The formchart has A&M with two scores for some reason. If you total up the scores the total is 57 which is the same as they were predicted to score before the meet.

haha, we're going to come in second and sixteenth.

Nice catch.

If the total score is even between two teams is it a split national championship or is their a tie break?

If Galen Rupp would just pull a hammey or something...

The ladies side is gonna be clooooooossseee

Oregon is projected to get 14 points from the Heptathlon, so it is worth watching.

After one event (yeah I know it's early) they are sitting at 7th and 14th and are accounting for 2 points.

nvm

After 2 Hep events, Oregon is 6th and 18th, which equals 3 points.

Trinity Otto is currently in 3rd with six of his ten events completed.

How strong is he in the remaining four events?

Brianne Theisen, who is the #1 seed coming in from Oregon is only a freshman I believe.

Through 2 events, she's about on pace with what she did at Pac-10's. Her hurdles were a little faster at NC's, and her high jump was a little lower. She is just all around solid in everything but the shot, but only won the high jump at Pac-10's, so expect her to just hold steady around top 5 or 6 in most events, and the competitors will slip back.

Mcfaddin, the other Oregon girl, jumped the same high jump and was about .10 slower in her hurdles today. Her best events are the 800 and the throws, so look for her to surge up in the remaining events.

Doesn't seem like the Oregon girls are doing particularly poorly, just the field is passing them. Expect them both to finish in the money.

if a tie, whichever team finishes the highest in the 4x100 relay is the NC!! We wish!! LOL

Otto is projected to finish 6th. Anything better than that helps the Aggies!

After 4 Hep events...

Oregon is 4th and 6th which equals 8 points.

Let's go Ags

At the Big 12 meet, Otto had a low score (4:59 time for score of 500+) from the 1500, which is the final event. Unless he just had a bad race then, he's going to need some cushion in his score to stay where he is.

Thanks Plano

First points are on the board. Florida women lead with 10 points, followed by ASU with 8 after Shot put.

De'lon Isom advanced to the semi's of the 110 hurdles. Top at-large qualifier (aka best time that wasn't top 3 in their heat). Not likely to final, but it's possible

That's a gain of 2 points for ASU based on projections. They were projected 3rd in women's shot put.

Silver lining is she knocked of a Tennessee girl, which effectively eliminates them from contention.

Porscha in the 200 just went a season best by .2 in the prelims, and didn't look like she was trying.

Julian Reid finishes in fourth in the long jump, earns 5 pts

How many points were we projected to get in the long jump?

Through one final...the shot put, the women's standings look like this:

1) Florida 10
2) Arizona State 8
3) Tennessee 6
4) Purdue 5
5) Illinois 4
6) Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo 3
7) Florida State 2
8) Air Force 1

He was projected 3rd for 6 points.

Men's standings through the long jump final...

1) Florida State 10
2) Middle Tennessee State 8
3) Nebraska 6
4) Texas A&M 5
5) LSU 4
6) Arkansas 3
6) Arizona 3

Gerald wins his 200m heat in 20.85

Porscha is tuned up. Only 3/4 of a second faster than the closest qualifier. An eternity in the 200M. Favorable wind, but still.

Not much of significance for the Ags in the 400m women's or men's 400m hurdle, so if you need to eat dinner, now is the time. Pole Vault is going on in Decathalon, but not great coverage there from the video.

Good to see Dominque Duncon sneaking in there as well in the 200.

Lucas being tuned up might have been an understatement.

Darn, I was hoping Julian might move up a spot or two in the long jump.

He was about 3 cm or so from moving up a spot.

Oregon girl just moved up from 10th to 3rd in the long jump. Ouch.
