Penn Relays DMR Rankings

bump...

Heard in the PennRelays 4xmile rankings that Peter Callahan (Princeton) may not be running.

Are we sure BYU is running this one?

It looks like BYU is entered in the DMR and 4 x 800 but not the 4 x mile. Also, Coach Eyestone mentions the DMR in his interview....

Ok, gotcha.

I bet BYU will eek out the win over Arkansas

PSU should order it Loxsom-Gehret-Foster-Borchers

That'd probably give them a 2:54-46.5-1:47-3:58 or 9:25. You could flip Loxsom and Foster and probably end up with the same result.

My picks:

1. PSU

2. ARK

3. BYU

That makes no sense. Foster the best miler on the team and you'd run him on the 800? Loxsom (400-45.5, 800-1.46.4, mile - 4.25??) and you'd run him on the 1200? Borchers, the most inconsistent guy on the team and you'd anchor him and claim he's going to run a PR? Pleassssse. As malmo says "even idiots have opinions".

The only way they win it is if Borchers stays in it, Loxsom closes down any gap, and then Foster beats out the other anchor legs. Not a completely unlikely scenario as he was 3rd and only half a second behind Batty at indoor NCAA's.

My tip though: none of these guys run it.

If BYU is running I can't see a scenario when they lose, even if Batty is 30 meters back. Unless Arkansas gives Phillips/Ulrey (whoever anchors...just like 4xmile) a 4+ second lead and the anchor takes it out hard so Batty has to really run to catch up...Batty will win.

Indoor mile champ, DMR champ, just ran 3:36 and almost beat two great pro's...hard to be against that. Unless the scenario I just provided happens.

Chance of winning:

BYU - 75%

Arkansas - 15-20%

All others - 5-10%

BYU may have a great miler but that is only 40% of the race. BYU's other 60% (1200/800/400) will decide the race.

To say Dorian Ulrey needs a 4+ second lead on Batty is a bit ridiculous. Batty seems to be in better shape right now, but Ulrey is a talent and a fighter. If he has 4+ seconds, I'd hope he would be able to pull off the win....unless Wheating was still around.....

Not really, on other legs decising anything here.

I do not see a clean break away in this year's event

And PSU would never anchor Borchers, not in a hundred years.Not if Foster is on that squad. They might lead Borchers off to Brady Gehret, to Loxsom to Foster?

That is a squad who should be there to final 300M at least

Anyone think that if the anchor leg bunches up, UVA has a great shot?

100% yes
