Official 2018 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Champs Day 1 Discussion Thread

Oregon races well at NCAA.

Third in the men's DMR with their B team.

First in the women's race with good, but not necessarily great, athletes who were ready to race.

Let's see tomorrow

Dwight said that Josh Kerr was saving himself for the mile when it was clear that he was in agony.

should have used brown in the mile

Anyone know where to see official results?

4:38 last 1600 for Schweizer!!

Why are the mile results still not up? And why is this announcer referring it to 440 and 880 yards? Is this 1970?

Because it's a MILE run, not 1600. So quick to judge, yet so ill informed.

pretty lame from Kerr....he's run fast enough that he could have won....really don't like to see someone just not try because it won't be easy to win....

Disagree. May as well pack it in instead of gassing yourself for 6th place and screwing yourself for tomorrow.

Team success vs individual success. Make your choice. John McDonnell would have been throwing chairs, and would have made me walk home. I definitely wouldn't have wanted to be in the Monday AM team meeting.

And this was brought to his or her attention hours ago. So slow to correct yet so full of oneself.

They should have the 5000 and DMR on Thursday night so there can actually be a race instead of a training run.

I’m guessing it was a combination, because initially I thought he was just hitting the brakes to save himself, I even thought I saw a little hand motion potentially for a coach but I might’ve just been seeing things because Kerr looked like he was in a world of pain.

Someone definitely fell in the girls 800 but it was her own fault as she ran up on t he person in front of her. I don't remember anyone falling in the men's race, but maybe.

Wait, what? You call it the girls' 800 and the men's 800?! How about the women's 800 and the boys' 800?

...or, you know, the women's 800 and the men's 800. All of these athletes are adults. (Do we really need to have this conversation???)

Three of the Virginia Tech DMR runners ran the mile against Kerr (same heat).

None of them looked like they gave up. Vince did enough to keep the VT team in the game in a chaotic 1200m handoff. Patrick Joseph blew the race open after the 800m. Neil Gourley shut the door on any potential rallies.

The attention given to Kerr really irks me. The dude is talented, but y'all are making excuses for him.

What a bunch of lame athletes compared to swimmers. If your only race is the freaking 5000, go for for it instead of jogging and giving the W to Justyn. Unbelievable. Watch the NCAA swimmers next week and watch the real men.

You run 13:45 (or faster) in February and then go out and pace 15 other 13:45 guys for 4200m and then promptly get your doors blown off. If anyone's at fault it's the BYU guys for not playing to their strengths and trying to run a decent pace their teammates could close well off of.

ACC kills it in DMR.

BYU can't finish. Why don't they push the pace? They know they can't outkick. Umm. Coaches???
