SECs

[RQ]

Poor weather predicted for the Saturday and Sunday afternoon/evening sessions as week.

Bruce Kritzler told me that they finished about 11PM Friday night.

On another note, SEC track story in the Gainesville Sun was buried on page 5. No mention of today's qualifying events.

Front page? Women softball regionals(hosted by UF), Preakness story and the Gators Baseball team losing to Kentucky 8-7. So sad

Christian Taylor suffers/reinjures his achilles tendon, Chris Rainey(member of last year's 4 x 100m team pulls hamstring

http://www.gainesville.com/article/2...d-SEC-Outdoors

Injuries were an issue as freshman jumper/sprinter Christian Taylor went down early after reinjuring his Achilles tendon. Taylor had a successful first jump of 7.53m in the long jump, which ended up being good enough for seventh overall.

Taylor passed on his remaining jumps and Holloway was unsure if Taylor would compete in the long jump finals, triple jump or the 4x400m relay today.

Freshman Chris Rainey aggravated his left hamstring during the 100m as well. Rainey pulled up lame toward the end and finished with a time of 11.30.

No agate results in local rag.
Gator men lead qualifying by a big margin with 3 in 100, 2 in 200, 2 in 400, 1 in 800, 1 in 1500, 3 in 110h, 1 in 400h. Should pick up 100 pts today.
Women's meet looks like good battle between TN, LSU, Ark, and FL is making it interesting with all their distance and field event points.

Should Tenn women pull away today? They did just win the outdoor national title.

Tennessee, what happened to them, only 11 points! :shock:

RQ, you are on top of things, what happened to Tennessee? They go from winning indoor nationals to nowhere to be found at their outdoor conference meet. Are they just better suited for indoors?

[tandfman]

Some teams have top-end strength that positions a team better at the National level than at a conference meet. Remember, Tennessee didn't win the SEC indoors this year, but they did win the NCAA's.

[NumberCruncher]

Thanks.

Exactly! The LSU women have been traditionally stronger at nationals than at conference. Between 2000 and 2004 they won five national championships (3 indoor and 2 outdoor) without winning a single conference championship. Furthermore, they only finished second once during that time frame, finishing third or fourth on the other nine occasions.

UF in lead,but does not have sprint depth. They'll need points in shot and 5k

Lots of thunder. Delay.....not sure how much longer.
