Yeah I just hope Santorum can run with some confidence and fearlessness to stay up top!

Looking forward to the SEC indoor championship next week. It will be my first indoor meet since the 2017 NCAA indoor national championship at the old indoor facility. That 4x400 that won the championship for the Aggies was the most exciting race I have ever seen! And man was that place loud! Cannot wait to see the new facility and watch the meet!

Sounds awesome!! I still get chills watching that race! You're in for a great meet! Later this weekend or Monday I'll have a thread up and preview for the conference meet! Have a blast!

Props to Santorum for crushing that first leg. Set the rest of them up well. Thought it was risky to run Zamzow when he's arguably not even one of your top four 400 guys but he performed well too. The last two did a great job. Very impressive effort. Hope it's good enough to get them through.

Agreed! But maybe at nationals Zamzow can focus on the DMR leg! Lots of logistics to be sorted out! But I love potentially other top schools risking to double up their guys in the DMR, whereas we can roll in with fresh guys! However I'd love if Farquharson can make the 800 for nationals! That 800 will be my race to watch next week at conference!

Unfortunately Arkansas has 18 marks in the top 16 and USC has 13

Important events for us next weekend will be the 400, 800, and long jump. If Nortje and Hatib don't PR they'll most likely lose their spots. The 800 was suppose to be a big event for us, but we have no one in the top 16. The 800's at indoor conference aren't known for being blazing fast, so I'm worried there. Long jump, we're gonna need some PR'a desperately to give us a chance. We're gonna need a lot more points to compete with USC and Arkansas for a national title, as of now it's a two race between them

I'd bet a very significant amount of money that Zamzow runs DMR if they qualify.

The 800 situation is a big reason why I had pushback about the DMR. Farquharson has to now run three tough 800 races in eight days (which doesn't even include a potential 4x4 leg). His points count the same as the DMR at championship meets.
taylorswift13_
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah I think we don't put much effort into the DMR next weekend, maybe keep Zamzow on the 4x400 so Farquharson can focus on the 800 and go for time on one of them!

I hope Whitmarsh is physically and mentally ready to go! If healthy, I think he needs to front race his 800 prelim and just let it all out! But the top 16 in the 800 right now is 1:46.6

I just really wish we can get someone through in the 800, keep 3 guys to make it in the 400, and maybe another jumper! USC with JC Stevenson and Johnny Brackins are going to be hard to stop, then alone will be in contention for 30-40 points. Now USC also has 3 guys in the 400 and a couple other sprinters. Arkansas has some solid field eventers to go with Abdalla and Kiprop in the distance events.

Speaking of USC's Brackins just went 7.44 in the 60 hurdles at USATF Indoors

The DMR predictions will be fun! I wonder if Sam Whitmarsh can go 1:46 on the relay, with Antonie Nortje and Hossam Hatib fresh what could they run on the split! Kimar Farquharson had the fastest split on the 4x400, but Cutler was right behind and with two DMR races he's used to getting the baton from Santorum!

Luca Santorum
Cutler Zamzow / Antonie Nortje
Sam Whitmarsh / Kimar Farquharson
Cooper Cawthra

We're also only 1 of 3 schools who don't have a runner in the 800 or mile prelims or the 5000. Us, Wisconsin, and Virginia Tech. So the other DMR schools will either have people running their second race of the day or have to run somebody else

Love to see those low, single digit rankings coming into the national meet - where the top-end talent wins championships! Anything can happen, but I'm excited to see how our Aggies fight!

Also, random thought, but I'm hesitant to expect Sam Whitmarsh to deliver a blistering performance over the next couple of months, not because I doubt him as a runner (quite the opposite haha), but because of timing. This isn't backed up by anything, but I'm expecting his training for this season to be structured around the World Athletics Championships that happen in mid-September, since (I'm assuming) he's a graduating senior that has potential to grow his track value by large amounts with a big performance! I also saw a quick interview with him, maybe on Flotrack(?), where he said he wasn't expecting his performance as SEC's. That makes me think that either his training isn't centered around the indoor season or he's had some nagging injuries. Either way, I know he'll be a monster for us this year and I'm super excited for him to make the jump to the world stage, whenever he does! I love how he reps Aggie pride, but mostly how he represents living a joyful life in Christ!

Yeah that was a strange answer lol! But he knows his capabilities, I'm glad he got a good run him to show how talented he is! He took down the Miss State who went 1:45 indoors. More consistent training and I bet Whitmarsh goes 1:43/1:44 outdoors!

Did not know where or who to ask this to. Maybe Caden's mom or a coach or past runner will chime in as well. Lactic acid build up. In the case of say Auhmad and others having to run a 400 and hour or less until the 4x400. What is the process for recovery? My daughter runs the 800, but also will run 400 as well this year. The 800 is before the 400. Any pointers?

Great question, unfortunately I can't answer. I will definitely defer to those here with more experience.
In HS, sophomore year forward he consistently ran 800,400 & 4x400...
That was probably too much, but w/ my basketball background I was just trying to learn as fast as I could...

I saw that… I wonder how much of it is related to Asinga, there's been a few other Monteverde track athletes who got suspended as well! Really unfortunate
