Raevyn Rogers 1:59.10 NCAA 800 record at Mt. SAC

Was wondering when she would break it. Definitely excited to see the continued momentum in American middle distance running.

Wow just realized it has been almost two years since she first ran 1:59 as a freshman to win NCAAs

That's an important step for her, to be able to run 1:59 she wants and needs to, hasn't leveled off in her progress etc.

She beat Roesler!

Puts Mary cain's record in perspective.

HSR: 1:59.51

CR: 1:59.10

I was surprised when I saw this on the streaming coverage this afternoon, as I thought that the record would have been under 1:59. That said, even 2:00 is still a pretty tough barrier for these gals until they get a bit older and stronger.

I've got a feeling that Rogers is gonna take it down some more before the season is over.

i hope she does wrote:

Let's hope she doesn't turn to hooking in Vegas as a follow-up.

Why would you say such a thing?

after setting the NCAA record in 1990, it took sfh 22 years to get her desire and training up to conquer Vegas. My prediction: Rogers won't be able to match that timeline, long as it seems. She doesn't have enough endurance, imo.

It is interesting where the timeline breaks on what is called the Collegiate record. Does it stop for Seniors at NCAA's? Rogers is now credited with the Collegiate outdoor record but is now only listed as 3rd on Oregon's all time list.

Old record was 1:59.11 by Suzy Favor Hamilton in 1990. So Rogers got it by .01!

Sorry, but Rogers did not get the NCAA record for the women's 800 meter today. Phoebe Wright (Tennessee) still has that record of 1:58.22.

Rogers doesn't even have the Pac-12 record. That belongs to Brigita Langerholc (USC) - 1:58.51.

Rogers does not even have the Oregon school record. That belongs to Claudette Groenendaal- 1:58.33.

Rogers has no records as of today.

They changed the rule in April, 2017. Wright, Langerholc, and Groenendaal all achieved their marks in the summer. Only times that occur during the NCAA calendar count. Terrible rule. But that is the new rule.

If I'm not mistaken, there is no official NCAA record. The NCAA only keeps records for the NCAA championships. Everyone has their own opinion about what should constitute a collegiate record. I always go by Track & Field News' lists, which says the season ends at NCAAs.

I've always thought that as long as you have college eligibility left in that sport you should get the record (i.e if you set it in the summer after your jr year, it is good, but summer after your sr year no).

Summer of your graduation, you are still racing off of your college training. To say otherwise is ignorance of the effects of training.

Phoebe deserves the record, as a tribute to one of the greatest improvement stories in NCAA history, and Claudette deserves props for being so fast, and so, well, hot.

Phoebe Wright ran her 1:58.22 after her senior year in college. And Claudette Groenendaal ran her 1:58.33 after her senior year as well. Brigita Langerholc ran her 1:58.51 in the summer after her junior year. But they will not count that one either. The Pac-12 counts Langerholc's time as the Pac-12 record. And Oregon counts Groenendaal's time as their school record.

It is nice to see Raeven get the NCAA record. Let's see if she can now get the Pac-12 and Oregon school records. How bizarre is that?

Raevyn? What a stupid name. Stupid parents

Insightful post. Banjo Sam, weren't you in "Deliverance"?

Correct. UO, as do most colleges, counts out-of-season marks, so Rogers is #3 on the UO list.

Groenendaal's mark is not even considered to be the out-of-season CR by T&FN because it was after her senior year.

How many NCAA women have dipped under 2:00? How many of those went on to have great careers?
