Alex Wilson Entries

Boo Wendy, boo

Anyone able to see or find Alex Wilson entries?

With last chance meets eliminated, I would think this would be it for hopeful DMR or mile Q'ers, with conference meets being mostly tactical affairs?

wow, this is pretty light this year

and I guess Oregon thinks they are good with their 9:32.xx?

U dub and oregon will run a dmr time trial at mpsf next weekend

Nonetheless neither will qualify unless oregon runs Cheserek and he doesn't mail it in like he did did in Corntucky when they ran 9:32

From what I gather, Ches would only need to break 4 flat if they get what they did earlier to run sub 9:30

9:30 looks to get you in almost every year, this year for sure, I think 9:30.xx will get you there, 9:32,xx after tonight might leave you on outside, altho the even is not nearly as deep it seems this year.

I don't think it is as hard to get in now that they've canned the last chance meets. I doubt 9:32 is bumped out after this weekend, and as has been said Oregon will take care of business at MPSPFSPF

Oregon is at 7th in 9:32.61 on an OT

Not so sure that is safe

How many will they take 10?

4 more could go that fast or better at ND this weekend., could happen

at least they will know what the number is prior to next week

Seriously? 12 teams get in. I thought that was pretty common knowledge. Arkansas and Stanford are already ahead so they are irrelevant. That means 6 other teams would have to run faster at Wilson. And then Oregon would just run what they need to next week.

in 2012 there were 11, Nova fell and DNF'ed

10 finishers

I knew I got it from somewhere

So, not sure why there were not 12 that year, but there were not

Whereas in 2013, all 12 of the NCAA qualifiers in the men's DMR came from Alex Wilson. Texas thought they were guaranteed a spot since they had the #1 time going into that weekend, but I believe they got knocked down to 13th.

Yeah, but that's changed a bit with Wilson moving from a last chance meet to it being the week before conference. Only half the qualifiers last year were from AW times.

I'm guessing Oregon will be 11th or 12th after the meet. Any other people want to hazard a guess?

Oregon is 10th thru Saturday night and looks to be in with their 9:32. Washington might run a competitive team at the MPSF meet with Yorks on the 1200, Daigre on the 800 and Gilbert on the 1600. But Daigre has not been sharp this winter and they would probably have to solo unless Oregon wants to help them. Stanford has no need to run. No else in MPSF has the parts for 9:32 in that meet.

There is the Boston last chance on Sunday the 1st. Is someone like Columbia going to run there the day after Heps to try to qualify? And who else would help them push the pace the day after their conference championship with travel to Boston?

The UCS Invitational results from JDL Fast Track should be posted to TFRRS in the next hour and there will be two entries (Va Tech and Duke) who will be posted at 9:28 and 9:29 with the flat track conversions, moving a few of these teams down two slots.

On the women's side, NC State will hit TFRRS at 11:04ish after running 11:11. UNC ran 11:10 without the conversion but were DQ'd for stepping out of the exchange zone on one of their hand-offs.

Duke ran 9:36 at the Armory in an incredibly fast field, any conversion that gets them or VTech to anywhere near 9:30 is a travesty, Duke ran slower yesterday than they did at the Armory, just showing how stupid any conversion like that would be.

No conversion possible can get a 9:36 team to 9:28

it is absurd , most of the race is run in lane 1 to into lane two, banked track barely helps at all, especially after 1200 is handed off and runners dip into lane 1-2 the whole way

any conversion of that magnitude is completely absurd

You cannot make a 9:37 team a 9:29 team, or a 9:36 team a 9:28 team when there is no way on earth they could run that , not with roller blades on

You think VTech has the parts to run with Nova. Gotwn and PSU? Please...

Well, two teams are getting screwed! Illinois and columbia

Heps is 2/28 to 3/1, with the DMR being contested on 3/1. It'll be on Harvard's banked 220yd track, but I don't think any national qualifiers will be run at that meet (as their top-relay members would have already contested individual events earlier in the meet).

I guess I missed the part where these conversions were a secret. Somehow, I felt as though these astute coaches would recognize the conversions were off, based on the lack of quality performances from flat tracks in the tfrrs database, and would have planned to take advantage of it like the teams at JDL did.
