without the -1.7 wind under 11 seconds right? I'm thinking Gardner has a shot to make the U.S team in the 100 any body else agree? hell after watching her run the first leg in the 4 by 400 she might have a shot at the 400 too lol

I thought you were talking about an actual English Gardener.
I love this site for adjusting 100m/200m marks:

According to that site, her adjusted time would be 10.98.

I too have real issues dealing with this girl's name.
meet record and victory for Oregon in the 4x400m, beating LSU, also under the meet record. how often has that ever happened?
I didn't see the split for Gardner, but Oregon's anchor was 50., and Roesler, the third leg, was 51.86. The top men's splits listed were in the low 44's with Tony McQuay top at 44.01 or so and the top 800m guy in there, Cas Loxsom, ran a 45.15! His speed is definitely world class for an 800m runner. Under the right coach, if he pulls it together, he will be a 1:43 guy.

Oregon's women won the 4x4, but LSU won the title. And two teams going under a meet record happens ALL THE TIME.
I like her name. It's clever without being ridiculous.
Two teams running the 2nd and 3rd fastest times of all time in NCAA competition does not happen every day.
Yeah it's better than Octavious Freeman.
I was also impressed by the times with the wind. The M200 was won in 20.40 with a -4.2 wind. How fast does that covert to?
I heard someone mentioning that English Gardner might have gone pro?? Any sources to this?
19.94

Run the other direction, see gets a +1.7, and gets a ~10.88 or thereabouts, depending on converter.
Conversions aren't that easy. The calculator is really just a guess. The wind's effects change from person to person. Hell, just knowing that the wind will play a role in the race can get in the heads of some sprinters and therefore change the times around.
For Gardner, though, I think it's a safe bet that she would have run at least 11 flat.. but she didn't, she ran 11.10, so her time is worth 11.10.
Mitchell probably would have been around 20.1. He's a bit of a stronger and experienced runner so I'm betting the wind didn't affect him quite as much as the calculator would predict.

Unlikely. Kimberlyn Duncan is the one being coy when asked about going pro.

Good luck finding an English Gardener, where I live they're all Mexicun.
It is over guys-Oregon did NOT win. Accept it and move on.

Her parents are clueless trailer trash for giving her a name like this
Her parerts are excellent and I personally like her name.

I would guess somewhere in the high 10.9s, but what I am most interested in is knowing her 400m split on the 4x4. It has to be sub-51 and the lead off leg is a legitimate 400m and can sometimes be slightly longer and slower than an actual 400m becasue instead of driving to the tape, you are foucing on handing off. What's interesting is up to now, she has been a 100m specialist, with a drop off in her 200m performances. I would say she has at least a 50/50 chances of getting into the relay pool for 4x1. And, perhaps I am over evaluating her 400m potential, but if what I saw at the NCAAs is correct, she probably has an even better chance at the 4x4 pool. Although, it would probably be difficult for her to make it through the 400m rounds if her focus has been the 100m.
