You gotta feel for Indiana sophomore Rikkoi Braithaite. He ran 10.10 today and didn't make it to NCAAs.
Yes, it was windy aided (+3.2) but that's still a 10.25 at 0.0 wind.
Actually, the fastest performance if you factor in for the wind that didn't make it belonged to Purdue freshman Marcellus Moore. He ran 10.12 (+1.6) which is a 10.0 at zero win.

You had positive wind readings for both, and then added time to one and subtracted time from the other to get their basic times.
You are a poster child for legacy admissions being a broken system.

A small School (HBCU) that has been a MAJOR Sprint Power the last few years, my guess is their performances will attract some Blue Chip High Schoolers, My guess is they have a REALLY GOOD COACH as they probably can't compete with SEC, Big 10, Big 12, ACC, Pac 12 etc. Though that could change with these kind of Performances, Look for them to Break USC's NCAA record of 2:59.0 by going 2:58 or even 2:57 at NCAA

Damn! Beat me to it. I was going to post this exact thing. The "super shoe" hype is so overblown.
The real reason for the NCAA times being so much faster is a combination of a free training year and virtual classes making it much easier to train.
The WR going down last summer is almost 100% due to wavelight pacing. Not super shoes.
2:57?????? Calm down, Douglas.
You are right. Their 4x400 is incredible.
What is that peptide's name again... ...
The Speed pPeptide
It's use has become widespread and
Ever more easy to get hands on compared
to even 3-4 years ago and affordable.
Makes young run like old and vice versa.
Think of that recent youngster in 1500m
Ncaa is filthy Dirty especially the sprints
peptide use has become chronic but not a whisper from wada or iaaf .,. .,. Wonder why.
Not to mention got to contend with newer
peptide that benefits muscle contraction
,won't name it
but see obvious offender in 200 m.
Did I mention ncaa track n field
is dirty rotten to core .
Do not be deceived ... ...
I get the point you're making, NCAA sprinting is (and pretty much always has been) insane.
However, your extrapolation of a 10.12 with a +1.6 wind being equal to a 10.0 with zero wind (i.e. less wind, faster time) makes absolutely no sense whatsoever
what are you even talking about!?!?!?!
Either name it so people know WTAF you talk about or keep jibbering like a mental person!
My question is where do all these athletes go?
As an outsider of the American system, you have these great super athletes and then.........
is it Burn out?
Most simply don’t have any way to support themselves as athletes and retire. The uber-elite performers will get 2-3 yrs to prove they can medal. The rest fall by the wayside.
Well, we had multiple guys run sub 13:30 and not qualify. Most years those guys would win but now not in top 24.
