Yes/No: Goucher in Olympic Marathon Top 12?

If you thought the Olympics were interesting last week, it's time to take it up a notch - track and field events begin today and continue until Sunday, August 12th.  The women's marathon will be one of the early finals, taking place this Sunday morning.  World Record holder Paula Radcliffe may have dropped out, but the field remains outstanding.

The United States sends a strong marathon team featuring Desiree Davila, Shalene Flanagan and Duluth's own Kara Goucher.

Goucher's sixth career marathon will be in London at the Olympics.  Let us know how you think she will do...

Yes/No: Will Kara Goucher finish in the top 12 in the Olympics Marathon on Sunday?

My Answer:  Yes

The Yes/No question last week was:  Will Heather Kampf win the Ryan Shay Mile on Saturday?   The answer was  yes - Kampf won the race by almost two seconds in 4:31.83.  Twenty-two players answered correctly last week.  Mike Mason maintained his lead and now has twenty points.  Ryan Aylesworth and Gloria Jansen are next in line with nineteen points and then there are four players with eighteen points.
