1. Chasing Drayton 36 years and counting. Is this the year Jerome Drayton's Canadian marathon record goes down. Three guys ran under 2:13 this year, plus we had the debut of Simon Bairu and the anticipated debut of Rob Watson. Coolsaet and Gillis are slated to run in London this Spring -- will it happen there or could we see the showdown of the ages in Toronto? 2. Will either of Sully's OFSAA 1500m or Anderson's 3000m records go down? A fantastic group of Ontario high-school athletes, which includes four members of Canada's World Junior Cross Country team, as well as Rwandan refugee Yves Sikuwabo will be in hot pursuit of either of two of the most storied records in Canadian athletics. TnfNorth High School Athlete of The Year Rob Denault set the Canadian Youth record this past summer -- can he take off the 3 seconds necessary to get Sully's record? What about Anderson's 8-flat -- is Sikuwabo the man for the job? Tall orders indeed but it could be an exciting weekend in Sudbury.
