Minnesota is known for its great age-group competitors. Anytime there is a Masters National Championship or even World Championships, Minnesota is well represented. This weekend's case in point is the USA Masters 10K Championship in Michigan. Thom Weddle is making the trek to Ann Arbor to compete against the best 70-74 year old distance runners in the nation.It is a foregone conclusion that Weddle will finish near the top of his age-group because he always does. But we would like to ask how fast the 71-year-old will run on Sunday:
Y/N: Will Thom Weddle break 45:00 in the USA Masters 10k Championship on Sunday?
Thom Weddle has been a top age-group runner nationally and even internationally for many years.

He then competed in the World Masters Meet and finished second in the 1500 (5:45). Weddle also placed in the top four in the 800, 3k and 8k Cross Country at the World Meet in his age-group. He has also dominated his 70-74 class on the Minnesota roads running 21:01 for 5k, 36:58 for 8k and 45:25 at the Get in Gear 10k.

My answer: Yes
The result of last week's Pick Ten was the rich getting richer. Mike Henderson and Jesse Schoen were first and second going into the contest and they tied for the lead last week, extending their margins. Moving into third place in the overall standings is Mitch VanBruggen.
In the Yes/No contest there were three contestants that were perfect in May. The monthly winners this month were Jesse Schoen, Jim Glazer and Gregg Robertson with four points a piece.
