Why do announcers continuously call Michigan "Big Blue"? That is Kentucky. We are the Wolverines. ESPN does this like 50% of basketball and football games as well.
What are you talking about? It looked like he was gonna take the lead on the backstretch and he just couldn’t quite get to the front. Then he was still in position to do well coming into the straight and it looked like he let up when he realized he wasn’t getting anyone in front of him.
Prior to tonight, we hadn't seen a sub-8:20 at NCAAs since 1985 and only 1 man had ever broken 8:19 at NCAAs - Henry Rono. Tonight, three men broke 8:19
The Sub-8:20 steeples before tonight 1978: 8:12.39 Henry Rono (UTEP), 8:18.63 Henry Rono in semis as well. 1979: 8:17.92 Henry Rono (UTEP) 1984: 8:19.27 Farley Gerber (Weber State) 1985: 8:19.27 Peter Koech (Washington State), Julius Korir (8:19.85)

You guys are talking about two separate Bastens. Isaac Basten of Drake in the 1500m and Alec Basten of Minnesota in the steeple
