Two uncommitted seniors in the fast boys 3200. Jaster and Felix. Jaster seems like a textbook BYU guy (American Fork and brother on the team), but maybe they don’t have room.

Montana State has 3 commits in the rated 3200m section. It would be quite the win for them if they are bringing in 3 sub-9 guys in one class.
And Notre Dame has Griffith (8:31c), Ryan Pajak (8:44), and Jason Parra who could join that group on Saturday night. This is gonna be a GREAT race. Good luck to all!
Yeah I knew ND had more coming in, but couldn't remember. Could this be the greatest recruiting class of AMERICAN schooled MALE high school athletes? Off the top of my head, I can think of none greater based on track times.
Disclaimer: Not propping up ND here as I"m not an Irish fan. Facts are facts...this class is SICK!

Landon Heemeyer - BYU commit and 14th at NXN is in the 2nd fastest heat

There are scratches so he could still get moved in.

Couple of insights..and I do believe both NFHS 3200m records could fall Saturday evening. From a quick glance, these are the best fields put together in history or close to it. The depth in these races are awesome! Let's hope the weather holds up. Remember when breaking 10 was this huge barrier for girls. Last year 9 did it in one race. 42 boys broke 9 and then you start sprinkling in the 9:01s, 9:02s, etc. I remember when 16 broke it in one race and it was this HUGE deal. This number could be blown away Saturday night so let's hope the weather holds up. So many inside stories with all of these great runners, but here's a couple I know of. I would love to hear others so post'em up.
-Jaelyn Williams whom was 7th at NXN has run only a couple of invites since last December. She has dropped 8s on her 3200m PR this year and in a dual meet. Last week she dropped 5s on her 800m PR by 5s in a dual meet. She is the faster one on her team...boy or girl so that should tell you about the seriousness of her school's track program. A bad race for her now is a 10:20. She could be in a for a big improvement. I believe she is doubling and I sure hope not. I wanna see what she can do in this 3200m race.
-Ryan Pajak. He owns multiple victories over Drew Griffith. Not sure why he did not do as serious of an indoor season. Not all Western PA schools have indoor programs so perhaps that's it. Anyone know if he was injured over the winter? Taking time off? Anyway, if he is back in the swing of things, I have a very difficult time seeing him :13s behind Drew Griffith and he perhaps could beat him.
Also think the Mile record could get challenged. Bunch of ~4:40 runners to challenge Engelhardt who is only 1 second off the record 4:33.87 with her own pr. Her 1500m run with the pros a few weeks ago technically converts to a time faster than the record as well
Sadie could get the 1 mile record, but it won't have anything to do with the 4:40 runners in the race. Sadie will take off at the gun as per usual and run the race by herself.
There will be 2 races going on simultaneously. Sadie going for a really fast time, and everyone else racing for 2nd place.

A number of the top girls are entered in both the mile and the 3200. It's hard to say if the girls 3200 record can be broken until we find out who exactly is going to be in the race.
Since the main race at Arcadia is the 3200, I hope the top girls who are currently entered in both races drop the mile and just run the 3200.

This would be something I have seen in every Englehart race except when Daria Frias edged her out 2 years ago at APU.

Unless Jane Hedengren has recovered enough from her injury to challenge her -- remember she ran 4:35 at Brooks PR last year. Probably not, but you never know.

Benji could run 8:55ish, don’t see much better than that

I doubt Heemeyer would go faster. He’s raced once this year and has been injured for a long time.

Agree. Austin Westfall should he moved up, 4th @ NXN

I'm thinking that Hedengren still isn't 100% yet. But give her 2 more months and Engelhardt vs Hedengren in the mile at Brooks PR would be a very good race.

Agreed. How could anyone overlook such a thing?

Andie Aagard in the girl's 3200 is also uncommitted. She only recently decided to run in college. Also seems like a probable BYU commit. I am sure they have room but they have signed six or seven already so maybe not much money left.
Roberts and Mecham in the 3200, Meldrum in the mile, and Buswell in the 800 invitationals are all BYU signees. Also Anderson in the 800 seeded.

Seriously though.......
Unless conditions become dangerous, they will continue to run the event. The factors that could change things are:
Rain - to much water on the track causing a tripping hazard
Wind - crap being blown onto the track/stands etc...
Lightning - immediate halt to proceedings
It's not unprecedented to see changes in advance based on weather forecast. But there are a huge number of factors that influence this. Local laws regulations with regard to how late events can run (lights etc...) . School rules/policy about when the public can be on campus.
The schedule certainly allows for an earlier start on Friday - but we are getting close to the point of no return where it is to late to make a time change.
Tripping over water?
