Surprise in the men's 800 as last year's NCAA runner-up/top returner Marco Arop of Mississippi State was only 5th in his heat at the East prelims and won't be going to Austin.
Lincoln Shryack speculated on the broadcast that he may have been hurt as he just didn't look as if he had anything left when the top guys began to pull away on the backstretch in his heat.
