PSU is 800 U: Professional Edition

New Brooks Beast Casimir Loxsom and his new professional running friends have come out of the gate with a bold opening 100 M, so to speak.  Here and Here for more

They are going for the  7:13.94 4 x 800 M World Record in the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston on Feb. 8.  Joining him will be Matt Sherer, Mark Wieczorek and headliner Nick Symmonds.  There is another team of 4 headed by Robby Andrews in the field.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they will break the record without problem.

What about the NY/NJ Track Club you say? Ok, here is your answer:
Robby Andrews: 1:44.71
Mike Rutt: 1:45.08
Brian Gagnon: 1:45.45
Tevan Everett: 1:46.02

This could be more exciting than the East Coast vs. West Coast Rap/Hip Hop Wars!
