Top Times Watch:
Illinois Top Times is on Friday. To participate in this meet one has to qualify. Entries close Monday at Midnight, so we will know more then. Here's who has a chance of qualifying (I'm listing all marks that would presently be a qualifier, even though some will not participate; it's nice to have recognition!) Not all top marks qualify; coaches must declare the athletes, so some athletes outside of the number MAY qualify, as coaches may scratch athletes in certain events.
