I hope so too.

Otherwise, a GIANT hit to our NC hopes.

Great race by Henri in the 5000 meters. I am really surprise by his kick on the last lap.

Results now showing. Still listed as DQ. Would seem any protest was dismissed

To be honest rock whilst it is a hit Its been the only thing that has gone wrong on the men's side. Pretty good place for the guys and gals if the 4 by 400's go through.

Dave Brown qualifies first in the men's triple jump. This is great.

I was not expecting for him to qualify.

Triple Jump -- nice!

4 x 400 men win their heat.

Must feel good to be on top and have everyone else chase after you.

not drunk... Gamedrunk!!!

So, what was the final result of the Men's 4x100 team? Also, how many men and women did we advance to the championship? I can't find any final results.

The 4 x 100 is out and will not run in the national championship meet. The protest at the meet revolved around the 3rd exchange.

It was clear that the exchange was made outside of the zone. The reason the exchange was made outside of the zone was not as clear.

PJ left early and that was part of the reason they did not make the exchange. There was an issue with the team in the lane just inside of A&M. The 4th runner had his arm out and Michael Bryan ran into it as he approached the exchange zone. That threw his stride off and he was not able to get to PJ in time to make a legal exchange.

A&M protested this as obstruction, but the meet official and the NCAA did not agree. They are out and the team will have to really step up to win it all now.

There is an article about this on Aggie Athletics. Our men will have 20 entries at the championships and our women will have 16 entries. There is no information about how this compares to other schools, however.

I have not seen the new T&F Formcharts yet. They will be interesting.

According to the updated best performances, the possible NCAA Meet results would be:

MEN:
Texas A&M – 62
Oregon – 50
Arkansas – 46
Florida State – 41
Florida – 38
USC – 35
LSU – 32

WOMEN:
Kansas – 51
LSU – 44
Florida – 43
Oregon – 42
Texas A&M – 38
UCF – 38
Arizona State – 36
Arizona – 33

The women especially have an uphill battle on their hands. Nobody in the 400 - I still don't know why Kamaria Brown did not compete in the 400 - and the loss of Shelbi Vaughn hurt them a lot. If all 4 make it through in the 100 and all 3 in the 200 (unlikely), and some other unexpected points can be found, perhaps in the Javelin or Triple Jump, exceeding expectations in the 4X4, winning the 100mH, or major foul ups by other teams, they have a chance.

Losing Vaughn essentially killed the women's chances. Would have been iffy with her but without her about all you can say is we have a "puncher's chance".

So how's the track team looking? How many are going to nationals, etc.?
