Texas Track and Field

[sidis 9713]

if past performance is any indication, kyle and leo will be close to even after javelin...kyle is going to crush him there.  will come down to the 1500m race.

also of note, the tennessee decathlon athlete has stepped shit up big time to probably grab them some serious points here.  keeps them in the convo for a while.

The bank and field events are coming up big for Texas.

Still a chance to get some points in the triple jump.

PV still going, both struggling to clear 16 -1 1/4 currently

[crum 521]

Owens Delerme from Arkansas is probably the best positioned to win the Dec as of current

Yes but this would still be a great result if Leo can finish 2nd and ahead of Georgia. 

Georgia was expecting to have 2 ahead of Leo in the decathlon.

i'm just following scoring and don't have tv.  has he pv'd yet?  looks like he has the second highest jump coming in behind georgia's guy.  looks like he is strong in javelin and 1500.

no, hes in the second group. Garland (Georgia) and Leo both have one attempt left on this height. nobody in this wave has cleared it yet

[crum 521]

both miss, leo remains 74 clear of garland heading to the last 2 events

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Leo just threw a PR in the javelin. 

What a meet so far for him.

yup. up 33 with just the 1500 left!

Owens is the best 1500 runner so not sure if this will be enough for Leo.

correct, but him and garland run very simliar 1500s i believe so 2nd is very in reach

The best I can tell Garland has about a 6 sec best time advantage over Leo.

yep about 5 seconds based on their last meets,  who knows Leo is pumping out PRs and Garland hasnt been as dominant as we've seen before. Even then, is a 6 second difference going to cover 33 points? truly no idea

Again, best I can tell is that is about 30 points.  Yikes!

We need one more personal best Leo.  Or just beat him head to head.

Women with the top time in the 4x100 semis.  

Aggy 4x100 for women DNF

[orangeut 212]

way to go aggy, didn't let us down

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Julien Alfred is so smooth. Glides as a runner. 

 

 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

The women's side is off to a great start. 

[Pancho 44358]

Got 2 into the 100m finals!  Women, keep this shit up!

[sidis 9713]

When the fuck is the 1500?

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

What a start for the women!

Getting a ton of runners into finals.

9:57 texas time

[WBT 20397]

RG3 is announcing on the espnu coverage.  He could have been a great hurdler if he didn't get hurt playing football 

[Pancho 44358]

Women got 2 in the 400m final!

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

The Texas women did not come to play!

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

They keep talking about Flannel in the 100 but she wasn't predicted to advance. It looked like she was jogging in the 100.

Flannel's better event is the 200 and looks like she conceded the 100 with 2 other Longhorns advancing. 

Edited June 10, 2022 by Rickylovesweed

[sidis 9713]

Looks like they’ve got 2 qualifiers for the 200m as well! Nice. 

[Pancho 44358]

Are they reviewing the 200?  Gbai of Howard is highlighted.  If they are reviewing her and that’s a DQ, it looks like Adeleke would get in and that would be 2 in the finals for the 200 as well.

Yup, fuck my original post.  We got 2 in the 200m regardless. 

Looking fucking fantastic!

[jeevsie 3720]

Where’s the 1500??

Flannel and Davis both made the 200m final. 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Did anyone watch Flannel in the 100? 

That had to be Texas conceding the 100 because she was jogging. Her better event is the 200. She would have been on the bubble in the 100 so looks like they decided to prioritize the 200. 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

1500 is up for Leo. 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Garland and Leo finished close. 

Leo should finish in 2nd!

[sidis 9713]

They were neck and neck so he should take second behind owens. 

[crum 521]

Leo ran a PR and finished 2nd! well done

[jeevsie 3720]

Heck of a meet to get 2nd! So many PRs

[Valmy77 13092]

Looks like he did finish 2nd and piggy got the meet record so most years Leo would be champ.

Still helps us win the National Championship though

[crum 521]

Also his PR for Decathlon points. great work by a sophomore! Vaulted us to 2nd for the time being with 20 points

[Pancho 44358]

Yes Leo in the top 3 helps so much. Badass!

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

6 to 8 point swing in our favor from the decathlon. Now a little more cushion. 

 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Not a good meet for Georgia so far on the men's side but they did have an injury in the decathlon. 

[crum 521]

3rd and 8th on long jump on the women's side

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

This is going to be Texas against Florida for both national titles.

Georgia was predicted to outscore Texas 16-5 in the decathlon. 

It ended up being 8 to 6 in our favor. This is how you win national championships. 

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Tiara Davis would have wiped the floor with this long jump field. At least a Longhorn still finished 3rd!

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Need to avoid a mistake in the 4x400 and this would be a great semifinals. 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Texas can advance with ease. No mistakes.
