Because this is not an IAAF-run or even IAAF-sanctioned meet. This is an NCAA meet. They will do as they please. Is that right or wrong? Who knows. But it is the reality.[/quote]
I think you'd be wrong about it not being IAAF sanctioned through USATF... or are you trying to tell me that world records, american records and world championships qualifying performances wouldn't be accepted from the NCAA?
I know I'm leaving out Coe here. I think he's been in a bit of a funk following the Mt. Sac injury. Didn't do so hot at Pac 10's or Regionals. I think he'll be in front most of his prelims, but could be the victim of some strong kicks of his heat's other guys.

This event is not a USATF event, and it is not an IAAF event. Having said that, as long as they can ratify the lenght of the track, the distance of the throw or jump, or the height of a bar with a registered official of the USATF (some of whom are on hand I believe), then yes they can stand as records. But the NCAA is not required to follow internaional governing sports body rules. Otherwise, you'd see basketball courts with a trapezoidal key and the 3 pt line would be different.
Maybe sanctioned was the wrong word to use above...but it is not a USATF- or IAAF-run or -sponsored event. Therefore, they may obey their own rules regarding heats.

Should only be two heats and have first four and next four fastest
The NCAA follows its own set of rules. In fact, the NCAA has a few rules the IAAF doesn't, and vice versa.
I think that Wyner will surprise you all. Do not count out a kid whose fire has been lit.
I say Wyner qualifies in a barn-burner.
Heat1: Miller, Emanuel, McNamera
Heat2: Heath, Bolas, McClary
Heat3: Fernandez, Centrowitz, Coe
q: Ulrey, Gibbs, LBP
Heat 1 - Hassan, Miller and Lee auto, McCarthy squeezes in on time
Heat 2 - Bolas, Heath, McClary auto, Ulrey and Boyltan-Pett make it in on time
Heat 3 - Fernandez, Centrowitz, Gibney
McCarthy will medal.
Fernandez looked like he was sleepwalking down the last part. Centrowitz apparently hurt.
WHAT HAPPENED TO CENTRO?!?!?
Does anyone know if and where they have the races to watch as replays? I was out and thus missed 1500 heats but would like toi watch them?
Thanks

Yeah Wyner didn't have it although he closed in 1:55-56. The leaders closed in like 152-3. Sick races at NCAAS all around
