The mens is a mess, hopefully it will be fixed later tonight.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

GO MSU!

Anybody know the men's 3K results?

I know it's way unofficial, but I just talked briefly to a friend at the meet and he said Brandon Bethke won the 3k. Wisco had 3-4 athletes in the top eight.

Any word on how Hassan Mead finished?

why did withrow end up so far back? hurt again?

I think the question now should be, why was Withrow ever up front?

Strange race. Out in 74 for first 400 then a Minnesota kid (McFarland?) and Williams took off and opened it way up. They had a good 30+ meters on the pack. Bethke, Mead, See and Hoerr broke away from the rest of the pack going after Williams. Hoerr fell off the chase pack at about 2k. Eagon and Lacy worked together to come from way back. Williams faded. Maybe Withrow wasn't ready for a race like that with the pace changes? Second day should be interesting. Badgers looking great!

yeah, that's weird. I would think that eagon and withrow should be able to go 1-2 in that conference.

You do realize that the guy who won just broke the record of Solinsky (who had just beaten Tegenkamp's record), and he is only a soph. Eagon is not in the type of shape to race well and I would be surprised if the plan was for him to run at NCAAs (he did not do the two meets with the Q efforts, just the Big Ten for points). The Big Ten meet is going to be tough because different schools have different strengths and there are probably 5 teams that could win it. MN guys did well in both the 3000 and the DMR and looked better than everyone but the top Wisco guys. Mead and Rombaugh looked pretty good and they are pretty nice guys on top of that. Other than those two races and the vault MN did not do too well, but they got as much out of those three events as they could possibly have hoped for.There is a change of the guard in the Big Ten as the assumed super studs from the beginning of the year (Lex, Trent, Withrow, Eagon, etc) are not only being pressed by the great underclassmen, they are being outright beaten.Wisconsin is going to miss the points in the sprints that Omole put up (e.g., 4-time 100m champ) - they had no one in the 60/200 at all.

Nevermind, you were probably talking about his 7:51.

Wisconsin will win easily.

Purdue has 2nd locked up.

The you have OSU, Michigan, and Minnesota.

I love how everyone underestimates the Badgers (think back to cross country and Michigan?)

Bethke looks pretty good...
