Why do some people (like announcers on TV today) have to add “Lady” before a team name? Like “Lady Longhorns”? That’s not even the name. Do they say “Gentlemen Longhorns”? What is the point? And why “Lady”? C’mon. These are great athletes. Simple as that.
The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's team is called the "Stags" and the women's team is called the "Athenas." My son said the men's team should be called the "Athenos"! Food for thought.
As for the decathlon, it's been reported in another thread that Leo N has the highest 8 event decathlon score in history. He has 7622. The WR is 9126. So he needs 1504. I put his pbs (58.99 jav and 4:42.68) in for the final 2 events and he'd only get 1387. If he was going to make it all up in the 1500, he'd need to run 4:24.55.
Now with the discus done, what does Leo need in the 1500m for a decathlon world record? 4:35? Could be close…
I can't believe it took a 2:00.87 to make finals. That's just not even fair. A 2:04 or 2:05 used to be safe for finals. The level of depth in the 400-800 and 4x400s is crazy.
Yes, 1500m too... 4:09 this year.
Ramsden might not win an easily as everyone thinks!
This reminds me of 2018 or 19 when Jess Hull looked unbeatable but Sinclaire Johnson was better than anyone realized (yet)
I know LSU is in the title race but I am so sick of him saying LSU runners missing out on finals is a “disappointment”. A good chunk of them did well to get to this meet but are NOT contenders. Like, it would be a shock if some of them DID make the finals!
