USA Distance Olympics Medal Picks

First of all, before I talk about my Distance Medal Picks I wanted to say one thing. I wanted to say thanks to Evan Jager for getting an American Record in the Steeplechase yesterday by just a little over 2 seconds. The American Record by Dan Lincoln was set in 2006 with a time of 8:08.82 and Evan Jager jus got a 8:06.81 in just his 5th Steeplechase race ever. Now that is over just like Sport Illustraed picked there top three in every sport and event for the Olympic and I thought I would tell you who I think in the American Distance World will get a medal and what medal I think they will get.
