Amos could have qualified for the mile, but he gave up his spot to Ahmed, and he is anchoring the DMR. Additionally, Katrina also qualified for the mile, but the 3000m and DMR is enough for her.

Nice representation. Let's hope for some strong results!

[Nevada Hoya]

I don't think the men have scored at the national meet in a few years. This presents their best chance to finish in the top 8 in a couple of events. Both men and women's DMR qualified with the best times. But there are tough teams to contend with. Oregon, Penn State, and Nova on the men's side and Arkansas and Stanford on the women's side. But both teams should score points in these events.

Perfect -we can watch DMR win right before we watch DSR win (see what I did there?).

[Nevada Hoya]

By running his 3rd sub-4 minute mile, Ahmed Bile qualified for the mile finals on time. You had to run a 4:00.00 time or better to qualify for the finals. Must be a record for fastest prelims on NCAA indoor record. Third fastest qualifier is the son of Hoya great John Gregorek. The son graduated from Columbia last year and is enjoying his red-shirt year with Oregon.

[Nevada Hoya]

Ryan Manahan made it to the finals of the 800m, and if he does not get DQ'ed or get a DNF, he will pick up points for the men, which has been a rare occurrence lately.

Great 2nd and 3rd legs for the Hoyas.

[reformation]

Seems like the women peaked too earl yin their training-all seemed worn out. Men ran very strong race. With a little more experience on anchor they could have gotten second--both teams should be back strong again next yr

At this point I do not know who ran our DMR legs.

[Nevada Hoya]

The men ran Williams, White, Ledder and Bartelsmeyer


The women ran Coogan, DeLoache, Donaghu and Nadel

[reformation]

strange lineup for the women , the they must have felt that they could not win the dmr, and wanted to conserve the athletes for individual races
