DMR is awesome def the best indoor event at NCAA's. Might be tough to field teams with the 4x800 and 4x1500 over the weekend I do agree
DMR is stupid. The 400 means squat. The only leg that really matters is the 1600.

It was pretty cool. It all went very well. They should add co-ed relays (2 men/2 women per each team)and really make it fun. Stand outs were Brenda (anyone else think she's kinda hot too?) and the 3 Kenyan milers (Obiri, Kipyegon, Cherono), boy is that going to be a hot race in Eugene next week. If only Genzebe was not ducking Aregawi it would really be something special.
Did not see Leo's race or the 4 x 1500. Not so sure it is as big a deal as folks are making it out to be. They were never winning and they were second with room?
Does anyone know Australian splits..or . can you get to splits or videos anywhere?
Thank you

You can re-watch both days here:

USA women could sweep every event except the 4X1500.
Dominance.
If the top 1500 women from the US competed, does anyone think they could have beaten Kenya? Jenny Simpson, Mary Cain, Brenda Martinez? Plus a handful of other women that could compete if they were in top shape (Morgan Uceny, Trenier Moser, Shannon Rowbury, didn't Anna Willard run sub 4 also?)
I get a message, you cannot view in THIS country

After her performance in the 4x1500m yesterday(4:0x right?)and her 1:57 800m today I think Martinez should go for the 1500/800 double at U.S.A's. With her 5k strength I don't think it would be too much of a stretch especially with how fast she ran solo in her two races this weekend.
I don't want to see her or any women do the 800/1500 double at Nats
While you don't think it's much of a stretch I do.
Why?
After a 800 heat on day 2 she would have to run the first round of the 1500 then come back an hour later and run the semi's of the 800 on day 3. Assuming she gets through those two races---- day 5 see her running the 800 final an hour before the 1500 final.
