re: Women are National XC Champs and Complete the Calendar Year Triple Crown

Thanks man!

15 of 21 scored so far. Place in the title.

Women should run up the score here in the 5k.

The difference for the men between 3rd and 2nd was Gabe's underachieving in the decathlon and not getting qualifyers from multiple sprinters. NH on the vault and DNF in the 1500 from Gabe. I bet he's got a fire under his arse and will put on a clinic next meet. Should have got 10 or 8 from him. On the bright side, the men's 4x4 put in a SB and might have got a national qualifier. Good meet as both teams finished right where they were supposed to.

ETA: Moore apparently strained a hamstring on Friday evening. More bad luck for the Men.

Nationals is a numbers game. The more you qualify the better chance you have to win a team title. Top 48 performances put up nationally before the qualifying end date get to go to prelims. Best prelim times go to Nationals. There's almost no chance the women don't repeat. This is the strongest and deepest team Harter has ever had. The men are qualifying 8 as of today based on past performances. Honestly, that could work to their advantage since there won't be a lot of qualifiers having to run multiple races. E.G. they could push the pace and get points where they otherwise wouldn't in a season meet. Top 10 isn't a stretch and if they get a few breaks 5th-6th could be possible.

It's actually kind of effed up because the way nationals are run, conference championships really don't mean anything. However, top performances is the most fair way to choose.

Edited for clarity on qualifying.

OP updated with west prelim qualifying lists. Prelims will be held starting Thursday next week. Woo Pig

Apologies ahead of time if I don’t get to update in a timely manner. Family matriarch’s birthday and we gotta do it up for her 89th. She’s the last one too. Both my parents are dead but I digress. Just wanted to a. Let you know why I’m slacking b. Remind y’all that there is more important shite than Arkansas sports. Cheers!

Great job by the women. Hopefully they can perform up to their abilities at nationals and get another title.

After Thursday’s action, the ladybacks lead with the majority of points coming from a pole vault championship from Hoggard.

The women get finals qualifiers in every event they were entered into except the 1500. The one disappointment was Peyton Chadwick’s false start in the 200 which disqualified her from the race. This is really too bad because the ladybacks will miss on some automatic points because of it.

The men’s decathlon also finished last night with Moore finishing 3rd putting the first points on the board for the Razorbacks.

Lucky for you, you are wrong. The only things scored yesterday for the women were the 10000 and the field events. Which they received a number one (pole vault) and number 4 finish (10000) for 15 respectively. Little early to be freaking out.

I was hoping for points from either Jacobus or Freier. We need all we can get to beat USC.
