I believe that's the hammer standings.

Oops. My mistkae. Too bad there is no edit post option currently... thanks for picking that out. I figured that I would be making some kind of mistake like that while doing this. lol. Thanks.

When you eliminated the indoor results did you replace them with the best outdoor marks by the same athletes?

Pessala's mark in the Hammer has now gone up to 69.06m (226'7").

There is no indoor hammer event, so all of the listings I have for the hammer are for outdoors.

Also, I did not know that Princeton was having a meet yesterday..., Pessala threw the 69.06m on 5/5 according to DA. It also does not look like it was a complete track meet, since it only has one event listed for the women (discus throw) and 11 events for the men...

The listings I had only included the results as of this past Sunday (5/3).

Hepstrack.com has started putting up the team profiles going into this weekend. Princeton men and Brown women are already up.

Apparently, Brown has their major female sprinters injured:

"But with multi-time Heps champion Nicole Burns (Newburgh, N.Y.) now sidelined with junior Thelma Breezeatl (Manassas, Va.) and sophomore Natasha Smith (Gloucester, Mass.), Coach Craig Lake will look to the throwing fields for Danielle Grunloh (Effingham, Ill.) and Brynn Smith (Saco, Maine) to score big points".

That definitely stinks for them, since some of them have top 10 times at the moment.

Anybody know when entries will be due/posted?

I was asking for all the results listed on Direct Athletics many of which do show indoor results.

That's why I told you of the only result from that meet which altered the table.

I replaced all indoor listings for a given athlete with their best outdoor performances for the common indoor/outdoor events. I stated this when I posted the team projected scorings, and the top ten event performances I listed were what I had used to calculate those scores.

I did not know that was the only item that had changed in the table. I'm a little too busy right now for me to do that comparison and updating right now.

Probably Friday after the coaches meeting, to deal with scratches and whether or not the sprints need preliminary heats.

The Hepstrack site has a preview of the Cornell women, headlining Maduka, so I guess she'll be competing after all. She's been out for a while, though, so I doubt they'd have her do all the events that she's done in the past--maybe LJ/TJ/4x1?

In case anyone wants to relive the excitement of the Indoor Heps before the outdoor edition, here's some alternative (some better, some worse) footage to that of Flotrack's

Annnnd, I'm wrong yet again: the Saturday start lists are up (

) and Maduka is down for the 100/200/LJ (and presumably TJ/4x100 on Sunday).

The 10,000s have 19 men and 13 women. All three-round events have been cut to two, which in a couple events means some crazy, cut-throat heats.

In my opinion, I'm surprised on how similar the entries are to indoor Heps.

C/MR, how's the weather in Phil holding up so far? I'm getting different messages. (Including "possible tornadoes"??? Yikes.)

Hepstrack.com is posting summaries of each event. Does anyone know of a site where the actual results will be posted? Thanks.

Thanks.

Hot, humid, partly sunny but sunny enough for sunburns. No rain yet, and few clouds in the sky as of right now. Currently 78 degrees.

Wind was all over the place today, with tail winds up to 2.8 m/s (beyond legal limit of 2 m/s). However, it is supposed to be windier tomorrow, with a high of 70.

They moved the pole vault around due to possible weather, so the men began jumping at 2:30-ish. But I think there were few problems due to weather today. Nothing was reversed and athletes kept in the shade for the most part. Too bad soda or gatorade in the stadium was close to $4/each!

Tomorrow is going to be very exciting. :-) Hope the hepstrack.com postings are showing it.

At the end of Day One, here are the men's scores (four field events and 10,000):

1) Princeton 37

2) Cornell 33

3) Dartmouth 25

4) Brown 20

5) Penn 16

6) Harvard 15

7) Yale 9

8) Columbia 0

Nineteen points in the 10,000 (1-2-6--times were slow) helped Cornell a bunch, after Princeton scored well in the field.

The 10,000 helped the Princeton women a lot, too. They went 1-2-3-4 (28 points) and ended the first day in the lead:

1) Princeton 41

2) Cornell 30

3) Harvard 25

4) Dartmouth 24

5) Brown 15

6) Columbia 10

6) Penn 10

8) Yale 0

On both sides, Cornell qualified the most from today's preliminary rounds.

I just took another look at Sunday's start lists. One section in the men's 5000, with 35 entries?!

Why do they have a women's 3K and womens's 4 x 800 and no corresponding mens events? I assume the women's 3K is a hold over from when they did not have the steeple but now that they do seems a bit odd to keep the event. I figure I must just be missing the 4 x 800 since I can't think of any reason for it just to be a womens event.
