Is Alex Wilson still the mecca or are teams going to Winston Salem this year?

Alex Wilson is still the go to meet. The field is likely going to be the deepest since 2013. Will have at least 2 (might have to split into 3) heats sending 3+ teams to NCAAs.

Alex Wilson being streamed this year?
Who is entered at Alex Wilson?
Who is this Alex Wilson that can qualify for the DMR running solo?
Never heard of him/her but seems like they might be able to score more points for there team doubling mile/3k.

Even JDL acknowledges teams going to Winston Salem are gaming the system with the preposterous 7 second conversion.

Alex Wilson still gets more qualifiers. The flat track conversion is tempting, but I still oversized is the way to go.
Oversize>flat track w/conversion>200m banked
As of today 9:41.23 gets you in the top 12.
I am trying to figure out where the top teams are running this weekend. Correct me if I'm wrong
Oregon: not running
UTEP: conference USA
Virginia Tech: not running
Georgetown: Alex Wilson
Oklahoma State: Alex Wilson
Stanford: not running
Ole Miss: not running
Mid Tenn State: Conference USA
So it looks like half of the top teams are not in action this weekend. They are cutting it close. No real good times have been posted this year. Qualifying is completely open. SUU is running at Alex Wilson and even they have a shot at qualifying.
Michigan who has only posted a 9:54 this year is also trying to qualify at Alex Wilson
Who else?
According to the starting list the Winston-Salem meet will have Ole Miss, Villanova, Virginia, Wake Forest, Arkansas and NC State. So it should be a pretty good race with a few qualifying times possible. Alex Wilson still looking like the deeper race. DMR list may look a little different after today.
Ok, Stanford is at Alex Wilson after all.

With Ole Miss also running this weekend, only 2 of the current top 8 are not running this weekend.
Is anybody at Alex Wilson? The DMR should have started by now.
I see that Carpenter is the anchor for Georgetown. His best mile is a 4:05, however he has now run 7:51 for 3000m. How good is he at the mile?
On the women side, the top 8 at Alex Wilson have pretty much punched their ticket for NCAA
On the men side, Indiana wins with 9:28.14.
Oregon who had the fastest time until today is now ranked 5th.
Stanford, Oklahoma State and Minnesota are now ranked above them.
Surprisingly, Michigan only finished 8th today with a 9:32.13
I doubt that it will end up being good enough to qualify for NCAA.
Ole Miss' 9:34.39 is now the 12th fastest qualifying time.
Michigan's 9:32.13 is now the 11th.
Ole Miss goes to number 1 or 2 with conversion.
Ark and Nova into the top 6? with 7.5+ conversion
