Texas Track and Field

This is going to be closer than expected because the sprints didn't qualify as many as expected to finals. Unfortunately, I don't think Simon is healthy which probably also played a role in her not running the 200. Simon didn't look right at all running the 400. 

Think this will actually come down to Arkansas and Texas. 

We need Alred to have a big day. Needs to win the 60, needs to finish 1st or 2nd in the 200, and needs to help us finish 1st or 2nd in the relay.

If Texas finishes 1st in the relay and Arkansas 2nd it would finish tied at 62. I don't know what the tiebreaker is. 

I can’t find that that’s happened before. There’s been ties for 2nd and they’re both runner-up.

Arkansas wins. Just unfortunate Simon wasn't healthy. 

Should probably stop making grand predictions that we are favorites, everything going right for us, etc leading up to it. Ya jinx

64 Arkansas 60 Texas

Texas must think they're jinxed on the women's side. If Simon was healthy that's a 8-15 more points for Texas. Then if more of the top runners enter the mile and Gregory doesn't finish 2nd that's another 4 to 6 point swing. 

Talking a 12-21 point swing because of random/unlucky shit not going their way.

They were the favorites and the women's team has to feel they're jinxed based on what happened in this meet. 

They were 12-20 points better than Arkansas if not for some terrible luck.

NCAA pole vault champ and co-indoor record holder (6.00m) Sondre Guttormsen is grad transferring to Texas to finish out his college career. He was also the European indoor champ (for Norway) a week before winning NCAAs. Sounds like he will finish this outdoor season a Princeton.

How we shaping up for today?

Went as expected and Simon was back to running like her normal self. I'm just hoping the women's team can finally be healthy for the NCAA Championships for once. 

Something was clearly off (injury-wise) with Simon at the Indoor Championships because she's once again running much faster. It has to be frustrating for Texas because if Simon was running the times she was at the Big 12 championships, Texas would have won the Indoor Championship.

I thought they said he was 6'7" on ESPN.  Personal best in the 400 also and the overall lead after Day 1.

The Princeton guy that was a big favorite in the pole vault just went out tied for 6th.  He somehow was getting disoriented and kept not getting far enough forward...he almost came down short of the mat on his last attempt.
