re: NCAA Track and Field Championship Thread

100 - the way Adams from Auburn is running i doubt FSU gets 18. We may get one or 2 but any here is lagniappe.

200 - same scenario for us here. Again FSU may get 14 but will be lucky if they do with a guy running in lane 9. A&M looks about right.

400 - hard to get 5th out of lane one for A&M. guy from florida is flying but everyone else is also. had to run 45.29 just to qualify for the finals. fastest finals in a while.

Steeple - who knows. AM will score something

110h - could be huge for us. Nugent's race will show us if we will have a shot at the title. UF and AM could get big points as well.

4x100 - auburn will win and i think we take 2nd and push FSU and AM back a couple of spots

PV - no one expected to score

TJ - another event for LSU to get an extra point or 2. 5 pts projected for LSU

Shot - none

Hammer - looking like UF will gain a couple of points but Lauro for LSU in 4th position as of now seeded to score 1 in 8th

4x400 - i think florida will win this and may clinch the title for them. we will be in it and will be a close race. Will be a fun final event

I'm very confident LSU will finish 4th and FSU will finish 1st.

Where A&M and UF go is a coin toss.

Well forgive me for not being inclined to believe anything you say. Your posting of outdated seedings reveals that you have no clue what it looks like right now.

FSU may finish 1st and LSU 4th but you have no grounds to think that right now. Why you still believe that FSU will go 1,2 in the 100 despite Harry Adams going a wind legal 9.96 is beyond me. Andrew Riley also ran a wind legal 10.02 yesterday.

are you guys talking girls or guys?

5 big points for Lauro (LSU) who was seeded to finish 8th but finishes 4th. Florida with 8 big points with their 2nd place finish as well.

Still early i know but moves us into a tie for 2nd i think

Plus, their aren't many head to heads. It's kind of Oregon's distance vs our sprints

What are you talking about? LSU and Oregon go head to head in the 100, 400, 800, 4x100 and 4x400.

I say we just award sexecutioner the title of most knowledgable rantard about the NCAA meet and be done with these pissing contests.

Appreciate the updates.

FSU only got 3rd and 6th in the 100. That effectively removes them from the team competition

Aaron Earnest of LSU got 8th in that heat which was expected.

Cassandra Tate wins the 400H. Its now LSU's to lose in the womens. That all but seals it, barring a dropped baton or something.

I would not go that far. The Tigers and Ducks are currently tied. Remaining events--LSU has 2x 200m, 800m, 4x1, 4x4, 110h, 400m. Oregon has 2x800m, 2x 1500m, 2x 5k, 400m, 4x1, 2x steeplechase.

LSU will obviously outscore Oregon in the 200 and 110h and probably the relays (I'm speculating by a total of about 25). Oregon will probably outscore the Tigers in the 400 and 800 (but not by anywhere near 25, maybe like 10). It is going to depend on how much they pick up in the 3 distance races (I think they will get a podium spot in both the 15 and 5k so they will make up at least 12 on us there) and is likely to hinge on placement in the 4x4.
