We\u2019re getting ready to wind this indoor season down. Several countries will now put together their teams for the World Indoor Championships in Istanbul, Turkey, which will be the culmination of the season. Here in the U.S. that process will be a Trials<\/a> meet this coming weekend in Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

This won\u2019t be the \u201cknock down drag out fight\u201d of a meet that we will see come June when the Olympic Trials take place in Eugene \u2013 as many athletes forego the indoor season and focus their preparation on outdoors. It will be an outstanding competition, however, as several individuals have performed well enough to lead the world in their events entering Albuquerque:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to these \u201cworld leaders\u201d, several of last year\u2019s medalists from the outdoor World Championships have had solid indoor seasons and will be competing in Albuquerque, including: LaShawn Merritt, Matthew Centrowitz, Christian Taylor, Jenny Simpson, Brittney Reese and Jill Camarena Williams. <\/p>\n

When the dust settles I expect that we will send a solid team to Istanbul. It won\u2019t have the depth of our outdoor teams \u2013 far too many of our best missing indoors. As a matter of fact, there will be some areas where we will be uncharacteristically thin, such as the sprints. But I expect that we will send a team of individuals capable of competing for the podium. So here is my list of Projected U.S. Champions that I think will lead the charge in Turkey.<\/p>\n
