Official NCAA 800 Meter Semi/Finals Thread

You forgot Greer of Oregon, he was a close third last year in 1:45. Loxsom never comes off well in big races.

touche. Greer will most likely be 3rd

You heard it here first....Soph Sam Ellison from Villanova comes in the top 5 in the NCAA final!

Top 5 order will be:

Jock

Martin

Evans

Ellison

Loxsom

I agree with Jock's victory at least.

Last year he basically led from the gun, and none of the so-called "kickers" (excluding Andrews), actually had the kick left in them to beat him

Evans ftw.

Don't forgot about E. Greer!!!

Jock

Martin

Kemboi

Greer

West

Beach looked good and I thought he was going to qualify up until the final 20 meters or so. Does anybody know if he jumped before this race?

My boy Cam Loxsom didn't make the finals :(

Well, he's in 6th place in the first LJ flight at the moment and they've gone through 3 of 6 jumps. So yes, he probably jumped before the 800.

Man, fast semi-final heats. 1:46.62 doesn't make the final.

1 down, 1 to go.

Curtis Beach just did the 800 and long jump and no decathlon.

What are the odds of him making the team in the decathlon? I assume he's saving himself for the OTrials?

What's up with the guy who ran 2:11? Did he get hurt?

WOW cas loxsom got screwed so hard with his heat assignment! that is ridiculous...
