Good in season speed for Wilson in January. He was 1:02 at the same meet last year. This bodes well for his chances in the 100 at trials. Another 6 months of Eddie Reese training, and working out with Will Licon in practice everyday, should squeeze out whatever untapped talent he still has after his amazing drops last year. . I sure hope Cody Miller shows up at Orlando so we can see him race these guys head to head and see if his scm and scy drops translate in long course. Looks like Tierney may break into the Cordes/Fink/Miller/Wilson pack soon. Michael Andrew may break a minute at trials– but just barely. I think it will take high 58/American record to get an Olympic spot in the 100. Right now I would put my $ on Wilson & Miller for the 2 spots. Cordes is the wildcard–very hard to predict how he will perform on the big stage in the 100.
