(100 points possible):

Correct answers:

  • Winning Women's 1500m time: 4:02.80 (Violeta Beclea-Szekely)

    The other two questions -- first and second place in the Men's 200m -- turned out to be a non-issue. For whatever reason, the 200m was dropped from the program; too late to change the contest questions. Thus, only the 1500m predictions were scored for this month's contest. Sorry about the confusion.
