Official 2023 NCAA Indoors Discussion Thread

Getting experience is good but that's not the main reason that Natalie Cook finished so far back yesterday.

You think she struggled with altitude?

You could very well be accurate but you may want to relax. Seems like you may be following Natalie a little too closely

Cook has around 10K followers on Instagram, so I am not the only one.

Why not drop out? Limping in a 17:20 is far more embarassing

Her coach obviously knew she wasn't in great shape, so why have her run at all? Just keep training in March and get ready for outdoors.

I’m wondering about this too? Doesn’t seem to be a wise choice for confidence and it could have opened up a spot for the next gal in line to get a chance to race. Next person in would have gotten more value

High jump is getting interesting. Texas A&M' Distin seems to have it locked up when she cleared 1.88 and all 6 other jumpers had two misses. Three jumpers ended up clearing on their final attempt to send four jumpers to 1.91.

ESPN+ showing the broadcast stars at 7:55 ET. That can't be correct, right?

I doubt it. The track events (women's mile final) starts in 30 minutes.

Here's a womens 3k prediction.

We learned a lot yesterday in the 5k and I see a repeat here. The Alabama ladies will lead a slow pace w Tuohy tucked in behind. Touhy will move hard w 1k to go and will have to work harder to shake also McCabe, Gregory, Markezich, Roe and Maatoug.

Oregon St and BYU both have 2 runners, but I'd be shocked now to see new faces at the front.
The pack again has 3 w/Bush in for Seymour. Bush looked sharp in the dmr, she will track Chmiel and have a strong finish.

Gregory and Maatoug will be fried from the mile. McCabe, Markezich and Roe will try to hang on to Touhy, but will fail. Chmiel and Bush will move through the carnage.

Result
Touhy in 9:08, McCabe, Bush, Olemomoi, Chmiel, Roe, Chelangat, Markezich.

Garland destroys the Hept record. Owens also breaks Eaton's mark for 2nd place. Great competition.

Here we go, Maatoug in lead
