who would’ve thought that a team with zero sub-4 milers until last year would be in the mix in a DMR? great runs by the aggies
I know. It's like Texas A&M has some kind of relay magic. Watching their 4x4 men's team bring it home a couple weeks ago at the SEC conference meet was a sight. Their anchor leg wasn't even a 400m runner, LOL. Usually it's Aumaud Robinson, but they've been mixing it up with Farquarson on anchor, who is a 800m runner.
It's indoor. They ran their best guy on leadoff to get the lead since it can be hard to pass on the tight indoor tracks. Very common strategy indoors.
Heard a report that after Brackens' hurdles heat, he had one more long jump. When he returned to jump, the official would not let him change into his long jump spikes. So he took his final jump in his hurdle spikes and was disqualified due to wearing illegal spikes for the long jump. Even after losing those potential points, his 4th place finish in the hurdles, and the official screw up on the anchor legs of 4x400, USC still won! I was amazed when the results were announced.
