We haven't seen Martin run well in rounds at the top level yet. He ran just behind Jock at 1:44.7 earlier this year, so he has the talent to do it, but he's been an also ran at ncaa. Jock's style means that he will be a contender for the win in every American race, whereas Andrews will be way out of it well into the second lap, hoping to outkick the whole field enough to make it at the last second into the top three. He will have a shot to do that. 1:45.05 was big improvement from what he'd run earlier this year, so he's clearly coming around and he's a lock for the 1500m team, but Symmonds can run sub 1:44 right now and KD is already at 1:44 mid and is always in position to qualify. My team right now is Symmonds, Jock, and KD. Of course, we'd all like to see some very high upside guys qualify (Jock, Andrews, Wheating, maybe Loxsom, Martin, and Greer, who knows?), people with the hope of running 1:42 in the next few years.
