As we mentioned yesterday, we’re thrilled to welcome Malcolm to the Citius family and look forward to debuting his fearless feline forecasts for select events taking place at this weekend’s USATF Indoor Championships.

Malcolm is a three-year-old bombay who resides in central Indiana and enjoys being taken for walks on his silly cat leash by his owners, Olympic Trials qualifying steeplechasers Carl Stones and Sarah Pease.

We understand this first episode is our rough-cut but expect the quality to improve as the weeks go on. We’re not even a month old as a website yet! The idea is there, though!

So apologies for the horizontal video but please enjoy the first episode of Malcolm’s Choice.

On this week’s episode, Malcolm makes his picks for the:

Men’s and women’s 600: Casimir Loxsom vs. the field – Ajee Wilson vs. Courtney Okolo
Men’s and women’s 1,000: Robby Andrews vs. Clayton Murphy – Charlene Lipsey vs. The Field
Men’s and women’s mile: N.J.-N.Y. Track Club vs. the field – Bowerman Track Club vs. The Field
Men’s and women’s two-mile: Ryan Hill vs. Paul Chelimo – Shelby Houlihan vs. The Field

Check back on next week to see how Malcolm fared in his first week of action. You can follow Malcolm on Twitter at @RunnersAndCats.
