With the forecast I was surprised they did not move the meet up a few hours. A multi-day sporting event in Florida in May is bound to have weather delays.

Has that Men's 5000m happened yet?

Wanting to see what Shawn Forrest does...

Exciting meet. I don't recall the Tennessee men ever finishing so low. Wow.

[Marlow]

Fun meet to watch. Some quick takes:

Trindon Holliday broke clear at 30m and held his lead nicely.
The m400 was a barn-burner and not decided till the bitter end.
Richardson's 110H technique is unorthodox with a punching lead arm motion . . . but it's effective!
Gaymon never threatened Dutch's win.
As overwhelming as Bowman was in the 1500, she was never a factor in the 8. She lost contact at 600.
Stripling is a very polished jumper. She even looked good when she missed.

OF course Bowman "was never a factor in the 8." She was running for points. 800/1500 is imposible at NCAA. That is why I hope that she does 1500/5000 at regional. The others of the first six 800 runners are in the Mideast Regional and should advance to NCAA.

These first six half-milers were faster than the winners of the ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12 and the PAC 10. Bowman did well for a non-factor.

Demps faltered during the 100, coming up lame with a hamstring injury. Holloway said he was unsure of the severity of Demps’ injury, but hopes to have him back for the national championships in June.

It's good to see Holiday update his 2-year-old PR, albeit barely.

Not much talk about Booker Nunley's 13.49 in the 110H. Admittedly, I've never heard of him either, but he is only 18 years old and his time is the equal 10th best all time by a junior athlete.

Another junior I've not heard much about - Marcus Rowland - did pretty well too. He ran 10.13 (1.1ms), 20.69 (1.1ms) and 20.73 (-1.1). Pretty impressive set of times.
