NCAA entries are out - What to make of them? Official discussion thread.

ok help me out as a newbie looking at this list what exactly does it mean?? Is it ..... The first 48 with the A next to their name are in. Is that final?? Or can coaches now look at the list and make adjustments scratch someone from an event allowing someone else in.? what about an injury in the days/weeks leading up the the meet?

What's the reason to not do the 5k? It is 48 hours after the 10,000.

Yes the top 48 are in.

I think they can only medically scratch people. I don't think you can scratch someone now because you don't like the way an event looks.

Because it's an hour and half after 5000 - and he'd also have to triple at regionals. If it was NCAAs, you might as well enter all 3.

He means an hour an a half after the 1500, for the confused.

This is also why the Hocker 1500/5000 double is remarkable - he's doing it with about 1.5hr rest. But he's shown he can run well in two events. Yeah, there's a semifinal for the 15, but not the 5, and he gets 2 days of rest after the semi.

Will there be a LRC RunningWarehouse Prediction contest?

I'd be very surprised if he wins the 5k after such short rest, though if it's really slow it's possible. This 5k is MUCH more stacked than the indoor 3k. He likely doesn't really care as much about the 5k.

Both events should be incredible though.

I'm surprised Kurgat scratched the 5k. I would have thought he'd have as good a shot there as in the 10k. Interestingly his teammate, Kiptoo, is entered in both. Weird.

He got humbled by the Oregon guys and Kurgat in the 5k so no surprise.

I find it interesting that Hocker is doing the double but not Teare. They are quite equal in both events.

Sub-3:40 1500m is qualified as far back as 21st. Unreal.

Ironically it is Nico Young AKA Future GOAT

Wait when and where did Nico run 3:39? I don't remember this at all and fastest I can find for him is like 3:43/3:44

Why in Gods name is Mu scratching the 800 AGAIN? She better not choke again or it’s gonna be FUNNY.

Altitude conversion.

400/800 double 15 minutes apart would be pretty tough... and 4x4 but it would really suck for her if she doesn’t win it. Definitely seems more reasonable for her to run away with the 800 but who knows.

Team scoring. Let's assume she wins either the 400 or 800, but by entering the 400 she pushes down all the USC 400m runners down a position, so they'll lose points (3,4, more?) from their team total.

Mu is ranked #1 in two events and a 3rd with the 4x4 relay. Much more rest for the 4x4 if entered in the 400 as opposed to the 800.

Expect her to run the 800 at the trials.

Where are the declerations? I don't think those come out until later today. It looks like what is available is just a drop down list of athletes in consideration. It matches the tfrrs performance list.

Look next to their names
