If you're watching online (as I know most of you will be doing just that), look no further than Cheserek of Oregon to get the win. King Chez has struggled lately. It won't matter. Maybe we can hope for points in one of the spots 2-8 for Kosgei.

This is the only final today. It begins about 10:30 tonight EST.

@TheChief, I actually coached track and field for 4-5 years at the HS level. Nothing like watching the 4x100, 4x400, 100m, 200m, 110 hurdles, and the grueling 300 hurdles.

 

[TheChief]

I'm a real track nerd @uagrad93 My favorites are the 8oo and 1600. Sort of sad to say I've probably spent more time at the track than everyone on this board combined.

 

[TheChief]

Kosgei 18th. King Chez wins with a 57 last lap. Ended up being live on ESPN.

Tony looks like he has a little blood in his testosterone system.

So the ineligible TB is in finals

 

[TheChief]

Looks like Florida and Texas A and M will battle it out for the mens' championship tonight, if they can get by Oregon (King Chez will get 10 more points in the 5000 and Haney will probably get at least eight in the 1500). Florida has three men in the 400. That's good for a minimum of six points if they get the last three spots.

Hate to say it, but Tennessee has several in the finals as well. They could sneak into the top six or so.

Teams of note right now: Oregon 19 points, A and M 10, Tennessee 10, Florida 9. Middle Tennessee State has 6 right now and is guaranteed at least three more points in the 800. MTSU will likely finish ahead of Bama.

After last night's women's competition, Oregon doesn't look like a repeat champion. I'd put my money on Arkansas.

If you get to watch only one event tonight, make it the 800. Jim Ryun's record turned 50 today! Four men in the field have a shot at that. If MTSU's big guy, Rutto, goes out in 50 again, the record could fall. Watch A&M's Brazier or Miss St's McBride.

 

[TheChief]

Tony Brown gets sixth - All - American - in the 110 hurdles.

 

[TheChief]

50 year old record goes down! Brazier ran 1:43.55! Holy cow! Freshman...

Teamwise Alabama finishes in 64th place with Tony Brown's three points. The Tide tied Lasalle, South Alabama, Navy, and Eastern Michigan among others.

Florida won the title edging out Arkansas and Texas A&M. Tennesssee did finish sixth. Yuck.

MTSU ended up in 18th place in the team standings.

I missed on Haney from the quote above. He got tangled up in the first lap and almost fell, then never got out of the back of the pack in a race that went much, much faster than championship races usually go.

 

[EasyTider]

Is it safe to assume Marlon has given up track?

 

[TheChief]

Who knows? He's listed as a sophomore on the track website, but it sure looks like it. Or track might have given up on him. @TerryP got any insight?
