Didn't Florida win NCAAs last year with only 100m, 200m, and 400m runners? Couldn't win their conference with that but what is the main goal? Nothing wrong with playing to your strengths.

Importantly, they also had great hurdlers and amazing horizontal jumpers.

But yes, one indoor title, they took like 8 guys and dominated, after Arkansas worked them at conference.

To everyone complaining - your bias is showing. Alternatively, you’re also showing you aren’t a fan of our entire sport. There are 21 events that score points for a team. 8 of those are field events and the multi events are more field than track. score points everywhere!

Pepin was an excellent coach before arriving at Nebraska. He had outstanding pole vaulters, high jumpers, triple jumpers, long jumpers and a great decathlete at KU. A competitor like Pepin recognized titles could be won with an emphasis on the field events. That strategy is still part of the NCAA game.
That's been Rovelto's formula down at KSU, and it did work a lot. Unfortunately, the last few years he realized that recruiting takes effort and he'd rather just stay home count his money during NCAAs

Rovelto also invested in middle distance.

re: Pepin yo step

Those corn fed Nebraska boys and girls like the events that require a little junk in the trunk.

Florian definitely has tradition in the jumps and hurdles. However, last outdoor season (2022) they won with only 100m, 200m, and 400m runners.

Smith and then Godfrey were able to get and develop some some quality guys for fractions of scholarship. I'd say Cliff got lucky on those points at the conference level. For every 800/1500 point scored, there's a Eastern European triple jumper on a full ride that got 10th
