The rankings may be 'low' but we are clearly decimated by injuries to many of our best athletes. Probably a miracle we are still in the top 6 in both.

That first heat of the men's 4x400....I'm assuming it's a random draw and they didn't just decide to put the best teams in the same heat on purpose...

Based off of regional performance and placing.

As the Ag's prepare for this week's Nationals in Eugene for what should be a "pretty good" meet (injuries have pretty much taken both the men and women's team out of title contention) I can't help but be excited by the prospects of next year. Besides some great new talent and returnees, the team will inaugurate their new state of the art facility. So my question is, what kind of schedule are they planning for the first season in the new facility. Will they try to host any "big" invitationals or duals? Just curious as to what the outdoor plans look like.
Also one question on the men's team status...I understand that Bob Grant has been granted a redshirt season for this year, so he will return, but what about multi's performer Nathan Hite. He did not compete outdoors in '15 and while I understand he received his ring already, does he plan to compete next year? THANKS and good luck in Eugene this weekend!!

My understanding is the only seniors competing at NCAA's are Alex Riba, Audie Wyatt, Kristen Clark and Shaina Burns.

I would expect there to be multiple meets in April 2019.

I would be surprised if they have any major meets the first year. It takes a good bit of planning to put on a track meet.

I bet they will wait until they see how the track and facilities are before they start planning meets. It would be great if they could plan a few small meets with only a few teams. Like six, seven, or eight teams.

I sure hope they start soon.

Dixon with a 44.45 anchor...3:01.13 winning their heat.

So we should have 6 points after today and have Dixon in the 800, Tucker in the 400H, Triki in the TJ and the 4 x 400 relay. Devin Dixon is THE MAN! What an anchor leg!

Can you list the projected Top 10 Women's teams on their form chart? Would greatly appreciate it.

Form Chart had us in 7th coming in with 29 points. The previous chart had us at 3rd.

Women's 4x100 reaches the final as the fastest qualifier on time (7th overall).

Good job by the 4 X 100 relay getting through to Saturday. Announcers said bad weather on Saturday and forecast is for rain tomorrow afternoon.

Form chart review along with looking at schedule was interesting in that it would be extremely difficult for someone to double in 200/400h or 400/400h, especially coming back in the 4x400. Being Kentucky was only 6 points back on form chart seems to make that relevant. I remember people doubling in 200/400 then coming back in 4x400 relay in the past....perhaps they've shortened up the program.

A couple of years ago they moved all the men's finals to Friday and the women's finals to Saturday. Before that the finals were a little more spread out over Friday and Saturday, and it was a little easier to run multiple races.
JimInBCS

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking it was something like that. I suppose Sydney wouldn't be the only one to double if it were doable...so maybe it evens out.

With both the men and women running the same day there was more rest in between races also. When the men won the title in 2013 Henry Lelei came in 2nd in the steeplechase on Friday and got 8th In the 5000 on Saturday. Could not do that now.
