Lananna is being selfish to make Jordan Hasay run the DMR, mile, AND 3k!

Nicole Schappert from Villanova is doing that triple, too.

So what?

Well Blood is ALSO doing a triple... 3k, 5k, and DMR.

But young Hasay is only a freshman! Don't want her to burn out!

20 years from now when hasay looks back on ncaas her freshman year she's going to still remember what a rush it was to try to lead her team to an ncaa championship

my thought just changed to: why am i writing this?

Seeing that the 3k is after the Mile and DMR they may not even run her in the 3k depending on how she is feeling after 3 events.

Same reason Galen Rupp ran 3k/5k and anchored the DMR indoors last year when he still had outdoor WCs to look forward to...

And yet after you wrote that you still decided to click on "post message". Are you that stupid?

She has an outside shot at winning the mile and 3k titles... however, this will probably not happen because she is going to be running the DMR, 2 heats of the mile, AND the 3k! And she's only a freshman! Come on, this is just selfish to make her do that...

What is he getting paid for?

Yes I am very stupid, thank you for pointing that out.

And ran terribly at WC's.

Oh shut up, he got 8th place. God forbid Galen be any less than number 1 in the world. I wish I was that "bad."

you might be stupid but we still love you

Pretty sure it all depends how that whole points thing is going... She can handle it; Vin was brilliant by having her do lots of miles and very little speed work so far.

While the men try to repeat, this is uncharted territory for the UO women, who never have finished better than ninth in an NCAA indoor meet.

On paper, they are poised to score in at least nine events.

It will take a team effort, because the Ducks' time in the distance medley relay is their only nation-leading mark.

Brianne Theisen, the reigning NCAA outdoor heptathlon champ, will contend in the pentathlon. Senior Nicole Blood and freshman Jordan Hasay are slotted into two events each -- three if they run legs on the DMR.

"I think we have really good representation across the board," Lananna said, eyeing the women's competition. "I think we look good."

But the Ducks will have their hands full with Texas A&M, Florida and Tennessee. Arkansas also could be a factor, with the Razorbacks competing on their home track.

I'd like to separate myself from that other poster; I approve of what Rupp did last year.

Rupp wasn't going to run too much better at WCs by taking it easy at the NCAA meet. What he bought for that one or two places at WCs was an enormous level of confidence and control over what was previously a psychological block. That was valuable.

Maybe this will be valuable for Hasay, maybe not. I suspect it will, if only because I believe that Lananna and Co. know what they're doing.

How great would it be to try to carry your team to an NCAA title? it's like every athlete's dream. cheers, boys. put a smile on your faces, eh?

"every athlete's dream"?! Only some among the misguided few who buy into the uniquely American notion that athletics is a team sport even believe that.

Greed is one of the seven deadly sins Vin.

It would be much safer for Hasay to run the Mile and a leg on the DMR at this point in her development.

If Hasay is handled correctly she will run 4:09 for the 1500m and 8:54 for 3000m this Track season. However this will not happen if she gets injured.

Come on everyone. The thrill of winning an NCAA team title definitely outweighs winning an individual title. She will have plenty of time to win her individual titles. A true track athlete doesn't mind sacrificing for the team!

What would you do if you were her? Run for an individual championship, which would be unlikely? Or go for baller status? Go for a Ring? Go for it all?

You losers need to stop being jealous.
