June 9, 20232 yr I think the first leg saw a Tennessee runner (orange and white) thinking it was a Texas runner. It can be the only explanation. I bet Texas is getting DQed here.
June 9, 20232 yr Texas DQ'ed. Still the favorites to win it all but that lowers the margin for error in finals. What a terrible mistake.
June 9, 20232 yr Our women's team is just snakebit over the last 3 years, but no excuse for that huge blunder

Best path for Arkansas is to just hope Alfred has a really bad day or isn't fully healthy. Smith already scored above her expected value in the Long Jump and Texas qualified a shit load of sprinters in finals.
June 9, 20232 yr Florida had a terrible night. They're done. Texas vs Arkansas for the title. Need the sprinters to do what they did in the prelims and Texas will win.
June 9, 20232 yr 11 hours ago, Rickylovesweed said: Ackelia Smith needed a big jump to even qualify for the final nine on her 3rd attempt. Then she had a huge jump on her final attempt to win the Long Jump. Feels like a defining moment for a team that hasn't been able to get over the hump. Ice in her veins. I was sitting first row by the pits. She fucking soared on that jump.
June 9, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, Grade of D as in David said: I was sitting first row by the pits. She fucking soared on that jump. Even a bigger moment now in the context of the 4x400 DQ.
June 9, 20232 yr *Triggered* I remember watching those FloSports projections last year showing Texas at the top until that lead slowly slipped away after each subsequent projection. Edited June 9, 20232 yr by perfectchaos007

Yup. I stopped checking. I'm wondering if I should follow along tomorrow since I'll be at a bbq/pool party.
June 10, 20232 yr Brutal, Texas Tech wins the 4x1 on the men's side but ends up getting DQ'ed. They had a shot at a national title but that's out the window now.

June 10, 20232 yr It was a good day for Blazevica in the heptathlon. In 6th through 4 events but 2/3 events tomorrow are her best events. Edited June 10, 20232 yr by Rickylovesweed
June 10, 20232 yr Stanford men just won the 200 and 5000. That moves them to 3rd. Probably going to take championships in women's t&f and baseball to win the director's cup.

June 10, 20232 yr Even if Texas wins the NC on the womens side, they would also have to win the CWS to move ahead of stanford godammit

June 10, 20232 yr Went to the men’s finals yesterday and after a few minutes realized I was sitting next to Justin Gatlin. Making it back-to-back by going to the women’s finals tonight. Top level track and field meets are a blast. The 100m yesterday had 7 dudes under 10s, the winner was 9.89 That’s hauling ass. Edited June 10, 20232 yr by Fudge Nuggets
June 10, 20232 yr Huge PB for Blazevica in the javelin with only 1 event left and it's arguably her best event. I don't know where Flotrack had Blazevica projected in the heptathlon but I would think 2nd-4th would be above expected value. I figured she would finish in the 5th-8th range.
June 11, 20232 yr Blazevica in 5th in the heptathlon with 1 event left. Think she has the potential to move up to the 3rd or 4th with a good run in the 800M which has been her strongest event.
June 11, 20232 yr Texas WINS the 4x1. Great start. Also, Arkansas finishes 4th. Can't ask for a better start.
June 11, 20232 yr 100M coming up for Texas. We need huge points here with Alfred and 3 sprinters in finals.
June 11, 20232 yr 1st, 5th, and 7th. Big points for Texas. Ackelia Smith currently 2nd in the triple jump.
June 11, 20232 yr 400M coming up for Arkansas. This is where they need huge points and for Adeleke to have a bad race for Texas.
June 11, 20232 yr Arkansas still picked up big points there finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th but Adeleke pulls off exactly what we needed. You can really hear her Irish accent.
June 11, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Mo Horn said: Does that pretty much clench it for us? Avoid false starts in the 200. 3 in finals. Nothing stupid.
June 11, 20232 yr I would expect Tobias to finish 5th to 9th in the 800 but she looked really good yesterday.

June 11, 20232 yr Damn I wish our 4x4 was running. We would sweep both relays also I would love for college to run the 4x200 m relay Edited June 11, 20232 yr by D3zii
June 11, 20232 yr Ackelia Smith coming up so big for Texas. Likely scoring 18 points for Texas this weekend.
June 11, 20232 yr 4 minutes ago, D3zii said: Damn I wish our 4x4 was running. We would sweep both relays also I would love for college to run the 4x200 m relay True but even if Texas avoided the DQ they might not have run the 4x4 if they had a big enough lead. It's the last event.
