When it comes to Championship events, anything can happen. Just last year, we saw Sara Vaughn drop a 61-second last lap to make her first-ever world team, Robby Andrews kick down Olympic champion Matt Centrowitz, and Ryan Crouser throw a shot farther than any human ever since 2003.

Sure, there isn't a world team to make this year, but there is plenty on the line in Des Moines. These are the things we are most confident about.

Confidence Picks presented by Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans

Kevin: In a field with NCAA champions and global medalists, Erik Sowinski will get the victory in the men's 800m.

JoJo: Shelby Houlihan will win the 1500m and the 5K, the 3rd U.S. double of her career. 

• 3000m/1500m titles at 2018 U.S. Indoors
• 2 Mile/1 Mile titles at 2017 U.S. Indoors

Adam: I’m confident that Kevin and JoJo didn’t realize they were picking former Iowa runners (Erik / University of Iowa and Shelby / Sioux City East H.S.) to win U.S. titles, in Iowa.

Gordon: In his first meet as a professional athlete, Michael Norman runs top-10 U.S. all-time 200m mark.

Adam: In what will be my first ever USA Championship in person, coming off a tremendous NCAA Championship, a non-World Championship year and a weather forecast fit for Twister, this week will be thrilling!
