The Stride Report today, on UW DMR:
"I don't know if they'll necessarily be locks to qualify for the national meet."
Goes home devastated!!!

I'm getting less enthused about NC st's dmr. We'll see Chmiel (my pred 8:55 3k) and Bush (4:33 mile pred latching on to Tyynismaa) tomorrow to get a fitness read, but they still appear to be missing a 400 leg.
I still think now we'll still see an 'a' team at either jdl dmr meet or acc, but probably not both. Then most likely they put in a 'b' team at NCAA, and give Bush, Chmiel and Tuohy their optimal shot at individual placing and more teammates a chance to compete.
NC State has a heptathlete that has run 56 low this season. Or move up a 200 runner. My concern is the 1200 leg - I thought they had Mareno but apparently she is injured and Starliper isn’t back either. Bush would have to run the 800 leg - they don’t have anyone else that could run under 2:05.

Is this even a legit record? They got paced by someone who's not even part of the race?
That was bizarre, not sure how that is legal.

I have seen dmrs with what turned out to be non teams running as pacer on 1st leg. I assume they carried batons. If Cash did not that is odd.

This record should not count because they were paced by an illegal rabbit. You can't have a team start without a baton. That team also never had 3 others on it, you aren't allowed to start a relay with only one athlete.
The 1200 leg single handedly got them the record because the other legs were nothing outstanding.

You're allowed to have a pacer in a relay race?

Chmiel can run 3:20ish. She's run several 3:35-3:39 1600s over the yrs. As a tough competitor getting an even start, she would keep them in the race. If nothing else Chmiel/Tuohy would be happy W/ school and acc records.
Shaw also in mile tomorrow and Starliper???

A crazy time on a crazy track with crazy shoes and we're wonder about batons and pacers.

2:01~ 800m is pretty spectacular also

Anything else in the meet worth posting? I'm too cheap to subscribe to Flotrak.

Alli Cash, who is a post collegiate who trains with UW coach Maurica Powell, was the pacer and did not have a baton. The men’s race at BU also had a pacer without a baton. I was surprised that was allowed but I’ll admit I don’t know the rule.

O'Sullivan's lead-off was, by far, the fastest 1200 leg every run by a collegiate woman . . . and 3rd all-time behind (pros) Heather McLean's 3:14.92 and Ella Donagu's 3:16.02 from last year's consecutive WR races:
However, Thomas' 800 was the not only the 2nd fastest collegiate split ever, it ties (pro) Brenda Martinez for the 2nd fastest split in world history, indoors or out:

There were just 2 DMRs on day 1 - the bulk of the meet is on Saturday.

I suspect they went to BU because Dempsey is not record-legal. It would be quite a downer if the pacer voided it.

In the interview they said they were not really going for the record just a good qualifying time. O'sullivan said she had never run on a baked 200m track before.

Some trivia... was just reading through O'Sullivan's roster profile, and her mom is Sonia O Sullivan, 4x Irish Olympian, silver medalist
