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

#NCAATFEast w200: @Vol_Track's Shania Collins clocks all-time, all-conditions collegiate best of 21.97! When we say all-conditions, we mean it: 5.3 m/s tailwind and it was raining sideways. Collins is 1st collegiate woman to go sub-22 all-conditions during a collegiate season.

Per USTFCCCA

I paid and their page had a bug that wouldn't let me sign in. It would instantly direct from the sign-in page to the sign-up page, despite my already having signed up. Really disgusted with Flotrack's antics.

why would he be ineligible for the 4x400? he raced the open 400. result doesn't matter as long as he started

Yet no women qualifiers from Utah schools. Odd disparity.

Not odd at all considering the predominant belief system in Utah.

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

Took about 10 seconds to find.

It is NOT easy to find compiled results. I personally think after a meet is over they only should published compiled results. If I was USATF that's what I'd do or at least make that the default. Make people pay attention to the whole meet. Plus it's faster than going link by link.

I didn't think to go to an individual university's athletics website. I didn't think they would have the results up until the whole meet was over. I was poking around on NCAA.com. Thanks for the link.

It is only odd given Univ of Utah has a womens only team. The primary reason is that Utah HS boys quality is much higher than that of the girls. Nothing to do with religion. Just purely a talent pool issue. I dont known of any top notch HS girls in Utah who didnt go run in college. Plus, Tate and Maggard arent LDS anyway so your point is somewhat misled in that aspect as well.

Anyone else see Sydney Mclaughlin almost go down in the 400h prelims? Super scary moment, my heart was in my chest. (Video is on Flotrack's YouTube account)

Sure, that may be part of it. But I think Utah just happens to have a lot of male distance studs right now.

Grayson Murphy of Utah had a 10k time that would have qualified as the #7 runner in the west going in but it seems she is focusing on the steeple.

Utah based collegiate women have certainly proven themselves on a national stage in the past. Not sure about the 10k but the BYU women have multiple national titles in cross country. (1997,1999,2001,2002)

Pardon the facetiousness but It's just so odd, the BYU men didn't even make it to nationals in 1997, why the disparity?

Sometimes it just cyclical.

I meant if he didn't start his qualified for 400m, would he be ineligible for the 4x400m?

You seemingly answered this Q, though.

Dwight St. MF Hillaire 44.55 in qualifying. This year has to be on the deeper end of NCAA level 400m pre-ncaa outdoor champs.

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?

Another brilliant few words from rojo. NEED to watch this meet? Who NEEDS to watch it, as if he or she will keel over without the fix? I hope you're not one of those morans who spout the "America! Love it or leave it!" line just because someone angrily protests something about the American way of life. Give me an f'ing break.

This was a crazy result. The kid (Frosh) runs under 45 for the first time(on a windy day) to take down a MASSIVELY talented field. What is UK doing so right?

1 Dwight ST HILLAIRE FR Kentucky 44.55 Q 1 (1) PB

2 Nathon ALLEN SO Auburn 44.76 Q 2 (1)

3 Akeem BLOOMFIELD SO Auburn 44.90 Q 2 (2) SB

4 Nathan STROTHER SR Tennessee 45.19 Q 1 (2)

5 Alejandro ZAPATA JR Liberty 45.28 Q 2 (3)

6 Chantz SAWYERS FR Florida 45.40 q 2 (4)

From 1995 to 2003 the BYU women's team placed in the top 4 at xc nats (1st 4 yrs, 2nd 3 yrs, 3rd 1 yr, 4th 1 yr)

In 2000, BYU girls took 1st and 2nd in the 10K at NCAAs. From 2001 to 2003 BYU had 3 different girls win the NCAA steeple.

Over the past 10 years the women have arguably had a better track team than the men, with 4 top 15 team scores, including 3rd in 2009.

They seem to be doing quite well for themselves, babies and all.

Oops, I was comparing indoor to outdoor. The men are better. Women are clearly oppressed in that godforsaken place.

The women’s west 10k was REALLY good. I think they’re gonna end up sweeping the top 4 at NCAAs; plus 2-4 in that race (Wright, Taylor, Lokedi) were the top 3 from NCAAs last year, in a different order obviously.

They ran wayyyy too fast for a qualifying race, ridiculous. I'm guessing Wright pushed the pace, she always seems to.

In the East, a little surprised that Alex Lomong didn't go through and that Daniel Kuhn nearly didn't go through, but that just lends credit to the notion that anything can happen in 800m rounds (especially two in two days).

Too bad, Alex could have had the possibility of being the first all-American in both XC and 800.
