Steeple semi, 8:02 PM: Two heats, top five advance per heat plus next two times.

The steeple one of the most wide open events of the meet. My coworkers picked MJ Erb, Emmanuel Rotich, and Benard Keter. Putting on the record now that I'm taking Louisville's Edwin Kibichiy.

Heat one is jogging. 3:07 at 1K

This section has two of my favorite names in the NCAA--Jamaine Coleman and Benard Keter

Dylan Blankenbaker goes down! he was fourth last year

Reeder and Erb cranking now. Keter and Carpenter cover it easily, O'Neil and Coleman trying to. Lafond out

Blankenbaker might qualify after falling!

heat one autos: Reeder, Keter, Erb, Blankenbaker, Carpenter

Mitchell Briggs of BYU in this one. His wife, Kristi Rush-Briggs, is in the women's steeple!

Kibichiy's 8:30 is the fastest time in the NCAA this year; he's also the top returner after finishing 3rd last year.

Graham Thomas of UNM wipes out, but like heat one, it's slow enough for him to get back in it, and he does

Heat 2 slightly quicker at the k, 2:58

8:43 and 8:49 are the time qualifiers right now

Kibichiy, Fraley, Fink, Roth, Rotich, Tooker start hammering

4:24 at halfway. bet on this heat producing two time Qs and knocking out Coleman

Kibichiy, Roth, Rotich, Fahy w/200 to go. Fink and Tooker out
Fraley there
heat 2 autos: Kibichiy, Fahy, Rotich, Roth, Noah Schutte
Fraley 8:43.0 he'll time q


110H semi, 8:32 PM: Three heats, top two advance per heat plus next two times.
Team implications: Florida projected 10 points
Actual: Holloway makes the final with the #2 time
NET: No change

David Kendziera wins heat one in 13.39 and cuts 0.21 off his PB!

Grant Holloway up in heat three! Arkansas folks next to me in the press box are mad that Holloway got a special introduction. Holloway had a rollercoaster NCAA indoors as he won the hurdles and had a huge 4x4 but underperformed in the long jump.

Holloway crushed everyone in the first 70 meters before easing up at the end. 13.41 is a new wind-legal PB for Holloway.

100 semi, 8:46 PM: Three heats, top two advance per heat plus next two times.

Watch for Florida's Ryan Clark here. We don't have him projected to advance but he could pick up a point against projections if he does.
Christian Coleman is in heat one.

Collegiate record, world leader, No. 4 American, No. 8 world all-time Christian Coleman 9.82 in the prelims!!!!

That might be the best start I've ever seen

Burrell 9.93, #6 NCAA AT

FS in heat three as everyone was itching to get out

No one DQ'd!

Mylik Kerley fourth in his heat. Doesn't make it

800 semi, 9:14 PM: Three heats, top two advance per heat plus next two times.
Team implications: Texas A&M projected 1 point

200 semi, 9:44 PM: Three heats, top two advance per heat plus next two times.

19.69 is the collegiate record. It's on notice. Coleman on the track now

He coasts to second in 20.21, behind 20.01 from Christopher Belcher

10K final, 10:08 PM:

Here we go. First 10K in the post-Ches world. Marc Scott's kick is the thing to watch here, IMO, but there are probably guys we know nothing about in here. Let's hope for something other than dozens of laps of jogging. Cheserek's three wins: 29:09, 28:58, 28:30

Chelanga of Alabama leads everyone thorough 1K in 2:54. Respectable! Everyone in it
5:53.06 at 2K w/Chelanga and his teammate Antibahs Kosgei leading. So 2:54, 2:58.x

Jacob Choge of Middle Tennessee State leading, 8:49.76 @ 3K

11:47.65 at 4K, Chelanga back in the lead

14:53 at 5K as Butler's Eric Peterson takes over

17:46 @ 6K, Choge, Peterson, lead pack of 15 or so. OK State guys and Bennie are off but mostly everyone's there

Choge, Scott, Peterson leading at 23:36 at 8K

Mile to go. Choge leading around 24:45

Everyone there.

A Navy athlete taking over with three laps to go, 25:54. 67 from Lucas Stalnaker

27:02 with 800 to go. Stalnaker, Reed Fischer of Drake, Marc Scott leading
Peterson, Scott, Arsene Guillorel with a lap to go. Can Samford win another one????

Scott FTW

A&M up in heat one. Just need to get the stick around
AND THEY DO A BIT MORE THAN THAT
2:59.95, tied for #5 performance in collegiate history, don't break their own school record
Despite what the announcers were saying at Hayward, that was clearly Fred Kerley on the anchor

Florida on the track now. The Gator 4x100 didn't make it through, so they'd love to have the points here

Grant Holloway gets them through on the anchor leg

Auburn/Arkansas auto out of h3. That's a wrap on day one, we'll check on field results real quick.
