We'll admit, the Boston U. Scarlet & White Invitational isn't necessarily revered as a must-watch meet in the same way that the John Thomas Terrier Classic and the Valentine Invitational are.


Even so, the record-friendly red oval is still among the fastest in the entire country -- maybe even the world. And as we look at the collegiate entries for this weekend, it's hard to think that we won't see any national-caliber headlines come out of Boston on Saturday.


Here are our picks for this weekend's distance races at Boston University...

NOTE: Predictions are only for attached collegians listed in the entries. TSR is aware that an athlete could/will scratch out of certain events to pursue a more manageable weekend of racing. Even so, The Stride Report will offer predictions for each event as if every athlete in the distance fields will be completely fresh.

*An asterisk denotes that a collegian is also entered in another individual event.
