2006 "Time Bomb" California State Meet Predictions Contest
It was very impressive how close these predictions were to the actual 13:12.27 !
1. (tie) "Bad Hammy"   ---- 0.02 seconds away
1. (tie) Michael Lucero  ---- 0.02 seconds away
3. Carlo Ordinola ------------- 0.05 seconds away
4. Menso DeJong ------------ 0.07 seconds away
5 . Manny Mejia -------------- 0.08 seconds away

"Bad Hammy" is a good-natured DyeStatter who requests anonymity and has also expressed a desire
to offer up the watch to the next closest entrant if he won, as he knew he  was only 0.02 away.
  That means Michael Lucero (Camarillo HS, CA) wins the watch. Michael, check your email!
Thanks to all for entering!
