Regardless of it being a slow or fast race, I don’t see Birnbaum being competitive after emptying the tank last night. Couttie has no chance either.
You never know. Wasn't Birnbaum 3k/5k champ at Big10s? I've a certain someone from Oregon anchor the DMR to victory about 40 minutes after winning the 5k.

14 ENORMOUS points for Oregon. This team title might end up closer than expected. Will have to see how the Illinois triple jumpers.
wTJ is done, Illinois did not score.
Didn't spot that. That's gonna hurt!

Sadie did a good job of getting out, but that was a lot to work through.
Closed in 58.6. Probably didn't position the best but 3rd in a tactical championship mile is great for a freshman
ya she ran kind of a hockeresque race. and honestly she did push through a couple different people. She was the fastest person in the race, but Nielsen having run the DMR is very impressive here.

Sadie Engelhardt closes in 28.4 for 3rd. May very well be the fastest last lap ever, at least one of the fastest much like Sahlman’s last night
This is like the 3rd straight race that she's let herself be either boxed in or towards the back with 200 to go. I get she has a nasty kick but the talent of the other women finally caught up to her for leaving it that late

Oregon is a strong favorite now. Projected to score 47 points to Illinois's 42.6.

Actually including the 1500, Nicki and Sinclair have both gone faster, but for the mile I think it’s the fastest ever.

NCAA is such a joke. 25 year old winning is the equivalent of a 21 year old winning a high school state title. I can’t even fathom the amount of money and opportunities lost to true American college kids due to overaged foreigners

Dang. Even with Nielsen going from 4th to 1st, Sadie ran the fastest last 400 and the fastest last 200.

Gary Martin with horrible tactics.

Couttie just pulled a hocker to squeeze on the inside

Wonder if that cut-in from Couttie will get him DQ'ed

McFarland could have won that sh**.

Gary ran the whole race in lane 2.. and has his form always looked like that? The bobbing back and forth..not efficient.

About 600 meters out I said "whoever has pole going into the last lap wins this", which is exactly what happened. If you're in the mile final getting that HAS to be your priority.

wonder if he just goes to the 5k as a pro. I have a hard time seeing him excel in a championship style 1500 to make a US team against some of the current american men when he hasn't done it in college.

I thought McFarland was going to win! Even though he was last. I thought he was going to go from last to first. Almost.

Cutting ran a perfect race.
