“The UW does not have a 300 meter track. I'm not sure exacly but it is something like 285. So I am not sure your Brilliant Wikpedia idea is going to work Einstein.”
Jordan McNamara: 2:55.0
Chad Barlow: 47.9
Andrew Wheating: 1:48.2
Galen Rupp: 3:58.2
This adds up to 9:29.3 which is a pretty good estimation compared to the actual time they ran. Hopefully this helps anybody who's wondering!
“never mind with that coverage I don't care. If he would shut up with the obvious things that we all can see, maybe we could hear the meet anouncer give splits since he refuses to. With the offbeat size of the track I sure can;t do it because I have no idea where to take them.”
