I really wanted Trevor Dunbar in there, maybe next year.

Peacock beats 17 of the 24 qualifiers for the 5000 but misses by a second, getting run down in the last 400. His conditioning was getting there but was just a little thin.

This is why all qualifying should be by time, not by placing.
Missing possibly the biggest name... luke puskedra, with the even more shocking fact that he was not even close.. 14:19.22
also, alfred kipchumba of portland who had one of the top 10k times this year (top 5) misses it along with colorado crew of wacker/tebo/medina. all these guys were pretty far off

Not a surprise for Luke, what has he ever done in the 5k in college?

He's carrying at least 5 extra pounds of beer weight right now anyway. He'll be good when he's out of Oregon and training for the marathon when his mileage is high enough to counteract beer calories. Also, he's not a great 5ker.
Puskedra made it in the 10k didnt he? and he ran himself into the ground there. can't imagine he would've been capable of running with the fresh guys in the 5k.
He'll still be at nationals...and if he doesn't continue to pull his first half stunt, he might be competitive for all-american.
Didn't Pusdedra already qualify in his primary event, the 10K? It seems to me it was obvious that he went through the motions (ie honest effort rule) in the 5K. The ignorance and negativity of uninformed LR posters never ceases to amaze.

Please tell me that's sarcasm. Please.

THE HONEST EFFORT RULE is set up so that an athlete can't tank an event and then come back in another. It has nothing to do with the second event run.
I do however agree with your "ignorance of uninformed" comment.
The honest effort rule applies to the entire NCAA meet -- prelims and finals. If he didn't give an honest effort in this 5k, he wouldn't be allowed to run the 10k at nationals (according to the rules).

At NCAA's, every event shall be run as a set of 24 one-man time trials over the distance in question.
...Vin Lananna, ladies and gentleman!
I disagree. There is a huge element of racing that is lost when it comes to qualifying solely on time and I am sure the NCAA wanted to get rid of the ability to qualify early based on time and then have a runner not be running well once the championships roll around. This assists some runners who are racing well in their respective geography but can't get out to Mt Sac or Stanford to run a qualifying time.
I do agree that it is ridiculous when someone does run well the meet and doesn't make it. Maybe they should make an auto mark that even if you don't make it on place, that if you run faster than this time at the qualifying meet you get in. I think that would alleviate some this.
feet to the fire just doesn't get it, does he? Puskedra qualified in a difficult 10K, then came back in an event that was never more than a "back up" for him. He ran an honest effort kind of race, in an event that he might have gone a bit faster, had he been willing to trash himself for the NCAA meet in 10 days. The NCAA officials felt he gave an honest effort, and none of the other coaches protested...did they? So, you need to get an understanding of what the honest effort rule really means and quit whining.
Something was going on with Kipchumba. In the 10K, he was lelading and then went down for a couple seconds about half way through the race. He got back into the race, but he obviously has an injury or something going on. Too bad that all these good runners didn't advance to Des Moines, but that's why they have the Prelim championships, isn't it? BTW, Puskedra did advance in his specialty (10K), and I believe that Oregon advance every single athlete who has been penned in as a potential scorer at Des Moines. This seemed like a pretty impressive meet for both the men and women of Oregon.
Cam Levins outkicking all those guys?
