It's always difficult to gauge the results of a race but it seems like there are fewer competitive guys in the race this year but the chase pack is large as always. Meltzer is out, the MRC guys are injured or focused on different races, and I'm unaware of any green uber fast marathoner or Colorado guy showing up. If I'm missing anyone please let me know and I'll get this list updated!
1st- Kevin Shilling. Great shape as always and after last weeks miss turn should be able to get the win.
Chase Pack:
Allen Belshaw- Not sure if this guy is in top shape but with 2 previous Squaw wins you can never count him out.
Brian Beckstead (myself)- feeling good and ready to rip this one.
Fritz Van de Kamp
Karl Jarvis
Todd Schmidtke
Scott Kunz
Shane Martin
Dave Hunt
David Hayes
Matt Conners
Phil Lowry
Surely there are some more that should be or are consistent top 20...help me out!
Ladies race should be a solid competitive field. Competition includes:
Darcie Gorman
Sara Evans
Birgitta Johnson Mitchell
Marci Lameroux
Melanie Clayton
Milada Copeland
Jill Bohney
Deanna McLaughlin
Eve Davies

We'll definitely miss the MRC crew. Bummer for all those that went to Pocatello and didn't get to finish the race.
Better add Fritz Van De Kamp to your list. 2 marathon wins this spring. Will definitely be fast.
Rich is running and part of MRC
Karl- Ya I heard the conditions at Poca 50 were crazy! Weather on Sat look to be very nice. Slightly warmer than usual but near perfect.
Peter- I knew Fritz was in the race and spaced it when I posted. Thanks. He should do well.
MRC- Rich and Sam are in but Erik, Christian, Jay, Peter, and Greg out out. Sorry Rich but rumor has it said "He's in horrible shape." So I don't think any of MRCer's will be competing for top 10. Correct me if I'm wrong though!
