I did not, but it most likely is. If you look at the times and sizes of the 1st and 3rd heats, the second heat stands out as a smaller heat that was likely all females.
I did yeah, it was Helen. just a typo for her gender! Didn't notice that in the results though

I am amazed by the fact that an indoors all-comers' exists anywhere. Dempsey/UW used to put on meets with fairly relaxed standards, but now if you can't run a 4:13 mile as an open athlete the door is closed tight. The concept of heats with loads of miles over 5:00 is alien to us on the Wet Coast.
Yes. The Open is now more competitive to get in to than the Preview was a few years ago. And the Classic and Invite have strict standards of 4:04 and 4:08 . The problem isn't the meets themselves (they're just executing on supply & demand), but the fact that those 4 meets are the only ones on the entire West Coast.
I understand many non-collegiate guys are salty because they can't get in to the Preview with a 4:14.01 while a random community college guy with a 4:38 may get it in. But think about how generous it is for collegiate meets to let in non-collegiates in the first place. No other college sport does this. College basketball doesn't allow random street ball players to enter their games. College football doesn't allow random post-collegiate flag football players to walk on to the field.
Did the indoor series in Oregon disappear? I went to a couple of those a few years ago.
The "run for the dream" invite had very relaxed entry standards for open and masters runners. But I'm not sure if they will be bringing that back this year, it was gone the last two years unfortunately. It is too bad, because it made indoors exist in California for the first time in a long time.
We used to also have Reno have an indoor meet, but that disappeared around 2007?
The next closest I can think of that still exists anywhere near the West Coast would be Boise's indoor meets. They're well run and have relaxed entry standards. I think part of what keeps them from being too crowded is that it is a flight for most people and they have a handful of them, so it spreads the interested parties out over multiple dates.
Thanks! Also just verified with more expanded results with Helen's name.
BTW, for trivia geeks, McGee's 4:27.67 the fastest women's track Mile in the month of December.
Actually about time Cory McGee and her coach start doing well. All the resources and opportunities in the world.
I was there! I had run the 400m right before the mile started and heard cheering as i came too after. The guy came across the line in like 3:58 it was kinda crazy!

College XC, we race at least a couple of Invitationals and open meets in Sept/Oct with non-college athletes, Mayor's Cup for example. College bowling a lot of events are open to college bowlers and non-college bowlers.
Long ago, when Dick Buerkle was the indoor mile record holder and lived in Buffalo, there was a college XC meet to which Alleghany (PA) was invited. At that time, Alleghany had Kenyans, which was rare.
Buerkle was allowed to enter.
I was standing near the Alleghany coach and runners, and heard the coach say loudly to his Kenyans, "See that bald guy over there? HE IS NOT ON A TEAM!"
Buerkle didn't win, but he led for most of the race.

Nah. My times make sense on the BU track compared to outdoor marks.

Its what I'm hearing. Can anyone confirm?
meh.
Back when they held these meets in the old Armory, on the very-high banked old B.U. track (still very fast, but some dead spots), Mark Carroll, ran a solo 3:54. no one near him, ran it virtually by himself.
Looking at some of these 200m results, I'm amused that they labeled everyone as a Male when there are clearly names and times belonging to some women in the field.

I was there, it was an awesome thing to see! But to be fair I thought the 7:43 3000m was more impressive to watch. And the woman’s 4:27 mike was pretty damn cool too.

7:43 is indeed a better performance.
What if i told you it was Hamish Carsons first ever indoor race.
3:58 in your debut race indoors is pretty bloody impressive!
