Who has the best NCAA DMR in 2022?

Notre Dame

Washington

NAU

You are missing the best DMR in the country in Notre Dame. Nuguse is the best miler in the NCAA and the DMR always comes down to the 1600 leg anyway. Dylan Jacobs has run 3:57 so they should be close enough on the 1200 leg for him to win. 

Jason Gomez of Iowa state ran arguably the fastest 1200 leg ever against hocker last year

Who gives a sh** about an event that is not contested at 90% of the track meets because teams long ago didn't bother to enter a team. Teams literally run the race once or twice a year, maybe 3 if you count a "B" team at the conference meet for the so called top 12 teams who happen to qualify for the NCAA Championships.

Get rid of the DMR, the least contested event in the sport ever.

My favorite event.

Wisconsin will be good. ISU, Michigan, and Michigan St. will qualify.

Texas wont run cruz or yaseen

They will run their true MD guys, crayton carrozza and yusuf bizimana, both who are 1:46 800 guys / NCAA 800 finalists

Carrozza also has a 3:55 conversion so he will take the mile spot

People care about the DMR because its basically a dick swinging contest of who has the best MD squad

SMH. There is a 400m leg in it, which is not mid distance. Also not a true relay. 2 legs run 70% of the race.

Just bring back the 4x8, its is much more exciting.

The DMR is one of the most prestigious relays. It represents who has the most well rounded mid-D team. And yes, the mile and 1200 legs make up a lot of the race, but the 800 and 400 legs are crucial for positioning. Not to mention it is a super exiting race to watch since a lot can change on each leg.

Prestigious compared to what? In indoor, there are only two relays, the DMR and the 4 x 400. The 4x400 is clearly one the most exciting events in the whole meet which is why it closes the show.

Yeah Notre Dame is the team to beat, I would bet Neguse runs the DMR/3k double. Dylan Jacobs is interesting... 3:57 mile in Jan but just ran a 13:14, so he may opt for the 5k or 5k/3k double if he runs a 3k qualifier which his mile/5k times suggest he can run in the 7:40s.

I think Ole Miss is the best team.

This same four ran 9:20.75 last year.

Men's DMR - 2021 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship

Oregon shattered the meet record for the Distance Medley Relay with a time of 9:19:54 at the 2021 NCAA indoor track and field championship. The Ducks fell behind early but Charlie Hunter put them into first place entering the...

Garcia Romo and Rivera have run PRs this year and they have two transfers they can plug in who could be faster than Smulders.
James Young 3:37.72 / 3:55.20
Shane Bracken 3:41.53 / 3:57.57

If they run their best team they should be the favorites but last year they let Suliman concentrate on the mile so they might do the same this year with Garcia Romo or Young.

What about the women's DMR??

I know this is a DI thread, but look for UW-Parksides DMRs to shake things up, especially on the women's side. Two sub- 4:55 milers, a 2:09 800 and a solid 400 leg. Provo'd last week without their usual 800 leg. GV and SVSU girls could be in for a shock at GLIAC indoor

Ole Miss or Notre Dame to me. Garcia Romo can probably split 3:52, and Nuguse can probably split 3:49. Advantage Notre Dame.

Ole Miss, and ND are deadly this year. I think ND also has 3 1:48.x guys, one of them has to be able to stretch to 12? Maybe they go Naguse on anchor and 3K?

Its a really tough trip to go long leg (12or 16)on DMR, Mile Prelim, mile final...it can be done but it ain't easy.

Voelz 1200.

With Jacobs running 13:14 I really don’t see how ND could justify putting him on the relay, so I think Ole Miss is the favorite. Even if Voelz runs the 1200m they would struggle to keep Yared close enough in my opinion. But I look forward to seeing if they run Jacobs this weekend and throw down a fast time!
