US Nationals Preview: Senior Men's Competition

When projecting the results for Nationals, it is important to look at the skaters' results in the events leading up to Nationals. The men included in this post are the competitors that have the best chance of medaling at Nationals. Below are the scores from the 2010 Grand Prix Series, both the senior and junior circuits. I will be making my predictions and fantasy choices based on these scores and some other extenuating factors in a post to come next week. But for now, here are the top scores among US Men for the short program, free skate, and overall totals. An asterisk (*) denotes a competitor on the Junior Grand Prix circuit. Keep in mind that junior competitors have less required elements than senior competitors.
