Everyone has stepped up……great team performances.
4 UH women in the upcoming 200 meter
I would think this has the real possibility of sealing this up for the Lady Coogs.
Watching the Coog interviews make me just as proud of them as their meet performances.
Quivell looked like he was dying. I have to think the 400 hurdles is the toughest race
My son ran the 400H in college……pretty sure he agrees.
1,3 and 7 for the women in the 200
Did coaches put him on the 4x400? He may not catch his breathe before that starts, lol. I was reminded how big time Lattin was for us two years ago. Going back out for a good 400 relay split after the 110 and 400 hurdles has to hurt.
7 or 8 men in 200 are Coogs and one Cinci guy.
New American record Sean M. with 19.93.
Coogs in 1,2 and 4-8
Alright, this guy is stupid fast. Only a freshman! 2nd fastest 200m time in the NCAA.
Women up by 42.66 points with two events to go.
Men up by 19.5 points with two events to go
This thread is the next best thing to being there……thanks for making it fun!
The 4x400 will be a victory lap for the conference title, but it could be important qualifying for regionals. Need to run like 3:07 flat to qualify.
In the upcoming men’s 5000, Wichita looks to have four runners in the top 25 qualifying times, and two at nos. 9 and 10.
Doesn’t look like UH has a chance for any points in this.
So WSU could make this interesting. Men are racing in about 25 minutes or so.
Thanks along you guys; I’m really enjoying your posts and this meet! Keep these posts coming!’
I should add that UH has the best qualifying time in the 4x400. So absent a disaster, I would think we’ll outscore Wichita in this event. Wichita’s qualifying time is 9 seconds behind UH and third slowest.
Unless the Tulsa team got food poisoning, we should be fine. They dominate the 5k with all the cross country guys. Only a DQ in the 4x400 would maybe cost us.
I have to admit I was a bit concerned as the season progressed, but this is a perfect example of how to coach T&F beyond just technique. It’s all about peaking at the right time and no one does it better than our coaches.
Yea, that’s the disaster I’ve referenced.
I was at the final CUSA championship at Rice. And UH lost the baton on the final lap of the 4x400 (Eric Futch, then to transfer to Florida and win a natty with them) and lost the championship to UTEP by only a couple of points. Crushing.
I think Isaiah Sweeney won four golds that day. Otherwise it was a great day.
I love our distance runners.
All heart
