Yes, this meet schedule is simply not doable for most of the best middle distance. Heats and finals + DMR in 2 nights, with events literally minutes apart. The only ones who escaped are the 3k-5k specialists as they aren’t all on DMR duty, have no heats and those events are a day apart.
I’d have to agree with most of the people from last night’s board - if we want to see the best DMR and individuals in the finals, this current schedule needs a rethink.
Sprinters can’t manage it either as just evidenced by the same Arkansas women going 1-3 in the 400 and then 6-8 in the 200 finals.
It makes no sense for them to separate men and women into two sections like this. Run them together and give the athletes double the rest.
I think they may have cruised that 200 to save their effort for the 4x4. 6-8 still puts points on the board for the team

Ramsden was a class above. Dragged the 5 women behind her to PBs. A big PB for OK State’s Billah Jepkirui in 2nd. Impressive.
Ramsden goes from 4:35 D3 class runner to a class above the best NCAA women's mile field in 3 years. Nothing suspicious there, especially considering that her male counterpart Graham Blanks has also made a career of progress in 3 years.

she may have landed on her face. I heard the "smack" right before they cut away. surprised the announcers didnt mention she fell., they just said she dropped out.

It's not uncommon for people that age to believe that they have better balance than they actually do.

Ah I think I misread the live splits. You’re right, the 51.77 was Tenn 2nd leg

Too cheap to pay $11 to watch a major track meet? Some big track fan you are!
I agree
under 6 bucks a day?
easy decision really and i like it with race after race slight break , not ar all lengthy though
I thoroughly disagree. Think about the monthly TV rate if you're going to pay $11 to watch one event. Over the air would show you 24x30 hrs per month for $0, including three or more NFL games and many other events. Now if you have a cable subscription, you might pay some amount like $50-60/month on it. One track meet for 20% of a month's cable watching? That's outrageous. Don't forget that we also had World's and USA Trials in the past month. At the same rate, you'd be paying more than half a month's overpriced cable for $33. Then you add five to ten streaming services if you seriously want to watch all the track meets in the summer. It's the people who pay their outrageous prices that are the problem because they embolden organizations to charge all these prices. What was I missing ten years back when you could watch all this stuff free on the Internet?

Womens 3k - Ramsden, no show
Asekol, pacer the drop
Maatoug - drops out?
Roe - falls and drops
That is a lot of drop outs. Unless someone is sick or injured, (or falls), I am not a fan of no shows from an NCAA final. Other runners could have taken the spot.
Is pacing like that for a teammate legit at a championship final?
