Has the 1500 ever been this deep for the region... I mean last year 3:47.xx made it to regionals. Right now 48 is 1:46.44 and 80 is 3:47.25 and conference meets are still to come.
It seems to me that this event is unbelievably stacked this year... What do you think it will take to get to regionals or nationals?
I haven't looked at the numbers but one things that might misleadingly make this year look faster than last year is that you haven't cut out all the runners who are in the top 48 for 1500 that will be doing different events at regionals. That probably won't be 32 people but it could be a good 10 or 20. Still, I've been incredibly impressed by the quality of performances this year.
It will also be hot in Austin the last weekend in May. I expect a 66 second first lap. Anything faster and I'll be disappointed.
