After looking over the entries for both races I see Aaron Braun of Adidas as the favorite in the men's 12K race. I've seen him race in the past and he is very savvy and moves well when he needs to. He also runs with guts and will often put it out there. Gotta love that. For the women, it is hard not to pick Molly Huddle of Saucony. Sarah Hall has been running well but Huddle is strong and is better suited for the grass.
I look for Jeff Schirmer formerly of Southern Illinois University to run well. Guy is tough and finished 9th at last year's NCAA outdoor 10,000 meter run. He is often overlooked but was a 2-time cross All-American. Look for him to be top ten and surprising a lot of people.
