I'm not sure everyone appreciates just how deep the NCAA 400 is right now. Hell, the 400 worldwide.

But just FYI, this makes him #5 all-time indoors. Only Clement, Johnson, James, and Kerley have run faster. With the exception of Clement (multiple World and Oly gold-medalist hurdler), all sub-44 guys.

May not take long to fill Kerley's NCAA gap in stardom. Special things happening.

In the time it took me to write my previous post, Michael Normal breaks the world-record.

Go figure.

Ladies and gentlemen, there may be at least TWO collegiate sprinters capable of sub-44 this season.

The game is changing.

New CR by Norman from USC. Auburn did not score as high as a result.

VT still in the lead.

Out of top 3 teams, only Georgia has a finalist in the 60H, but he is the slowest seed.

What's sad is how few of these guys will have the opportunity to fully realize their talent with lack of support/sponsorship after college.

50.34 for Kendall Ellis. Collegiate record. This track is fire today.

What? CR in the slow heat in the 400m???

400m madness!!! New women’s collegiate record from the slow heat right after that crazy men’s race

that was APPALLING. they should all be fired. they're absolutely awful.

Why was it APPALLING? Purrier does look on the larger side (and she's got some weight up front too - very unusually for the distance girls). The guy is right - she's a bit on the fat side for such a fast mid-d runner. But then, so is Josh Kerr. Nothing wrong with stating the truth. No need for twisty p-s either when 99 % of people watching are thinking the same.

Surprisingly, they're both fast. Imagine what they'll do when they can drop 10 pounds or so each (just like Muir was a bit pudgy before she became a world beater).

McLaughlin breaks the old 400m collegiate record, world junior record, and gets 2nd. Good lord.

Sydney McC 50.36 for 2nd. New WJR and #2 all time NCAA.

Also just want to state that Lynna Irby ran a 50.87 while running her 2nd lap in lane 2.

American Record

Unreal 400's today. Every heat was ridiculous. Too bad that the fastest runners weren't able to race against each other in the fast heat, that would have been awesome to see

They're not fat - they're very, very thin by normal standards. However, they ARE fat for elite mid-d and d runners though. Expect they won't break in to the world elite unless they both cut weight.
