    Picture it. The week following indoor NCAAs. 20ish one-day dual meets across the country selected by a committee like college football. Call it dual meet week or something and live-stream them. We could designate one as the college track national championship. Give the student body something to pre game. Just imagine Bama pulling up to Clemson and the entire student body is hammered going ballistic for a track meet. Also highlights rivalries in track and benefits well rounded teams as opposed to sending one guy to nats. I think it’s what this sport needs.

    re: Dual.Meets

    How about top 8 performance based team point rankings for a true team meet. Maybe get a few more spectators than coaches and some parents. No student spectator support probably due to either still on spring break or just recovering from it. Better have it in a place that allows free admission or passes out free t-shirts to spectators that show up.

    Still end up like the NFL ProBowl. The better athletes won't come and certainly won't be interested in giving their best effort

    Never mind, it's a dumb idea. Just stick to the system they have in place with individual effort at a championship meet that gives points and trophies to partial team representation.

    The point is, you can't have both in Track and Field. They'll never go for it. Wrestling can do it but not track.

    re: Dual.Meets

    Dual meet between Fresno City and COS in Visalia. next event the 440 yards, coming off the last turn it's FCC Ezunial Burts and Bob Womack of COS neck and neck and they would stay that way hitting the tape as one. After some talk.....tie.

    With the meet tied going into the last event the 4x4 the winner of the race will win the meet. At the final exchange it;s Burts and Womack at it again, coming off the final turn they are neck and neck and it would stay that way hitting the tape as one, after some talk....a tie.

    Ezunial Burts would get into local politics in Fresno, Bob Womack ended up in prison for armed robbery.

    Just the memories.
