Oregon has a legitimate shot at winning everything from DMR - 5K at indoor NCAA's

Granted, this is not likely to happen. However 800 is very likely 3K-5K are very likely Mile - Rupp and Wheating skipping it (Wheating could have won, who knows maybe Rupp too) but Centro has a time right up there with the leaders and has a pretty strong last 100m. DMR - Hard to know who will run this for them, but with Ulrey declaring in the Mile and 3K he may be spread a little thin. He'll have the mile qualifying before the DMR on day one, and still have to have something left for the mile final and 3K on day two. Will rupp run the 800 and put Wheating on the 1600 final leg? Should be fun watching the boys from Arkansas and Oregon doubling and possibly tripling up on events to help the team. I have to say I was surpised that Chelanga couldn't get in a last chance 3K. He was the obvious contender to Rupp in this, with Fernandez next and then Coe. With Chelanga and Fernandez out that makes Rupps job easier. The down side for Rupp is Chelanga might make the 5K a fast one since he has nothing else to save for, making day 2 for Rupp a little tougher.

The air conditioning has already been turned off for the teams coming in from the Northwest by the A&M staff.
Oregon won't be able to handle the heat and humidity, unless Phil Knight made the track team those special cooling vests like he did for the football program?
The Aggies will be serving "Fried Duck" Platters at 8:00pm after the 4 x 400 relay in a tailgate party in the parking lot.

1. Texas A&M

I have no idea how you are compiling your points, and have no desire to try it. I'll let the events sort it out. I know one thing though, none of the top 5 teams you listed have a chance to sweep all the distance events like Oregon does. Which of course is what this thread is about.

Oregon coach Dan Steele would be happy with a top-10 finish ... NOT, haha -- a realist, no doubt.

Wisconsin distance running has fallen off the map.

They're still in it. Mile is not likely and they were very luck to squeak Centro in, but I bet not many thought they'd win the DMR, especially with Rupp as anchor.

Wheating and Rupp DO look good for their respective events tomorrow which is 4 out of the 5 and insane, but that mile is open for any of at least 5 to take.

Ulrey looked tired and Knoll was one of the fastest qualifiers and he's out.

Who knows.

No, amazing is that someone would pose as a different poster to agree with your previous post. Pathetic and cowardly.
