Official 2024 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Champs - Can Nico Young and Parker Valby complete legendary sesasons?

Not an excuse for not including him in the original preview. It's true he didn't make the final but he was absolutely a dark horse going into the meet.

Happy for Dolan -- squeezes in with the last time q.

So, the question is, do we endure Laura Rutledge or go back to Jill Montgomery?

ARTICLE 2. The referee, after consulting with the appropriate officials, shall
disqualify a competitor who:
a. Flagrantly impedes another runner;
b. In a race run on a curve, steps on or over the lane line to the left with two consecutive steps of either both feet or a single foot;
c. Does not start and finish within their assigned lane; or
d. In a race starting but not finishing in lanes, does not cross the break line within their assigned lane

Why are they doing time Qs tho? Completely arbitrary in an 800 when you have 9 going to the final and 3 heats.

the advantage of being in the last heat of a prelim is knowing what time you need to run to make it to the finals. That 3rd heat in the 800 going out as slow as they did was not smart. weren't their coaches yelling at them to pick it up?

This. Now that they are taking 9, they should qualify 3 from each heat.

Neither. It's not Jill Montgomery or Laura Rutlege I

Laura Rutledge is an American reporter and host for ESPN and the SEC Network. She is an American beauty pageant titleholder from St. Petersburg, Florida, who was named Miss Florida 2012.

This apparently is Larra Overton, who apparently ran distance for Indiana.

Larra grew up in New Albany, IN and attended Indiana University where she was a captain on the track & field and cross country teams, competing in multiple NCAA Championships.

So she is a runner but just doesn't understand it.

Anyone know why 800m is under protest?

Before Heat 3 of the 400h prelims, the broadcast showed how Caleb Ducos of Tennessee got DQ'd from the SEC final for hooking a hurdle. Am I crazy, or did he do the exact same thing on the exact same hurdle as the footage from SECs? Lol

You act like we aren’t aware of what he did at the SEC championships. We know he’s primed for something special.

Holy f**k Shane Cohen's kick is insane. He jogged past what I think was the most stacked 800 heat (heat 1) from way behind like the others were standing still. He's my tip for the W

Hindsight is 20/20

I saw that too... left leg trail going into turn.

It was very impressive, but that may not transfer to the final if someone (Whitmarsh, most likely) goes out and runs 1:44 from the front.

Wanya McCoy - it looked like he was glancing left into the straightaway like a fighter pilot tracking a bogey

What’s up fam, what have I missed so far?

All I saw was Parvej Khan didn’t make it thru the 1500m prelim which made me sad

McCoy asking for DQ from an overzealous official for taking his shirt off on the track. Or is that not a rule anymore?

How about another D3er crushing it? Traore with the top prelim time!

Can Alex Phillip showcase some of the same magic?
