridley as a returning top 6 finisher and has been 1:01. Papanicholas has also been 1:01, and Messina has been 1:02 which means it is very likely that no 1:03s will get in the big heat. I do like the final heat best and think Nawrocki and Beu will both score.
