Flotrack: Tiernan Drops NCAA 3k
UPDATE #2: The Etrain Crew has decided that we will simply cancel out Patrick Tiernan from our predictions. He simply will not count when tallying the prediction scores. His name has been highlighted in red to emphasize that he will not count in the scoring.
I'm liking Garrett's predictions the best. Etrain needs to work on his NCAA game.
ReplyDeleteI know very little about NCAA’s and sorry my predictions are late

Turned out to be solid predictions, as always. However.. Big fan of David Elliott? Liked him so much, you put him twice on the mile. Very solid picks though, probably ended up beating mine!
Delete- Dylan
Hahaha looks like he ended up right in the middle of my two predictions. I bombed the 800, and for some unknown reason I doubted Ches would be in the DMR. Never again will I doubt the king.
DeleteI have to agree that these were pretty solid predictions. I'll have the scores tallied up sometime later tonight.
DeleteHockenbury had it going today. DTW didn't.
ReplyDeleteOH had a tough night too. Dahl was on and it looks like DTW got a 3:08 out of Barton which if correct is shocking they weren't in the mix down the stretch.
DeleteAnyone have splits?
DeleteNBIN changed them around a couple times, but they ended up being 3:10.07, 50.96 from Alleyne, 1:59.01 from Jax (ouch), 4:15.71 from Josh (nice!).
DeleteI suspect it was a bit closer to 3:08 high from Barton and 4:17 low from Josh; nevertheless, strong times from those two. Let's see if they can break 10:05 at Penn Relays in six weeks.
I'm not sure if Jaxson was a little injured because if not, I'm interested why they moved him to the 800. Also, he was a DNS for the championship mile.
DeleteNCAA distance finals. Always a huge yawn. Why can't these guys ever have an honest race instead of jogging until 200 meters to go. Unwatchable.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, very true. A rabbit takes them half way, they line up single file with little jockeying then just sprint at the bell. High school competition is more strategic and passionate.
