NAIA XC/TF 2024-25

That's an impressive time. Some of those marks shouldn't count. A few are from the Ben Martin meet that didn't have wind gauges for the sprints or jumps.

60 m indoors no wind reading needed

Might be

Other ones

Freiburgs 76 in the jav

Rowan Hamilton 75.98 hammer ( probably the answer)

Rasheem Brown 7.70 60H in the pre covid (so pre super shoe for sprints) era

Only one standard from that meet in the sprints. So doesn't really matter.

The naia does a lot of indoor/outdoor meets across the country on a yearly basis. Better then when Columbia college does a 1 team race walk to get "standards"

I was always under the understanding that the super shoe gave minimal help to sprints compared to 1500 and up.

Once again proving you know 0 about our division yet come and try to trash everyone

Still makes a little difference I assume but probably not as much as the distance races.

200/400 you still get benefits from energy return.

6.59 is insane tough the guy at WC is an impressive short sprints developer

Considering the meet was ran outside using indoor distances it absolutely matters when they had a huge tail wind that day.

When they host the meet outdoors why wouldn't they need a wind gauge.

We are talking about the 6.52 that was run on an indoor track. Yes we all agree any outdoor meet needs a wind reading. Even if its outdoor track for indoor distances. Once again my post was about the 6.52 at Vandy indoor. Thought that was pretty clear but guess not

Distance races go in an oval

So if you have the tailwind on one end you have the headwind on the other side.

Do you know what an oval is?

Really, didn't know that about distance races. I was specifically talking about sprints and long jump that have wind gauges for outdoors. You know the event the majority of the world cares about, not distance.

Will anyone be competing in Boston on January 31 / February 1 as part of the NAIA (especially as an middle or long distance runner)? Or is the level too high there?

Thoughts on NAIA following NCAA and allowing five years of eligibility?

The thing is the NAIA doesn’t have to wait on the NCAA…. They can have 5 years of eligibility; even if the NCAA decides not to. Just need to vote on it. Two separate identities.

Obviously to two different organizations but hand is forced if ncaa does it first. NAIA won't make the first move because they've talked about this for years.

A fast look at TFRRS show that Luca Madeo not race since December. Is Luca even still on the team at University of Cumberlands? I would not be surprised if he quit. He is no match for Milligan legend Bryn Woodall in the 5000 meters.

Even though I don't like cumberlands either, you have to say that Luca Madeo is only a sophomore and Wodall is a senior, so you can't even compare them. Wodall is the fastest senior for sure, but asslouj, madeo and Michael Long (800m) are the best and most valuable sophomore in the naia
