Will the conversion of his 5500 ft 3:43 to 3:38 sea level get him in the 1500 for the trials?

No there will be no altitude conversions in qualifying in the trials, in any events, it is on the website. The time you run is the time that you run. Granted he could run faster at sea level so I think that he should go down and find out, because the NCAA conversions are fairly accurate.
It makes me wonder why more sprinters don't come up to altitude and run because they run faster with less air.
Hopefully at Oregon the pace goes out fast and if Pifer is in the final it most certainly will.
