Well shit. Argh. 

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

Not a good night for the men but the good news is it's going to take a huge choke for the women to not win tomorrow. 

They have a ton of qualifiers in finals and the potential to score a lot of points. 

[D3zii 3677]

Well hopefully The womens finals go much better

The sprinters on the women's side are much better than the men. 

For the men to win they were going to need 16 to 22 points from the other events. The women's team is built on the sprints.

I always felt a team built on sprinters were stronger. .

Rickylovesweed could you expound a little bit on the recruiting class you commented on a few days ago please?   The one recruit i saw from Highland Park doesn't seem like a top sprinter to me with just the 7th best time in the state, and a 21 flat in the 200 meters if ok, but nothing spectacular.  I hope there is a lot faster guys than him coming in.   TIA

There's a good discussion here. https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=11289973

Spoiler

University of Texas Men is A+++
its so many standouts to list but they recruited three of the top 5 best dualhurdlers in the nation all running 36.2 or less. Brenen Thompson running 10.2 and john rutledge 20.55. Nolton Shelvin 10.1 . Jeremiah Nubbe top ranked discuss thrower. Their Distance recruits are crazy good too.

Florida blowing us away

good to see distance is coming in, we kind of punted on those this year

[orangeut 212]

wow, we suck in this race

[D3zii 3677]

Damn Florida killed it. , congrats to them!!!

Which is crazy cause we had the fastest time coming in 

[orangeut 212]

Maybe we should have hired Florida's coach

[Pancho 44732]

I think the pressure got to the men.  Oh well, I still love where both track programs are under Floreal. 

[WBT 20561]

3rd leg had a piano on his back.  If I heard them right we had the fastest anchor split.  He moved up from 6th or 7th to 4th, just ahead of aggy.

2nd in the nation lol. helluva season

[Js1 85300]

 5th runner up finish this year?

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

The sprinters looked tired.  

They didn't look great in prelims either. Which is surprising because the women looked completely different yesterday in the semis.

I don't think it was pressure. 

Not peaking at the right time. None of the sprinters looked great this week. 

[orangeut 212]

Again, thanks Rickylovesweed for the update on recruiting, very informative.   

[warhorn8 14]

How many of those guys come back next year?

I think Kristine BLAZEVICA has scratched on all three long jump attempts.  Zero points coming from Heptathlon.

She did not have a good meet.   Is she hurt?  

[Pancho 44732]

Tyra starting us off in high jump. Let’s see what she can do.

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

4x1 relay coming up. Get off to a good start. 

[Pancho 44732]

FUCK YEAH!

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

The women sprinters look completely different than the men. 

Looked the same in the semifinals. 

[sidis 9825]

Great start to the day! 

[Dr. Teeth 5844]

Boom!

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

The talent is at a different level on the women's side but I wonder why the women's sprinters are peaking at the right time and the men weren't? 

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Nice start! 

What's this under review bullshit?

South Carolina was DQ'ed for some reason.

Ah ok.  Fuck them.  10 for us.  LFG.

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

100 is up next for Texas in about 30 minutes and the way Julien  is running  it's going to be extremely difficult to beat her. 

Need Kevona to also finish in the middle of the pack for us or higher. 

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

Tyra off to a good start in the high jump.

Steeplechase will be water on the entire track. 

[sidis 9825]

This graphic cracked me up for some reason. Just put Florida and Texas up there and be done with it. 

 

who could have predicted a rainy mess in Eugene, Oregon? So stupid that it gets so much deference. 

[WBT 20561]

This BYU chick that just dominated the steeplechase is cute.

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

Wayment made the steeplechase look easy. 

Doesn't even look gassed.

She's married of course. All decent looking BYU girls are married by 19

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

Time for Julien to flex in the 100. 

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

Jesus, Gittens choked. 

We are doing everything to lose this. 

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

Sprinters will have to carry us to victory.

so are we screwed after the choke in the high jump?

No still projected to win. 

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

Julien!

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Got the win, not sure if Davis scored?

[Rickylovesweed 14265]

400 up next. 

Need some points from Simon and Williams. 

[orangeut 212]

Way to go Julien.  Hook em
