Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa is the site of this year's USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Minnesotans will be competing all over the stadium, but especially concentrated in the middle distance and 10k events. The meet has kicked off yesterday and will conclude on Sunday.
The event with the most Minnesotans is also the penultimate event of the entire meet: the Men's 1500 meter. Will Leer has the fastest 1500 time of the Minnesotans in 2010 but will be pushed by Ben Blankenship and the Heath brothers - Garrett and Elliott.

My answer: Yes
The fantasy contest question from last week was: Will Mary Akor or Chris Raabe (or both) repeat as Grandma's Marathon champions on Saturday? The answer was no. Raabe finished sixth and Akor fourth. Twenty-six contestants answered correctly this week and there was no change among the top seven players overall.
