Iowa 2025 Track & Field Thread

5 will break 9:00 on the year.

That was exactly my thoughts as well!

I assume that he was just talking about Dowling so maybe the total will be more like 8.

Not even sure what you mean.

I don’t have any Dowling kids sub 9, Flori could

Zuber

Merrick

Nauman

Dunham

Decker

Top-5 times in the state so far, top 3 of whom broke 9 last year, #4 ran 9:00 last year and #5 is a soph who ran 9:06 indoors and has been running these guys close all calendar year. I would agree these 5 are the smart bets to break 5, and anyone else would be a bit of a surprise.

That’s my 5 but not my finishing order

9:35 made it in.

And if half the field goes out on front pace they will pay and not equal their seed time.

So are heat sheets out?

What year did this not happen?

Now the debate about "half" begins.

About every year from 2012-2018.

Seems to me there’s more of a spread this year, last year it went out faster then I remember in years

And what debate about half?

30 second spread for the qualifiers is normal.

400h entries increased to 24?

Cedar Falls gas to be favorite to win state. Incredible since they won XC.

Does that include field events? Seems to be a thing many people forget. It's called track AND field which awards points for both. Which team(s) have consistently figured this out to where its always a factor?

Are heat sheets out?
