Texas Relays

Re: Texas Relays

No one seems to be commenting on the decathlon. Morrison, who I assume is the current NCAA outdoor favorite is leading with 4 people over 5500. Looks like a pretty decent competition.

Re: Texas Relays

PRs seemed to be a guide for the JT, with CC hiting only 102-6/31.24m (PR 103?) and RK picking up 144 points with 127-04/38.81, so a 206 gap for the 800, with a good JT (135-05/41.27) moving Fitzpatrick up close to RK; she has had 3 PRs and two close to PRs but sports a 2:25 800m so she will not over take the others and will be lucky to be third, as Alcide has a 2:20 and made a 8m PR in the JT to keep close enough.

Re: Texas Relays

Krais would be quite a heptathlete if she could hit the marks she did in the 10th grade in the LJ and the 200m. She loses a foot a year in the LJ.

Re: Texas Relays

Well, Carrier continued her PR 'weekend' and went from a little over 5000 to a little under 6000. If she can improve those last two events she still has up-side (although she will not always get 5.4, 4.0 and 1.8 winds.

Re: Texas Relays

They announced today that the Relays will be the last weekend in March for the next 5 years.

[Double R Bar]

Re: Texas Relays

Not the best weather in late March. Maybe they'll get lucky with the weather.

[TxHottrack]

Re: Texas Relays

The reason for the change in the schedule has nothing to do with the weather. If you take a look at the high school section..especially division II..you will quickly notice that majority or just about all of Texas best high school teams didn't come down to participate in the relays. The reason the top high schools made that decision is because their district meet falls the following weekend.

Re: Texas Relays

Some nice times in the womens 100 prelims (although a bit windy)
1 Duncan, Dominique JR Texas A&M 11.05q 3.1 3
2 Townsend, Tiffany SR Baylor 11.09q 3.1 3
3 Levy, Jura FR South Plains 11.12q 3.1 2

Wind or not that seems to be a break out performance for Dominique Duncan

Yeah that wind makes it worth only 11.22, but even looks like it would be a couple of 10ths improvement.

Beamonesque or typo (8.09 not 8.90 a typo)

Just saw this

1 Echard, Melvin SR Texas A&M 8.09m 2.3 29-02.50
7.71m(3.9) 7.84m(4.6) FOUL(4.3) 7.86m(3.4) 7.87m(2.7) 8.90m(2.3)
2 Makusha, Ngonidzashe JR Florida State 8.40m 4.0 27-06.75
7.93m(1.7) 7.93m(1.0) 8.18m(5.0) 8.00m(4.6) 8.40m(4.0) 8.17m(2.9)
3 Goodwin, Marquise JR Texas 8.07m 2.9 26-05.75
7.94m(1.3) 8.07m(2.9) PASS(2.0) FOUL 7.86m(2.7) FOUL(2.7)

The women's results are these, which might imply that these are semi-automated (note that it was not a tie for second because the one jumper had a better second jump) but they list them both as 2 for place. I doubt any long jump official good enough to do the Texas relays would be ignorant of the implications of a 8.90, and the other jumps are consistently a meter less.

1 Williams, Monique SO South Florida 5.99m 2.8 19-08.00
FOUL(2.6) FOUL(2.1) 5.82m(1.5) 5.80m(2.3) 5.92m(2.2) 5.99m(2.8)

Re: Beamonesque or typo (8.90) [likely a typo]

Just saw this

1 Echard, Melvin SR Texas A&M 8.90m 2.3 29-02.50
7.71m(3.9) 7.84m(4.6) FOUL(4.3) 7.86m(3.4) 7.87m(2.7) 8.90m(2.3)

Echard's final jump has been corrected in the results already... to 8.09. So it was a typo, and only Beamonesque in it's tailwind 8-)

Nice series from Makusha

Re: Texas Relays

I will be attending and working Texas Relays, the 59th anniversary of my first Texas Relay.
Missed a few while I was off living life but have been there for about 40 of them.

Texas Relays seem to have some of the best officials in the state. How do you get into becoming an official? I think I can fit that into my already busy schedule. I work & taking some classes, so why not add more to my schedule.

Cooter pretty well covered the basics.. also recommendation by a couple of members familiar with your qualifications helps..

Cooter's & Lonewolf's explanations about cover it...accessing the following website will provide additional information:
