Yes/No: Anderson Sub-4:07 at Prefontaine?

Fresh off a personal record in the 1500 at the Occidental High Performance Meet two weeks ago, Gabriele Anderson will shoot for another fast time this weekend on an even bigger stage at the Prefontaine Meet in Eugene, Oregon.  Anderson won her heat and placed third overall while out-kicking Morgan Uceny at Oxy.

Many runners in the 1500 at Pre will be shooting for the Olympic "A" standard of 4:06.00.  The race is billed as the "National 1500" and it features many of the top Americans including Shannon Rowbury, Anna Pierce and World Champion Jenny Simpson.

How fast will Gabriele Anderson run against this stellar field?  Let us know with your answer to this question...

Yes/No: Will Gabriele Anderson run faster than 4:07.00 at the Prefontaine Meet on Friday?
