Scott Bauhs and Laef Barnes both broke 4 this weekend.
Laef ran 3:59.96
Scott ran 3:59.81
On the National list for Division 1 Laef's time is listed as:
3:41.76
On the National list for Division 2 Scott's time is listed as:
3:42.05
WHATS UP WITH THAT?
off the top of my head i believe that DI useses more factors when adjusting times (altitute?)
UCLA is definitely not at altitudequote]Pencil Neck wrote:

Where they actual splits?
Barnes and Bauhs adjusted times should be 3:42.18 and 3:42.13 respectively. Not sure why the adjustment for barnes is steep.
DI, DII, and DIII all use different conversions. I know it doesn't make any sense, but they do. The same thing goes during indoors...the conversions from 200 meter tracks to banked tracks to 300 meter tracks are different in each division.
Yea it is definitely the conversion, Darren Brown's conversion is better than Scott's aswell. It looks like for qualifying to regionals in D1, the mile is the way to go.
Its wierd because it seems well known that 3:59.99=3:42.22 but I guess NCAA D1 is just backwards.
