In other news, I guess there were was a B mile already as a bunch of Oregon Ducks have broken 4.
Two Ducks who had never broken four got under - Mick Stanovsek ran 3:57.90 and Cooper Teare ran 3:59.29

Plus Indiana's Kyle Mau has just gone sub-4 at home so we now have 497 sub-4 Americans in history. Bring Back the Mile is paying out $500 to the 500th person. Also you can win some free Saucony gear if you guess who it is.

Yep. No one else even was close to him. The rabbit had gapped everyone at 200 but between 200 and 400 Sowinski closed the gap and no one else did.
I had heard rumors that things weren't going well for Murphy in the NOP and this seems to confirm it.

I wonder how Cooper Teare feels about being arguably (between him and Worley) the most dominant HS distance guy on the track and still getting having his mile PR slightly overshadowed by Reed Brown -
Women's mile:
3:24 at 1209. 5 racers together at bell. Van Buskirk, 30, was the best of everyone over the last lap and wins in a big new PB. Her previous pb was 4:28.08 outdoors and 4:30.14 indoors.

Schweizer now #4 all time on the NCAA mile list (actually higher up than on the 5k list, where she is 5th). Great run for her, especially off a negative split.

Engels bemoaning the fact that they didnt go out faster, but yet he did nothing to push the pace...
-
In the MEN'S mile, I had heard Craig Engels - who may run the 800 next week at Camel City (his home state) as there is huge prize money - might hammer it through 1500 to try to pick up the 1500 qualifier for Worlds as the 1500 time (3:39.50) is way easier than the mile (3:55). But that didn't happen as no one went with the rabbit.
They were 2:03.15 at 809. Oakley was up front.
1209 - Oakley, Engels, Napolitano, 3:01.90. Engels to lead at 1300.
3 man race at bell. Engels and Oakley pulled clear over the final lap and Engels got the win.
Post-race, Engels was smiling but didn't seem to care that he won. He said after the first lap he realized he wouldn't run 3:55 but was still hoping to get the 3:39.50 time. That didn't happen. Engels said his coaches told him not to worry about time and Craig Masback agreed - getting the win was key.
It's so stupid the IAAF makes these guys get standards. They should just give the US 2. I mean if you are Engels. What do you do now? Run the 800 next week or do you scrap that idea and run the mile so you pick up the time?
The HSer Hasty was back 3rd of the field the whole time.
It's worth noting that the Oregon guys in this race ran way slower than the guys in the slow heat as they got out so slow.

Women's 800.
Wilson to the lead - no rabbit 28.22. Lipsey right behind her then Goule.
59.61 at 400 and Wilson starts to gap the field a little bit. 2-3 meters at 500. 600, Wilson leads by 4-5 meters in 1:29.73 with Lipsey 2nd at 1:30.33. Just when it looked like it would be utter domination by Wilson she started to tie up.
Ajee tied up and Goule came on big time and got close to her but Wilson wins.
Wilson post-race said she's hoping to get the indoor record later this winter.

Looks like he may need another later to repair his confidence and broken ego. Salazar and Julian have already ruined him? -
Men's 3000.
Leader hits 1600 in 4:12.74 - Bruchet. Buchanan was 4:13.00. Gap to 3rd. -

Lots of our very best are basically putting all their hopes in achieving the Worlds standard at Millrose. Bowerman Babes May still have secret qualifying meet; where else though?

Men's 3k. Buchanan works hard and gets rewarded with an World INdoor qualifier by .02!! Mahoney came from way off the pace to nearly get the win.

As a fan, I would be devastated if Murphy never raced better than his 2016 season. Really hope his recent performances are due to a lack of fitness although I don't think NOP would race him if they didn't think he was fit.
