Poll Results : Andrews wins 800 at USA's


In a tight finish, reminiscent of our "Verzbicas for 2-mile Record" results from two weeks ago, Robby Andrews earns Flo Nation's vote of confidence going into this week's 800 at USA's. Andrews beat out recently graduated UCLA Bruin Cory Primm by a mere 7 votes.

Was it interesting to see Primm receive so many votes of confidence going into USA's after a disappointing 800 at NCAA's? Somewhat. We very well could have some ballet stuffing going on here. Or maybe you all know something that we don't. Is this the quiet before the storm for the Primmster? Can he repeat his Oxy magic.

What about our boy Khadevis? 6.84 percent of the votes?! He's been on fire all season Flovoters! Perhaps even more surprising could be the complete lack of faith in one Tyler Mulder. The former NCAA champion from Northern Iowa has looked great all year as well, but couldn't buy a vote (2.4 percent)!

Symmonds, after being the best American 800 runner for the past several years, was picked to barely make the team. While he hasn't looked great of late, the Olympian always hows up big at championship races. Will he pull it together again? 

Lastly, Charles Jock lost to Andrews right at the tape, yet he received almost 900 less votes. No faith in the young UC Irvine stud? Perhaps many are shying away from his front-running style in a race that figures to have big kickers sitting on him throughout.
