Gotta love the tightness of this team race – it could go to darn near anybody!

Heck, even my Longhorns have an outside shot.

Horns lost points in the shot

Yep; formchart points just dropped from 31 to 27, so I figure that's the end of my hopes, since they were just clinging to the edge of hope anyway.

Brookins and Layne's elimination in 100 semis slightly helps A&M: Moves Mayo up to 8th and gives the Aggies 1 more point.

Hows that, it says Brookins qualified, not Mayo.

Check my post under w100: The sheet was mismarked, it was 4+1 qualifying.

Gotcha.

Ashley Muffett of Kentucky, favorite in the discus, just failed to make the finals. Assuming Annie Alexander and Sarah Stevens qualified (I wasn't watching that closely), that adds 2 points to Tennessee and 1 to Arizona State.

[trackstar]

Whoops, scratch what I just said: Alexander did not qualify, so Tenn loses six rather than pick up two, and AzSt should pick up 4 with Stevens moving 4th to 2nd and Navarro moving into the formchart.

note that there are "live" updates on team scoring on the front page.... does NOT reflect a recasting of the choices after each round, just moves everybody up to fill in where people knocked out.

You know I never understood the team points thing. What type of team competition is that when a couple of athletes are going to give all the points to a team?

I am specifically referring to the AZ State team. This should not be called the Arizona State team but the Ms Sara Stevens team (Ms Stevens is amazing of course).

Cheers

Heck, that's nothing. In the Texas high school championships, a girl competing in the class 2A (small schools) division won the state team championship for her school single-handedly by scoring in 5 events.

I guess it may have been mentioned before but why not have 2 NCCA champs. One as it is now for the best college athletes and then for the teams that want to, a final team competition with full teams (like one athlete per event?)

Kind like the european championships and the european cup.

My current estimated projections of the women's race:

Oregon 51
Texas A&M 46
Arizona St. 46
LSU 42
Florida State 39

I'm pretty sure Tennessee is toast. Sorry, BillVol.
