Official NCAA Outdoors 2013 Day 3 discussion thread.

Looks like Cas wanted to pay homage to the great PSU runners of the 70's and 80's with the throwback uni in his last collegiate race.

how old are the kenyans in the steeple?

Did Casimir just wear our Alumni Singlet in the NCAA Finals?

while roessler's time was very good, she ran the same race she ran indoors. she let goule get a monster lead in the first 200 then spent the rest of the race trying to run her down. roessler is a very tough runner but with 51 point 400 speed she should be under 2:00 in the 800

It's the same throwback that PSU has been wearing since NCAA XC in 2008. Dennis Pollow designed the alumni singlet off of it.

Goule is only running once this weekend...Roessler ran a 400 all out last night

So, way not to show any of the other finishers in the steeple. Would have been nice to see how the points broke down fron 4th thru 8th, rather than watching the winner on the ground. You can always go back to that after the race.

will these records go down today??

College Best Jenny Barringer - Colorado 15:07.64 5/2/2009

Goule also ran a leg on the 4x400 last night.

This.

Thanks for being a Duck, Jordan, and for giving it your best.

Most decorated Oregon runner of all time.

Damn.... Was heart-breaking to watch the 5000m but sooo proud of Jordan, she went for it. That girl has been so consistent, she's the Chris Derrick of womens NCAA running.

She's looking mighty thin tho, no?

No and no.

Dominant run by AD though. Clearly a cut above the rest.

I was blown away by AD's kick. Dang! But props to Jordan for going for it. That was a gutsy move that just didn't stick. But a good way to end it in front of the home crowd.

I would say the Chris Derrick comparison is incorrect.

She has 2 NCAA titles.

She has not consistently dropped her times and as it stands as much as Chris Derrick.

Here was the high school to college drop for Derrick:

4:14 mile/1600 to 3:59/3:41 Mile/1500m

13:55 5000m to 13:19 5000m

8:48 3200m to 7:46 3000m

and 27:30 10,000m

Hasay has done:

4:14 1500m to 4:10 1500m

17:05 5k (XC) to 15:37 5000m

9:52 3200m to 8:57 3000m

and 32:06 10,000m

And again Derrick's has been a steady drop while Hasay has been more drop then stagnate.

I would say their 3000m and 1500m times are the closest in terms of impressiveness by overall standards; however, they are both long distance runners. 13:19 is a lot better than 15:37 and though 32:06 is good, 27:30 is better. Derrick's 5000m and 10000m times were both 'A' standards at the time.

However, the biggest flaw in this argument is that Hasay has won titles and Derrick never did (but he's doing pretty well professionally, so he made out alright)

Yeah, but hopefully Uncle Phil will make her wallet PHAT.
