2 for 1 Opening Day/Gingerific Poll Challenge

Just wanted to let everyone know we're going to open up the site with two new interviews on the 1st. We picked the brains of OAC Juniors Mike "Saucey" Siringer of Marietta and Ian "the Ginger Warrior" Hankins of Muskingum and will spotlight their mindset going into the 2008 cross country season.

Also, since 'opening day' just so happens to be right smack in the middle of the Olympic Trials in Eugene (where two of our first three interviewees--Castrillo and Hankins--as well as contributor
JD Walters, will be) we thought we'd propose little challenge:
During our interview with Ian, the topic of Eugene naturally came up. We eventually began discussing the 1500 and he told us who he expects to qualify and represent the USofA this summer. We've created a new poll (bottom of page) that includes Ian's predictions. We'll take the poll down when the site debuts next Tuesday. Until then, your job is to guess which three runners he guessed--not your own personal predictions (make sense?). The correct answer will obviously be unveiled
when you watch (listen?) to his interview.

Happy trails (and roads, meadows, fields, et al.).
