How was this team ranked #1 for the majority of the early season? Even top 5?
the in season rankings are only based off of in ideal rankings in each event! Some school like Arkansas and Alabama didn't run their top distance guys till conference. We had the number 3 high jumper in the country, but he didn't do anything else aside from that one jump, we had Sam Whitmarsh ranked in the 1500 and Kimar Farquharson in the 400!
On the women's side we two other javelin throwers ranked in the top ten but they both didn't even advance to this meet we had a transfer pole vaulter who placed 4th at this meet last year that didn't make it here also and the one that did underperformed! These rankings had us top 3 all year until the latest one that had our men 5th and women 6th which are pretty accurate…
some teams don't run their best people till the end of the outdoor season anyways, which is something Pat Henry used to do but now he has everyone compete more often! These rankings are computer and rankings based, not on projections
