For those of us outside the US, the NCAA in its wisdom blocks our access to their website(s). Is there a way to get the start lists -- not just a list of entrants, but the division into semis and how qualification for finals will be decided? Or am I (and Google) just looking in the wrong place?
Thanks! Don't know why that NCAA site lets me through and others don't. BTW, you may be disturbed, but certainly not highly disturbed...
As a thank you to Highly Disturbed, I offer this little quiz: Which event at the D1 NCAAs has more foreign competitors? To be clear, I am talking about the "Final 24" in Eugene, and only athletes who went to the US for university studies, not those like Ahmed Muhumed, who emmigrated in 5th grade.
Men's 1500
Men's 5000
Men's 10,000
Men's Hammer
Men's Discus
The winner will be offered a place on the hurdles crew at next year's Music City (Nashville) American Track League meet.
Gary Martin and his lady friend already volunteered.
I’m sorry, bit what kind of ridiculous seeding system puts Fahnbulleh, Boling, and Williams in the same 100m heat? Are they using bogus windy results for seeding?
Top 2 from each heat, plus next 3 fastest times advance to final.
IMO Williams ftw—after that, it’s anybody’s game.
I would like to see Fahnbulleh win, in grand style. Maybe, just maybe, he can have some early acceleration?
And remember Maswanganyi from last year? He was on absolute fire. And so many other guys, it’s too close to call.
I would really like to have seen heats-semis-final, to sort out and seed semifinalists based on equivalent results from the heats. I hope this format won’t suck; at least they will have 9 in the final. 🤞
And again in the 200m, JF and MB in the same semi😳
I feel bad for Roman Arthur for missing out on the champs despite tying Devon Achane to the 1000th of a second for 12th.
*Roman Turner
I've never liked how they do the heats at NCAAs. I think they just act like this is the next round from regionals so they use regional times.
Look at the heat 3 of the W 800. Can't figure out how that happened. Basically the 2 fastest firsts, second, and thirds from the regional heats. But the W 1500 looks right, based on regionals.

With Micaiah harris sandwiched in between them. Who ever drew up these assignments is being petty and we might see disappointment come finals

very clever indeed lol
Bump to get this back on page 1.
Wednesday events start at 2pm PST.
results here:
Men's Day has started. Low 70s in Eugene. Should be in mid 60s by the time 10K goes off later. 1500 up next. Decent ESPN stream as well as Peacock doing various field events.
Where can you see who ran each leg in the 4x100 heats? No names on live results.
