So Oregon has 7 events/ladies left Lsu has 5 left

That's some excellent math.

Oregon 1,500 Hasay---------------------LSU NO ONE

Oregon 1,500 Friday --------------LSU NO ONE

I'm thinking once Oregon subs Theisen for Gosberry in the 4 by 400 that will take a second or 2 off of Oregon 4 by 4 giving the Ducks the win over LSU in the 4 by 100 thinking LSU Will take 1st in the 4 by 100 Oregon second So basically Oregon needs Friday,Hasay,Kolinski,Newson Woodward to score more points then LSU's Duncan Hackatt and Stowers It's all coming down to the 4 by 400 relay the last event of the day thank god ESPN 3 ISN'T COVERING THIS I COULDN'T EVEN WATCH DAY 2 OR 3 BUT I GET ESPN U :)

Nobody cares

Actually I do. I'm probably not the only one.

Other than Hasay being the mostlikely to score 8/10 points for the win in the 1500, and Oregon's relays matching up with LSU to keep it even..Do you see any of Oregon's other athletes doing that well besides scoring 1/2/3 points? I DON"T. LSU scores major points in the 200, where Oregon may be lucky to score 1 0r 2 in the 5000m, lets be real. It'll be close but Oregon can't win by just racking up a couple points here or there with 7th and 8th place...Major props though for Theisen and Gardner for atleast making it even after Friday

Friday will take top 3-4 in the 1,500 Woodward and Kosinski will score 10 points between them in the 5 K. and look for Newson in the Triple to score about 4-6 points. I remember one of the Oregon coaching saying she could add 5 feet to her triple jump once she learns the technique she is already a 42 foot plus T.J after only 3 T.J.'s in her life. If Hasay can win and i think she will it's going to be close

To "quiet" re: your comment "nobody cares."

Yes, many real T&F fans do care. And you should, if you are a real fan (why are you even on the message boards if you are not).

Team championships and scoring is what makes our sport more interesting to more people. The general public is more interested in which country has the most medals at the Olympics (team scoring?) than who is actually the best individual (regardless of country).

Many experts have suggested having more dual meets (which is a long story for another time) so we can attract more interest to our sport. Well the NCAA is the place where scores are important. Without team scores, we might not even have a championship meet or even school-sponsored teams, due to a lack of funding by universities.

So yes, many of us who actually care about our sport do care who wins the NCAA championship.

Is Woodward doubling??? It would be great if she did because I do think if she is rested from the 10k, she can do real good and def score valuable points for Oregon. Instead of her or Kosinski going for an individual win (doubtful to happen..) I hope they run smart and strategically for the points. Should be an interesting and close race atleast.

Here's how I have it (and note that I'm particularly bad at predicting):

After 4x100, LSU 50 and Oregon 46

After 1500m, Oregon 62 and LSU 50

After 200m, LSU 68 and Oregon 62

After 100H, LSU 71 and Oregon 62

After TJ, LSU 71 and Oregon 62

After 5k, LSU 71 and Oregon 67

After 4x400, LSU 81 and Oregon 75

But here's the kicker: LSU's absolute maximum possible is 88. Oregon has the TJ and 5k where they can score more than I have them down for, possibly way more. The Ducks' maximum is 103. And we've all seen crazy crap happen in the 4x100, which could be fatal for either team.

The men's side is weird. There are five teams that could possibly win it, although Florida is in control.

Kosinski does have the 2nd fastest 5 K time in the Country well in the college ranks this year don't count her out just yet i'm thinking Woodward will get about 5th as well for Oregon :)

Do you really think LSU will go 1-2 in the 200 lol they will be tired from running the 4 by 100 what 45 minutes earlier Texas A &M has 2 runners faster then Hackett CFU has Freeman and Kansas Dixon is faster then Hackett as well I see LSU geting only 13 points in the 200 so assuming Oregon scores 13 in the 1,500 which they should easy Oregon only has to get more points from Kosinski,Woodard and Newson then LSU Stowers in the 100 H. Lsu will win the 4 by 100 Oregon second Oregon will win the 4 by 400 LSU second. Having either Purvis,Garnder or Theisen taking over Gosberry leadoff leg will knock 1-2 seconds off of Oregon 4 by 400 time and the Ducks will win easy with Francis on the final leg.

Sorry Duncan and Hackett will only have 37 minutes after running the 4 by 100 for the 200 i hope they are tired :)

Kosiniski has choked many times at this level; the last time being indoors when Vin's quote about her "tendency" was LR's QOD. There are at least three ladies significantly better than Alex (Tebo, D'Agostino and Reid). I think Oregon will be lucky to get 7 points out of the 5K and I predict they get only 3.

The 1500 is big. There are so many talented women in the 1500 that the potential spread on Oregon points is huge. Friday and Hasay are both talented but look at the field. Infeld, Van Dalen, Piliusina, Flood, Gay, Feldman, Tracey, McGee. Pac12fan says Friday will take top 3-4. That's certainly possible but i also see a case where she runs a good race and gets no points. This race is going to be bunched up at the end, and where everybody finishes, who the heck knows?

Pac12fan, you say 13 points for Oregon in the 1500 and you say easy. How do you get easy? Those are going to be tough tough points. I put Hasay's expectancy at 3rd. She is bunched with Infeld, Flood, Van Dalen and Piliusina. Almost impossible to rank them as all are great runners. Hasay could win or finish 5th out of those 5. We'll call it in the middle 3rd. That's 6 points. Friday has the aforementioned 5 as clearly better runners. And that doesn't include Feldman, Gay and McGee who i view as very even with Friday. Her expectancy can't be more than 7th. That's 2 points.

Oregon will get 13 points at least in the 1,500 book it :)

a first and 6th will get Oregon 13 points or a 2nd and 4th will as well i'm thinking Hasay will get at least 8 and Friday at least 5 points Go Ducks F U LSU

GO LSU!!!!!!!

Pac12fan, certainly possible but like i said, it won't be easy. Critical race here for points in the team standing. This might be the deepest 1500 women's field ever.

Go Ducks today! More balanced instead of just sprinters
