Texas Track and Field

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

I think the first leg saw a Tennessee runner (orange and white) thinking it was a Texas runner. It can be the only explanation. I bet Texas is getting DQed here. 

[orangeut 216]

   Be pathetic if we get a DQ for not paying attention

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Texas DQ'ed. Still the favorites to win it all but that lowers the margin for error in finals. 

What a terrible mistake. 

[orangeut 216]

Our women's team is just snakebit over the last 3 years, but no excuse for that huge blunder

Definitely a major fuck up but it's going to take 2 or 3 major bad things happening to Texas for Arkansas to win. Best path for Arkansas is to just hope Alfred has a really bad day or isn't fully healthy. 

Smith already scored above her expected value in the Long Jump and Texas qualified a shit load of sprinters in finals. 

 

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Florida had a terrible night. They're done. 

Texas vs Arkansas for the title. Need the sprinters to do what they did in the prelims and Texas will win.

Ackelia Smith needed a big jump to even qualify for the final nine on her 3rd attempt. Then she had a huge jump on her final attempt to win the Long Jump. 

Feels like a defining moment for a team that hasn't been able to get over the hump. Ice in her veins. 

I was sitting first row by the pits. She fucking soared on that jump.

Even a bigger moment now in the context of the 4x400 DQ. 

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

It’s still going to take some major fuck ups for Texas to lose.

I remember watching those FloSports projections last year showing Texas at the top until that lead slowly slipped away after each subsequent projection.

Good start for Blazevica in the heptathlon.

Yup.

I stopped checking. I'm wondering if I should follow along tomorrow since I'll be at a bbq/pool party.

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Brutal, Texas Tech wins the 4x1 on the men's side but ends up getting DQ'ed. They had a shot at a national title but that's out the window now.

[WBT 20965]

Damn impressive run by the Georgia freshman to win the 800 pulling away

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

It was a good day for Blazevica in the heptathlon. 

In 6th through 4 events but 2/3 events tomorrow are her best events.

Stanford men just won the 200 and 5000. That moves them to 3rd. 

 

Probably going to take championships in women's t&f and baseball to win the director's cup. 

[WBT 20965]

Great 4x400.  Florida and Arizona St both right at the collegiate record.

The Stanford men are having a really good day. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

So Florida won the mens title again. Womens finals are tomorrow 

[GreenspointTexas 9949]

Even if Texas wins the NC on the womens side, they would also have to win the CWS to move ahead of stanford

Works for me. Let's win another one in Omaha.

[Fudge Nuggets 19453]

Went to the men’s finals yesterday and after a few minutes realized I was sitting next to Justin Gatlin. Making it back-to-back by going to the women’s finals tonight.
 

Top level track and field meets are a blast. The 100m yesterday had 7 dudes under 10s, the winner was 9.89 That’s hauling ass.

Huge PB for Blazevica in the javelin with only 1 event left and it's arguably her best event. I don't know where Flotrack had Blazevica projected in the heptathlon but I would think 2nd-4th would be above expected value. I figured she would finish in the 5th-8th range. 

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Blazevica in 5th in the heptathlon with 1 event left. Think she has the potential to move up to the 3rd or 4th with a good run in the 800M which has been her strongest event.  

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Texas WINS the 4x1. Great start. Also, Arkansas finishes 4th.

Can't ask for a better start. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19453]

That was an ass whipping in the 4x100. 

Edited June 11, 2023 by Fudge Nuggets

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Nugent wins 100M hurdles for Arkansas but that was expected. 

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

100M coming up for Texas. We need huge points here with Alfred and 3 sprinters in finals. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Oh no, false start

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Thank god it's a green card. Jesus. 

[Mo Horn 8937]

Alfred wins it

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

1st, 5th, and 7th. 

Big points for Texas. 

Ackelia Smith currently 2nd in the triple jump. 

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

400M coming up for Arkansas. This is where they need huge points and for Adeleke to have a bad race for Texas. 

[orangeut 216]

Adelaka with the upset  10 points

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Adeleke!!!!!!!!!

 

Booom!!!!

Arkansas is in BIG Trouble.

[closetojumping 65379]

Hell yes. 

[BonzoMontreaux 1137]

Hell yeah!!!!

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Arkansas still picked up big points there finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th but Adeleke pulls off exactly what we needed. 

You can really hear her Irish accent. 

[Mo Horn 8937]

Does that pretty much clench it for us?

Avoid false starts in the 200. 3 in finals. Nothing stupid. 

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

I would expect Tobias to finish 5th to 9th in the 800 but she looked really good yesterday. 

[D3zii 3936]

Today is just Texas day. First baseball now W.Track

Yesterday was our day. You get this many sprinters in the finals it's difficult to lose. 

[D3zii 3936]

Damn I wish our 4x4 was running. We would sweep both relays

 

also I would love for college to run the 4x200 m relay 

Edited June 11, 2023 by D3zii

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Ackelia Smith coming up so big for Texas. Likely scoring 18 points for Texas this weekend.

True but even if Texas avoided the DQ they might not have run the 4x4 if they had a big enough lead. It's the last event. 

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

Tobias finishes 6th. About what was expected. Still points. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19453]

Tobias in the 800 all ‘bout dat ass

[Rickylovesweed 15447]

400M Hurdles. Arkansas needs a 1st here from Wilson to have any outside shot.
