Sub 7:10 looks very possible with that lineup. Hope the weather is decent.

Just checked the forecast, looks cool but dry, much better than last year....

Definitely some concerns, healthwise or other, for our teams heading into SEC's and regionals. McCray I don't believe has run in weeks, not sure what's going on with our hurdler Scott and Carter didn't clear a height in Lubbock last night. Also Nissi seems to be a question mark in the high jump and 400 hurdles for the women. There are still some positive elite performances happening week to week but to compete for a natty, we've got to have everybody healthy and competing at a high level in May and June. It just seems like many of our top performances were early in the season. Anybody closer to the team have any insights?

That is good news! Thanks for the update. I was thinking all of our runners were at the Penn Relays this weekend.

Broadhead, any news on Assinga?

In reply to box65 unfortunately no news.

TOO BAD. Guess they decided they are going to punish him anyway by not giving him enough time

In reply to taylorswift13_ i would have thought that her Nike contract would require her to compete a certain number of times. They are paying her to represent the brand and she can't represent it if she's not competing. Anyway, I hope she's ok and not racing is just a precaution.

In reply to brodhead75 You'd think so! But Kersee never lets Sydney McLaughlin ever race as well! You'd think her contract would obligate her to have a certain number of appearances per her year, but I guess not! I understand the training and development of it somewhat! But it's really bad for the fans, and this sort of thing turns people against her! And could be why she lost the world champs last year too

In reply to brodhead75 How many meets did you miss during your college career? Not when you were injured, just for a break or a rest.

In reply to AG75FYL we didn't take a break back in those days. if we were healthy we competed every weekend. i remember every year before NCAA's coach brought us to Wichita KS for the USTFF meet because we didn't want to have an off weekend between the conference meet and the NCAA meet.
