Dyestat seems to think Stanford could get the record. How fast can Whittaker go on this anchor? Her PB is 4:36 mile... I'm going to say 4:35 for a debut. Maybe that is too slow, idk.
The record is 10:50.98 from 2009
Phoebe Wright 3:23.18, Brittany Jones 53.51, Chanelle Price 2:03.18, Sarah Bowman 4:31.11
If they have Dudek and things go perfect maybe they have a shot
Stanford running 3 teams, so we get to see some of their depth. Jenks is also very 1200/1600 fast, and they have some good overseas freshmen.
In other news UW Dempsey going too this weekend. UW will attempt to put 8 men (1 unattached) under 4 in 1 heat!
UNM has an inv ladies mile tonight, modest field, but could go 4:33-35. (Gibson/Parsons)
Q: Assume a sea level 4:30 miler goes to NCAA indoor at Albiquirky, what time do they run at altitude?
A feature race on Friday is the distance medley relay. Potent teams lining up for the event include Stanford, Oklahoma State, Florida, BYU, Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida State, and Oregon State. “The Razorback Invitational has been a birthing for the DMR nationally,” said Harter. “The race has a dozen teams lined up. There are at least seven or eight teams that can produce times to qualify for NCAA Indoor. I wouldn’t be surprised if the collegiate record is broken this weekend, but it won’t be us. It should be a great race.”
This year’s edition of the Razorback Invitational features 16 teams and loaded fields across the board. Competition begins on Friday and concludes on Saturday at Randal Tyson Track Center.
This weekend Florida is also running some athletes at the Collegiate Invitational In Gainesville on that new indoor Mondo track. (Let’s see if freshman Bauer can improve upon last week’s 9:57 in the 3000m, etc.)
Florida is hosting a Last Chance meet there on Feb 16, the week before the SEC Indoor Championships in Fayetteville.
Looks like Valby is the only DMR runner for FL who is not doubling. I wonder why they made that choice.
Two of those three are running an additional 800m, and one a 400m.
Regarding Valby, maybe the plan is to go all-in and try and sniff that DMR all-time NCAA record. Their 800 leg might be a 5second upgrade. Can Valby be 5secs faster than last year?

ya but why not take the opportunity to run another mile against good competition tomorrow as well?

No Dudek . . . even if she was racing, doubt she or any other Stanford woman could anchor in 4:30 - 4:31 at this point . . . but, Willis and Whittaker are phenoms . . .

They are but would be needed on 800 and 1200 legs...They have others but will give up a bit of time
I would not put too much emphasis on trying to interpret a message from their Twitter photos. A picture before the Clemson Invite contained Valby and she didn’t participate that meet.
