Official 2024 NCAA West Regionals Discussion Thread

three guys pulled up in that heat , whats going on?

Weather delay for tomorrow? Entire meet moved up 3 hours?

Leo is still overrated af

The West 1500m was absolutely loaded. Spencer, Houser, Green, Wascom were all solid. Leo Young got in as a time qualifier from a fast heat, but 6th or 7th place. Oregon did well to get all three of their guys. Their guy who beat Harrison was a 1:48 guy as well, but impressively dropped two seconds from his best Oregon result to run 3:40 in the heat (Tomas Pelfrey).

They need to ban whoever thought straight on POV shots on the homestrech was a good idea.

Seems like Sahlman scratched from the 800 and Nico scratched from the 800 & 1500. Are they both going all in for the 1500 ( Sahlman ) and 5,000 ( Nico )?

This will revive discussion of scratches at nats, nice of those guys to ensure decision was timely to allow other runners to participate.

Why? They didn't declare so there were full 48 man fields.

No Ky in the 10k…we’ll have a new champ this year

my God they're playing Journey during the 10000. those poor kids.

Habtom Samuel said enough of this Sunday stroll and took off. five runners went with him, we'll find out soon if they regret it.

Samuel just dropped from 1st to 14th to help out his teammate. now he's working his way back up. geez, that's confidence.

Samuel win easy. if this wasn't an Olympic year a Nico Young/Habtem Samuel 10000 final would be epic, but oh well.

nice to see Alex Maier finish 11th and make it thru.

in the battle for superfrosh Lex Young beats Tyrone Gorze

25th & 30th, respectively. At least they got to see how real runners compete, i.e., the African contingent.

My bad. Thought they scratched today, since they mentioned it during the meet. Technically that would have been a DNS. All good.

during the east region 10000 the announcer kept name dropping Nico Young as the one to beat at nationals. after the 5th time he mentioned Nico he finally stopped - I guess someone whispered to him Nico wasn't running the 10000.

Unfortunately the 26:52 guy isn't available but we're bringing the 26:53 guy.

It's 12:35 am Thursday in Fayettenam, and the third flight of the men's hammer hasn't started warmups.

Trust me me when you hit lap 19 it is a good thing to hear “Don’t stop believing “
