Please educate me a bit here… why the heck did heat 1 of the 1500 have NCAA ranked 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 seeds? Talk about unbalanced. A huge advantage to heat 2 runners (with top seeds = 5,10,11,16…) and very tough for someone like Plourde, who just missed out from heat 1 and probably would have breezed in from what was always going to be *the slow heat*.
