Official 2018 NCAA D1 Regional Discussion - Talk about the big surprises, positive or negative here

Protest in the West women’s 800. Does anyone know why? I don’t have Flotrack, just looking at live results.

BYU boys back up their rankings and get 4 through in the 10k, 1-3-4-11.

Utah representing in the 10k

6/12 qualifiers from Utah schools.

Anyone with a live update of the women's 10k out west? Should be about 2 miles in.

Portland's 5th fastest entrant in 10000m finishes 4th with a PB.

I tried to watch the west prelims 10k, and so I thought I would fork over the $5 I assumed flotrack would charge me.

It was $29.99. Lol. Thirty Bucks. I'm serious—you didn't misread that. It's actually hilarious. Who the hell is going to pay $30 to watch a track meet, especially as a poor college student? It said it was over $100 per year too. What a f joke. Actively killing the sport. What bothers me is I could probably record a track meet of equal quality with my wife's 2/3 dslr camera, my gaming rig, and the universities internet connection, as, like I said, a poor college student. No, not probably—it wouldn't even be hard to out-do their shaky, low quality 2-camera setup. You could out-do their garbage 8 years ago with 600 dollars. What a joke.

720p and 30fps in 2018, charging $30 a month to watch an occasional track meet? Please, please, for the love of god, don't give them any money.

Agreed, I'm not poor and not a college student but I'm not paying them a dime out of principle.

Anyway we could get some compiled daily results? I don't feel like clicking through each race or link.

Something of note for your Rojo. The womens 1500 runner from Toledo that won the first heat of the East 1500 was severely burned all over her body two years ago. Huge comeback story you should check it out.

The answer is simple. Parents are going to pay.

There are few fans of the sport like yourself. There are a ton of parents who are very price inelastic.

Just go back old school and wait for the results to come out or call someone at the meet and have them give you a play by play. Do you really need to watch this meet?

Those times are just ridiculous for collegiate athletes in prelims of regionals. Better than most Olympic and Worlds 1st rounds. OMG!

There were 2 protests in the West 1500 for men but no DQs. I thought the NAU guy should have been DQed. He would have been passed on the inside at the tape but moved in and the other runner had to put his hand out to maintain balance.

Took about 10 seconds to find.

Exactly. Back when my kids were in college, I had to miss regionals one year, and I would have paid a small fortune to be able to stream it online.

Is this really behind the Flotrack pay wall??

Ncaa continues to be a sell out no good dirty organization.

WHAT A SHAME

NCAA didn't sell out Div II or III nationals. Both streams just a click away and good quality.

Yet no women qualifiers from Utah schools. Odd disparity.

Lazy you are very wrote:

Can you paste the results here? I don't have time to click on your link.

Mylik Kerley OUT of ncaas 400m; he jogged a 48.0x.

Maybe saving it for 4x400m? Would he be ineligible to run 4x400m?

It’s windier in Tampa today than it was yesterday. A lot of fast wind aided times. Alexa Hobbs (LSU) did run a wind legal 10.90 in the 100.
