Here's a link showing the breakdown by event of each school with athletes qualified for the first round of the NCAA Outdoor.

http://www.ustfccca.org/assets/rankings/div1/2016-otf/DI_2016_otf_ChampionshipEntryLeaders-Prelims-ByTeam.pdf

When you tally the mid-distance and distance people qualified, you get the following for the men:

Arkansas: 13

BYU: 12

Colorado: 12

Mississippi: 12

NAU: 11

Oregon: 11

Stanford: 11

Indiana: 10

Virginia Tech: 10

Michigan: 9

Portland: 9

Washington: 9

Virginia: 9

These schools should be congratulated for getting their athletes to round 1 of the NCAA championships.

The next question should be "Who will get the most to Eugene?".

re: distance powerhouses?

Washington had an incredible PAC 12 meet. We'll see how that translates to the

Big Dance.

How many of these schools have a chance to do anything at the championship meet? 1? Distance centered teams are a waste of track money

Not if you can do well in 800-10k. And maybe get a few throwers, vaulters, or jumpers in there too. It is just a lot harder to win all of these versus having 1 guy that can win the 1,2, and a relay

Even more amazing is that Arkansas has 41 qualifiers into the meet versus Texas A&M with 35 and BYU with 30. I still got to believe that Oregon with 28 may qualify the most through to NCAAs, they already have 2 multis in the meet and are very efficient at getting athletes through to their home meet nationals.
