A Detailed Look At The Wilson Or "24/8" Plan As Well As The Current "Pure Regional" System For Qualifying For The NCAA Outdoor Track And Field Championships - Men's Events

The NCAA Track And Field Qualification System May Change For 2011 And We Break Down The Current System (As Well As The Proposed Alternative System) For You

By LetsRun.com
June 8, 2010

It seems since the dawn of time, one of the biggest questions in track and field is what is the best/fairest way for people to qualify for certain events, teams, etc. Over the years, the NCAA has wavered back and forth on its NCAA qualifying process. For the last 8 years, the NCAA has had some sort of regional qualification system for the NCAA finals. However, the year 2010 is the first year of what we are calling the Pure Regionals in the sense that everyone must qualify for the NCAA finals on the same weekend (except for those in the decathlon and heptathlon).

We must admit that we here are fans of the Pure Regionals and we have written an editorial where we tell you why: "The Case For (Pure) Regionals."

However, we know that over the next few months there will be a lot of debate as to what to do in the future and we wanted to make sure everyone had the facts as to what systems maybe used in the future. One option proposed as an alternative as Pure Regionals is the "Wilson Plan" or the "24/8" plan. The 24/8 Plan, as it is now being called, is the brainchild of Minnesota women's coach Gary Wilson. Under the Wilson Plan, regionals would be a thing of the past. The athletes qualifying for NCAAs would be the top 24 athletes on the NCAA descending order list that declare for NCAAs in a particular event plus the next eight fastest (seasonal bests) conference champions that declare.

Late in May, LetsRun.com painstakingly did the research to figure out what the 24/8 plan would have looked like had it been used this year. We have now updated that information with an analysis of how the first year of Pure Regionals worked. We now provide you with that information as a service to the track and field community and hope it helps better the sport.

To read about all of the specifics of the 24/8 Plan, please download The Wilson Plan Microsoft Word document. To get up to date on the controversy over Regionals, please see this LRC message board thread. Otherwise, enjoy the stats below. Below you can see how many of the top 24 in each event made it this year, as well as how many of the 8 next-best conference champs made it as well.

# Of Top 24 On Descending Order List That Made It Under Pure Regional System

Non-Distance	Out Of 24	1,500 On Up	Out Of 24	Field Events	Out Of 24	Relays	Out Of 12
100	16 66.7%	1,500	11 45.8%	HJ	17 70.8%	4 x 100	11 91.7%

Overall Total (Not Including Relays)	293/432 67.8%

We took the analysis a bit further and looked at how many of the top 10 people declared in each event didn't advance to the final round of NCAAs, as one of the arguments used against regionals is that it might really hurt a top team's chance at a national title, since the top athletes might screw up in qualifying. But that's clearly not the case. Just like in the NCAA basketball tournament, by and large the top seeds advance. For the men, 85% of the top 10 declared athletes that competed in each event advanced to the finals. Thus, it shows that regionals work as they were intended - the best athletes do get through by and large (as a much higher percentage of top seeds make it than lower seeds) but it gives hope to the little guy.

Below you will find a list of the athletes who would make this year's NCAA Championships under next year's proposed "24/8" rule, in which the athletes with the top 24 seasonal bests and the conference champions with the next 8 seasonal bests qualify for the Championships. You also will see how the athletes in the top 24 of the descending order list did under the Pure Regional system. You also see how the proposed conference championship qualifiers under the "24/8" plan did this year under the Pure Regional system.

A "D" after a mark indicates the athlete declared an entry to this year's NCAA first round. Red indicates an athlete who had one of the top 48 marks in the East or West region for the 2010 outdoor season but did not declare for  the NCAA first round in that event. Q or q indicates that an athlete qualified for the finals of NCAA this year in Eugene. The top 24 athletes are listed in all events are listed plus the marks of athletes who make the top 24 when the undeclared athletes are removed from the list. Conference champions with the next 8 seasonal bests are then listed. Conference champions who would be outside of the top 24 if everyone on the descending order list declared entry to the NCAA meet are indicated as such, so you can figure out who would make the NCAA meet this year under next year's "24/8" rule if no one scratched.

Note: We're assuming that since there is a 4-way tie for the final spot and two of them are conference champs that the two conference champs (Matt Evans and Donte Nall) would go to NCAAs as conference champs. As a result, then either Brandon Fitch or Jamal Wilson would go as the 24th qualifier based on whoever has the 2nd-best jump or whoever cleared 2.16 most recently.
