Downfall of Stanford Track & Field?

Given that Stanford won the men's DMR in indoors, and have a solid distance program. They also have that Australian guy who is fast in the 400m. So they probably didn't bring their A-team since nobody cares about dual meets.

Stanford track and field won't fall. My prediction is year after year they will continue to get amazing recruits because they are Stanford, and these recruits will tend to under perform in college due to the stress/time commitment of a high-level education.

Cal women also won big. first time Cal swept the big meet in several years.

Cal men did win MPSF indoor, so maybe a dual meet win here is to be expected?

if you look at the 800/1500/3K/steeple results, Stanford was running everybody. not sure about sprints/field events, but maybe Cal is just that much better there right now (they had several NCAA indoor qualifiers).

they dont give a crap....they only care about NCAAs...like you should... Chump!!! find something else to do with your sundays troll.

clearly you did not really look at the entries. there were about 10 events where stanford entered no one. Stanford didnt even run a 4x1 team. Cal ran the 4x1 by themselves.

Alumni care. They don't understand a 15th place in a 10k but they know what a win and loss is. Vin got this.

When was the downfall? When Vin left.

It was embarrassing. The sport is Track and Field. The distances range from 100m to 3000 with the hurdles and field events. Stanford is in danger of becoming a distance dominated program without balance. To be dominated by a Cal team which is still reeling from letting superb jump coach John Rembao go is very poor indeed.

Does Stanford have any 100m sprinters male or female?

Boom. Exactly.

Stanford is rebuilding after they fired Floreal. Stanford will be back. It's Stanford, afterall.

Check out the 1500 race for the mens. Stanford had their top guys running who have run 3:40 or faster and yet some sophomore whose calves are bigger than his thighs wins!!! if thats not the downfall of a program, I don't know what is.

Stanford is leaving the NCAA with 8 other PAC-12 schools. No more hassles with NCAA Compliance any longer. What a relief!

That Australian guy (Steve Solomon) has just been in Australia winning the national title in 45.3 and qualifying for the Commonwealth Games this year.

They blew off this puny dual meet, because that's what champions do.

I am a Stanford alum, and I approve this message.

I hear Lauryn Chatelet is back and she won a triple for CAl!

I'm also a Stanford alum and we got our asses kicked... Vin wouldn't have stood for this

I don't think they blew it off. They had all of their top people running, didn't they? I don't think they are going through a downfall though. Berkeley just happens to be a better all-around team at the moment. Nothing wrong with that.

Stanford has a very limited number of sprinters and jumpers this year.

Stanford gets a top 2 class every single year hell 2nd to Oregon every year but yet are just complete and utter garbage on the track. You would think with the talent they pull on the Men's and Women's side they would at least a decent team. Stanford is where great high school runners go to die. I almost feel bad for Cranny 4 years from now she will have had faster times in High School then she does in College. Is it terrible coaching over training or what maybe both im thinking both. Stanford like Washington makes it's recruits slower in College. i would love to see Stanford and Oregon run a duel meet i don't think the Stanford men or Women would win a single event lol GO DUCKS
