That is a record, at least for a conference meet.
Imagine running 7:54 and not scoring a point?!?!

Yep- impressive.
Add to that the top 4 guys from conference didn't run it. Ches, Geoghegan, Gilbert and Jenkins.
It's not really a conference championship despite what they call it. Teams that are in the MPSF have an enormous advantage in the short indoor season with what is essentially a last chance meet. I am surprised coaches from other conferences have not found a way to get rid of call qualifying from the conference meet as it is very unfair to anyone not in the MPSF.
Should say NCAA qualifying.

I understand your point, the competition helps, but how about these same schools running in competitive meets at UW 3 times during the season? That may be more "unfair" than a conference meet. If they ran the conference meet up at Potts at CU or something, nobody would be complaining.
Only 5 of the 21 top 3,000 times were ran outside UW, and two of those were at Milrose. Outside of Iowa St, it seems like an uneven playing field when it comes to qualifying times. Not sure if that's competition, venue, or a little of both.
If teams want to eliminate an unfair ncaa qualifying advantage at 'conference meets', they'll also have to penalize whatever conference has the colorado buffaloes, as without them pushing the pace wire-to-wire, there wouldn't have been nearly as many guys sub-7:56

Every single Colorado kid got out-kicked. They need to work on their kicks more.
They made the race
just like Oregon did last year...so chill. someone has to make the race every year. first time Colorado ever did it...congrats
Colorado can't run track.
And Lane Werley ran the 8:00 in the 'B' heat by himself!
Jake Leingang FR 7:53.82 Thats damn good!!!
Jeramy Elkaim won by nearly 3 seconds over this strong field. He has demonstrated occasional flashes of terrific potential over the last few years but inexplicably seems to routinely fade in the championship races. Perhaps he will put together a great race at the NCAA. Amazingly, he might be only the 4th best 3K runner on the loaded Oregon team (behind Cheserek, Jenkins & Geoghegan).
