We're two meets into the indoor season. I don't think there's anything to glom off his not competing to this point.

particularly for a team in sunny SoCal which has little reason even to think about indoor competition.

I read on a usc fanboard which mentioned track and field that the few fans commenting were happy that the kids were not being rushed and overworked. They didn't mention anyone by name but seem to imply the freshman although I think the freshman women have competed. One guy seemed to know his stuff. He even mentioned Edesel Garrison and Willie Deckard. I don't know whether that means he knows a lot or he's just old.

I also don't think it's a focus of the program (indoors). Last year the women competed to some degree in a few events. The men sent a few field eventers and that was it. I don't think they sent anyone 2 years ago.

I was asking the question. I don't know. Why was it posted in the first place. Just wondering.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone is even discussing USC track and field....and I'm an SC grad! That program has next to zero interest, at least based on attendance at the most recent conference meet held there. Apart from one women's NC in 2001 (thank you, Angela Williams), that program hasn't won a national championship in four decades.

if winning a national title is the rubric for supporting a program, the last 4 decades hasn't coughed up very many programs worth doing it. And when the Trojans were winning every year, that made everybody else useless, so to speak.

A few USC people were at the Razorback meet!!
They, like UO going to NYC, traveled far, but did well far from home!

Michael Norman is listed on the start lists (400 and 4X4 relay) for this weekend's New Mexico Classic.

He ran his 200 heat Friday in 20.76, the fastest heat time at the meet in Albuquerque.

May have changed since you posted however it was the 200m and 4x400m

Norman ran lead-off on USC's winning 4x4 relay team. Their time was 3:05.57. I haven't seen splits.
