can he close on a 3:36 pace? Can he even run 3:36? If Messaoudi or Essayi wants it to be fast it may not matter how well he can kick

Don't know, unless someone carves out their own way ala German Fernandez,,, I am not sure someone is running 3:35/36 from the front. I know two days ago, some un named poster on here was saying I was an idiot and Strand would dispose of him with all of his kicking speed, well we saw that show, right? Murphy walked away relatively easily. Messaoudi and Essayi have run much lower, so I agree now ,that they would be favored, in a race from 3:38.5 up, so still the chalk? We shall see, I guess. I never thought Murphy would ever be near this good, so I was already wrong, and have been before LOL.

I've never seen so many falls & injuries in three heats of the 110s - almost an entire heat's worth. Some serious $hit luck today

Was pretty windy during 110h heats

how is this fair? wrote:

Why does Penn State get to have so many people in the 800? Of course they'll end up with someone making the final when they get to have 4 people in the event while most other schools only get one.

Strand won ACCs in 3:38 with a 53.3 last lap. I thought he'd take it today based on that but holy crap Murphy crushed the field. Is he the nova guy who won the Penn Relays 4xmile with that crazy kick? The 1500 is going to be fantastic at nationals.

+6 wind in the 1st and 3rd heats. Totally messes up your hurdle cadence. Might as well switch the direction to a headwind at that point so people don't fall.

Still just doesn't seem fair with limited spots. Seems like there should be a limit of maybe 2 per event.

They are running into a headwind, but headwind or not, that much wind throws everything out of whack. I saw during one of the breaks how much the wind was whipping some of the tents. That & a flag are the only ways you can visualize the wind. Rough environment to run in, but that's part of outdoor track.
