Official 2026 NCAA Indoors Championships Day 2 thread

I just rewatched the 3000m and Marco shoulder checked Habtom which caused him to make a little contact with Collin. But Habtom fought with Marco for his space that he deserved and then destroyed them. Marco should be dq and Habtom should be the champ.

Has Jonathan Gault interviewed Marco yet? If so, can sometime do a welfare check on JG? I fear for his safety.

No. You cannot see right. Marco ran into Habtom. Marco should be Dqd and Habtom should be the champ.

You’ve received half of your wish. The female half of the “unholy duo” this weekend was Larra Overton, not Jill Montgomery.

Letsrun has interviews with Colin abd Samuel up in youtube BEFORE the DQ was announced. Colin is disappointed but classy. Wish they had recorded the moment when he found out he win

There is a recording of it on the NAU Instagram page

Unbelievable that Samuel thought he could get away with something like that. He had lost position, this was a race between Marco and Colin after they were leaving Samuel behind. He could stand it watching them go so he pushed one and tripped the other. Pathetic attempt and dirty tactics. I used to root for him, not no more.

Langn looked like he tried to cut him off. Just like he did at BU. Samuel responded

A good think DEIA exists, huh...

All of those saying Marco ran into Habtom are watching on the curve, not the back stretch.

Habtom definately sticks his arm out to block Marco as Marco is passing him on the backstretch. Marco then reacts to hold position and habtom gets nudged into sahlman. Officials got it right, Habtom initiated the contact when he saw Marco was going to get past him or potentially box him in.

I originally thought it was probably Marcos fault but just watched video slowed down. Habt made first contact. DQ was correct. He shouldn’t have tried to put his arm out to impede Marco.

For all of the posters on this forum, great to see the interaction on a truly great meet. But for all us Razorbacks, kudos to Doug Case and his team. I’m sure Chris Bucknam a had a huge hand in getting this group together and thanks for all of your efforts over the years. I’m an old school McDonnell alum. So I am biased. The key to getting all of these Arkansas athletes to perform above their ranking on 2 days is another matter. I truly hope that Doug Case has that tenacity and gift. I realize there will only be one John McDonnell, but those of us who understand, understand.

Been there for the Hogs since early 80s. I get it. I have connections with family, building namesake, many athletes and coaches. I can guarantee that if they say their expectations are to contend and win a title every season, it's fact and the, believe it. The bloodline is long. You can't deny the truth of why a track athlete would go there. They see themselves being a part of a long history of winning. My first hero was Roddie Haley (rest his soul). Oregon had it as well. It's just a very different flavor but its incredible to see a program sustain a winning tradition such as these. Always in the hunt. Oregon men will add the WR holder in the discus to their outdoor lineup. On addition to the javelin, hammer, 400H, 4 x 1 added to the meet schedule, Arkansas might come back to the field a bit in June.

Watch the rise of Kansas St. Look what they have done in 2 seasons. IF you are a Razorback fan, you know why.

Go frame by frame period key (.) to move one frame forward; comma key (,) to move one frame backward.

Did the 600/800 double kill everybody’s legs from the Big 10? Matthew Erickson and Niko Schultz missed the final as well. Clay did the double and finished well though.
