Does anybody know splits from the D3 DMRs at Valentine? What did Bowdoin, Bates, Midd, MIT and Tufts look like?

Kiggins - 3:03.5
Way - 51.1
Marx - 1:52.1
Bullock - 4:09.1

Any idea what McCarthy's split was on the DMR? I tried to eyeball the Flotrack feed and am guessing 4:02-4 for 1600.

Wabash was another D3 team at the Valentine meet. They didn't run too bad, 3rd fastest all time in D3.
I rumors say 3:59 however more realistic sources say 4:00, supposedly closing in 57.
Wabash splits:
Jake Waterman 3:03
John Haley 49.25
Cole Hruskovich 1:54.71
Kevin McCarthy 4:02.75
Taken from the comment section from flotrack video of the race, from a commenter who seems to be one of their coaches.
Tufts DMR splits
Rose: 3'00
Buetler: 48.h
Marvel: 1'53
Haney: 4'17
That's a nice 1200 from Rose, didn't really expect that. What about Bowdoin, Bates and Midd? And is Bowdoin's time #2 all-time DIII?
Bowdoin was side by side with Tufts for the first 3 legs with Horowitz, some 400 runner, and Fong. Hillard closed in 4:07, other than that their splits line up almost identically with tufts.
MIT Bates Wabash and Midd were in a pack gapped behind Tufts and Bowdoin after the last handoff, McCarthy had a beast close for Wabash, almost won but Hillard turned it on with 100 to go.
not sure what to make of Tufts, Haney split around 4:10 last year, if he can get hit shit together they clearly have the first 3 legs to back it up, Rose looked really good in the 1200.
Haney, Rose, and Marvel will all be running 2:10 or slower in the 800 come outdoor, yet again.
Full splits for Bowdoin, Bates, & Midd pls. Tufts and MIT are probably the two teams I care the least about, actually.

Full splits for Bowdoin,
can you read?
No, why?
Anybody have any ideas about entries for Open New Englands this weekend? Will Scheetz run sub-4? Will Bowdoin break the D3 record for the DMR? This is everyone's second-to-last chance to better their marks for the NCAA lists, so I'm guessing we'll see a stacked mile and 800, and maybe 5k?
Nationals are this weekend.
Anybody have any thoughts going into the big meet?
All I want is for some of the 4th/5th guys in the mile, 5k, to go all out and make it a race. I totally understand tactical running, etc. etc. etc., but D3 guys this year have a shot at some impressive times if they work together/push each other- I wouldn't be shocked at a sub 4 outdoor mile, a sub 14 indoor 5k, a 9:45ish DMR if everyone races hard. That said: if Sathre can go 8:05 in a 3k, he can go 13:5X in a 5k, pulling a couple guys around in 14:1X. Sathre for the win.
8:05 3K=13:5X at nationals?
nah. i say he wins in like 14:14 or so.

Who's going to break 4 outdoors?
anyone know if there will be a live webcast of the meet this year. i watched last year, but i'm not finding a link anywhere from the ncaa website yet

-- Definitely not saying it's a foregone conclusion, but a couple of the DMR anchors have been timed at 4:02-4:04, and between Scheetz, McCarthy, and Brown, a 4:06 indoor, minus a couple seconds' hypothetical improvement, minus outdoor conversion= 4 flat.
A 4:04.x 1600 split is worth about a 4:07-4:08 mile. And to try and justify any conversion from indoor to outdoor is impossible. Unless there are perfect conditions, being indoors without wind may be more beneficial to a fast time.
There will not be a sub 4 mile time or 1500 equivalent.
