1st day of big 10s. A couple of RECKLESS moves by the Oregon men.
in the 5k, Burns moves to the outside with no regard for human life and takes out 2 dudes behind him
DMR 1200 leg, Oregon tries to slide on the inside with no room…rolls around on the track and fortunately no one else goes down but could have bowled over at least a couple guys.

Should they have been DQ’d??!?!!
Their 1200 leg has had the worst dmr luck I’ve ever seen. Dqs the team 6 days ago has to travel to Boston to get it done, then wins the race in one of the fastest dmrs ever. Goes to big 10s and absolutely runs a masterclass race of what NOT to do in a race. What a whirlwind. I’d be scared to run him at nationals with the chaos he has the potential to produce.

What a douche
He commented under the Runnerspace post on Instagram saying something like “softest DQ of all time get these geriatric legally blind officials out of the sport.” Looks like he’s just as arrogant as he’s always been. Get humbled loser. Grow up.
Insane tactic deciding to jump 6+ spots on the inside through a torpedo launch all the way to the lead, during the middle of a DMR leg no less. Passing is indeed more difficult on indoor tracks but this was an outrageously reckless attempt

beyond reckless move. did he really think he was gonna jet past on the inside and build some insurmountable lead midway thru a DMR? he's lucky nobody else fell otherwise he certainly would have been DQ'd.
Reminds me of what I see frequently during the high school indoor season. Only difference is it’s 6 min milers running their first indoor meet and not some of the best dudes in the NCAA who have ran hundreds of track races deciding they can dive bomb the rest of the field bc they have superior talent

Meanwhile Michigan’s McFarland turning the DMR final leg into ‘Edward Cheserek 2015 4xMile at Penn Relays,’ and it actually worked
also just slap the Oregon guy on anchor, he was anchor at Boston but first at big ten and u ark
I wouldn’t call that bad luck, they must not be teaching him much about tactics. Seems like he’s a solid runner but should know better if he’s going to be running at such a high level.
As for Burns, a boneheaded move and the comment on Instagram makes it even worse. When he learns some humility, I think he could have a successful career.

I had to watch it on a tiny screen and couldn't really see exactly what happened with Burns. is it clear in the video that what he did was egregious?

he moved out and 2 competitors got bounced out and/or knocked down
I can't speak for officials, but in cases where a runner impedes or causes others to trip/fall in front of everyone, there is just no way you won't at least be considered for a DQ. Even if it seems "soft", if it's dumb obvious a fall happened because someone got in someone else's way, it's just a blatant violation of some rule, so you will be DQ'd.

Cook was the anchor in Arkansas. The kid who got them DQed was the anchor in Boston.
