We kicked a** in the mile relay--all we need are a couple of throwers and we cruise. We used to rule the shot put.

If Grant doesn't fall in the 400H could of been a different outcome.

What happened with Auburn? They have 2 guys capable of sub 45 but finish with a 52 and 47.

I feel for Robert Grant. He is a stud and one of those guys who lays it all on the line every time he lines up. Very bad luck in the hurdle race. I hope that we keep Kyriazis and Victor. Agents and their country's federation could push them to go pro. If they are back we will be very tough again next year. Great season for these guys.

Just bad luck with Grant slipping. Dixon needed to know he had to finish near Arroyo but he didn't.

The meet got away from us with the poor results in the 800 and 400h.

Still a great team performance overall. 3 individual champions and 1 relay title.

Feel bad for Grant as well. He shows up to every track meet and does his job. Just sucks that it happen.

Do feel for Grant. His indoor season started with being spiked on the ankle/foot by another runner, now the slip planting for the hurdle.

Great year and good meet. Tough break slipping and falling close to the lead in the hurdles, that kinda ended our shot. Proud of Coach and the guys

Not forgetting if the high jumper and triple jumper had jump any way close to their best would have also scored. Jeff had a SB of 16.28 m and Cragin had jumped 2.18 m. As coach Henry always says who can do the best on the day will win the championship

It really is turning into a great rivalry.
You guys got the indoor, we got the outdoor, both incredibly close with some odd events.

Don't forget Wil Williams was in second until the last jump where he was passed by the Florida guy. That was a lost of 2 points. There were many events where the points could have swung. A tremendous season overall. Now time to rebuild with the loss of Fred Kerley and Lindon Victor. Hope the women's team could get potential scorers in other events such as 100m and 400m hurdles, field events and distance. Sprints are so competitive now and we are not dominant in sprints anymore.

Can Victor play outside linebacker? Geez.

Anyone know if this guy has any eligibility?

I concur that the Auburn performance was suspect. Two guys in the 400 final and they run 3:12? That is horse*****

Lindon is indeed a senior. He and Kerley will be impossible to replace in the near-term. The boys will still be quite competitive though.

The women's team will only lose Aaliyah Brown (as far as NCAA scorers go) but will add multiple athletes who will be able to score at NCAA's in multiple events. The two squads should be much more even next season IMO.

Lindon competed in only two outdoor meets in his sophomore year in 2015. Not sure if he did redshirt his outdoor season in 2015 then he might be eligible for one more outdoor season.
The men's team should still be descent next year with our Javelin throwers still being around, our incoming Freshman Gabe in Discuss an shot put. Will Williams will be a senior as well. I await to see if we would get any sprinters and jumpers transfering from junior college.
Our women's team loss a potential 16 points in the 4x100m relay disqualification and Jazmine Fray not qualifying. Hope those who qualify could pull some surprises today and help the team get into the top 10.
Next year our women's team will have Sammy Watson and Tyra Gittens. Maybe we may get a couple of additions over the summer. If wasn't for some injuries we might have done much better this season. Amber Ivy, Danyel White and Lajarvia Brown could have made a huge difference

I was also impressed with the 4x100m men relay team. Coach Henry did a great job with a long jumper, a 200m specialist, a freshman and a 400m runner clocking 38.72.

There were points won and lost by us and UF all over the meet. If we had been able to get into second in the long jump that would have been the difference as we would have gained two and UF lost two.

I think pole vault and high jump points are the most tenuous in the meet. There are lots of jumpers very close to each other and misses at lower heights that are then cleared usually determine all the places from 3 to 8.

Having lived in Oregon for 10 years, I think the weather there is awful for non-Pacific Northwest folks to adjust to. I think yesterday was intermittent rain and temps in the 50s. So you have a slippery track and frozen competitors. The only folks who benefit from that are the distance runners. And that weather is typical for this time of the year at least once during a four day period.

I have no idea why the NCAA got in bed with Oregon to host this meet for such a long time.

Might have to do with a certain sports equipment\clothing company in the area?!

Really excited to see the women next year. If we want to be competitive, I think we can move some pieces around though, so we can get to 60 points to have a chance to win. Carter is running well on the 4x4, so I hope Reed, Desrosiers, Baird, Carter, and Kerley can be our 4x4 backbone. I hope we can drop Jazmine from the 4x4 even though she is a really good leg and have her and Sammy focus on 800-1500/mile. I can see them being deadly in these sit and kick mile races that tend to dominate the rounds. If Tyra can long jump 21'+, I'd love to see her compete in that and the hept since the hept and HJ would probably be too tough being the same day. Add in our throwers and some short sprint points from White and others and that should get us there.

Between Hite, Malouf, and Boltie maybe we can get some qualifiers in the multis to scratch out some 6th-8th place finishes at nationals. Gabe will brings some points in the throws eventually but it'll be tough depending on a freshman in the the throws. We need to find some short sprint points and hope Richard Rose, Eric Age, and Kyree Johnson step up in the 400 to keep our relays up there.

We also have to find Grimes' replacement and who knows if they have someone ready to go with them.

Didn't Karis Jochen red-shirt this year? She will compete next year or am I wrong.
