time for some separate threads! This one now locked.

William Wynne(400h) and Christian Taylor (lj) failed to make the top 12 in these events. Will miss ncaa unless some athletes finishing ahead of them don't declare.....

Rumors of dissatisfaction among the Gator athletes starting to coalesce it would seem.

Scott Sellers finally wins something this year. He cleared 2.25m and took shots at 2.31m. I know he was hampered with illness earlier in the year so hopefully he has gotten it together in time for the NCAA's.

Cheers, have been there (competitor, fan). Wondered if there were no more than the nine men who had qualified for the m-100m or the 10 in the 400m. Apparently not, as they ran two heats of five and four, and five-five, respectively.

My shock is more over the continued lack of sprinting in the West year in and out. Should I even be shocked any longer? ;-)

I agree that the West seems to lack depth. I suggested adding all states or parts of states that are in the Mountain time zone to the West a few months ago, but the Regional system seems to be changing.

Rupp scored the 10 points Oregon was seeking in the 5.000m:

What happened to Baylor's male quarter-milers at regionals? I know about the ineligibility problem a few days ago, but what happened to Inglehart-Summers? His time was 10th in prelims?

Harts looked good in prelims, but he isn't entered in 4x400. He will have run six races in two days by the 4x400.

Is Baylor's 4x400 dominance over?

Arkansas had great performance in lj with 1,2,3 and two over 26'.
Mideast region had 4 women over 180' in discus.
FL and SC both have 3 qualifiers for 110h, just like SEC.
East wpv very weak, as 6th place finishers at all other regions would have won here.
Galen Rupp won 5k in 13:46 after advancing in 1500 prel. Shad Kip Biwott 5th -5k

[Dutra]

Ah ok. Looks like Holliday won his heat. I can't wait to see what he does in the final. That's too bad about Demps, after his huge race last season and everything.

Demps pulled up in the SEC 100m

Can someone point me to a link that provides specific info on the at-large NCAA pools.

As ever, simple as pi (to 30 places, that is)

After the automatic qualifiers (top five declared student-athletes in individual events, top three declared relays based upon regional performance) have been identified, the committee will place the next seven declared student-athletes/relay teams (plus ties based on place) in each event based upon regional performance into the national at-large pool.
The at-large pool student-athletes are then listed in order of their best performance of the year, including any best marks established at the regional meet. The committee will fill the field in each event by starting at the top of the at-large pool until the cap of 544 student-athletes per gender is reached. If the numbers of allowable student-athletes have not been reached after automatic qualifiers and minimum field sizes have been accommodated, the committee will add student-athletes to the meet by adding equally to all events (including relays) for as long as the number of available student-athlete spaces will allow. At this step, if two or more student-athletes are tied by mark for the next qualifying performance, all such student-athletes will be added to the field as long as the number of spaces available is sufficient.

Each event will be filled to the following minimums:
Event Men Women
100-Meter Dash 20 20
200-Meter Dash 20 20
400-Meter Dash 20 20
800-Meter Run 20 20

Anyone know why neither Trindon Holliday nor Jeff Demps entered the 100m prelims in east regionals today?

I really thought Holliday would go sub 10 this year, so I hope he's not injured or anything.

LSU is in the Mideast, and Holliday ran. Demps has been nursing an injury for quite a while now.:
