There will be a link to Oregon State's runners sometime; however, neither Grace or Kaylee placed in the 3000m. Unfortunately, the camera people only show the winners. Kaylee just missed the finals by one place in the Mile. There were some amazing performances by various athletes. I'm guessing the distance marks were held back by the lack of O2 at elevation because both Grace and Kaylee have run faster mile and 3k times than the winning times today. - Georgia athlete, Kyle Garland, set the Collegiate record in the Heptathlon. Amazing athlete that looks like a 6' 5" Bo Jackson. He high jumped 6' 11.5", LJ 26' 1.5", Shot put 53' 11.75" among other heptathlon events.
- Florida athlete, Jasmine Moore, set the collegiate record in both the long jump and triple jump going 23' 0.75" and 49' 7.25" respectively.
- Texas athlete, Julien Alfred, set the women's 60m record at 6.94.
- Arkansas' 4x400 relay squad crushed the women's record by over 2 seconds with a winning time of 3:21.75
I'm sure there are other notable performances.

Women's 3K results: flashresults.ncaa.com/Indoor/2023/022-1-01.htmHaving an NCAA track meet at a mile of altitude makes no sense. No way does it encourage record performances and it penalizes 99% of the athletes, who do not train or compete at 5,300 feet. Mitchell and Grace have run 15 seconds faster than the champions time at sea level. |

No way does it encourage record performances and it penalizes 99% of the athletes, who do not train or compete at 5,300 feet. Jumpers and throwers might beg to differ. Throwing events are curtailed indoors. No javelin, hammer or discus. Just shot put and the weight throw. Most events at the indoor championships are running events. And holding them at 5200 feet is not conductive to great performances. But I guess you have to have it someplace and there aren't a whole lot of places bidding to hold it. The indoor meet is the JV meet compared to the outdoor championships anyway. |

One of the "complaints" about Bob Beamon's LJ record at Mexico City was that the elevation is 7300ft there. It sounds like a PITA to calculate something to see what theoretical distance gain there might be. Note that there were records set in both the women's LJ and TJ this last weekend.

It sounds like a PITA to calculate something to see what theoretical distance gain there might be. Note that there were records set in both the women's LJ and TJ this last weekend. Everyone jumped at the same altitude. Beamon just happened to hit one extraordinary jump. If it was simply the altitude, the other jumpers would have posted incredible marks too. Beamon was an outstanding LJ long before Mexico City. I have a friend who jumped against him at the Penn Relays. Beamon got one jump off, the judges measured but could not believe their measurement and were threatening not to count it, so he did it again. Or so the story goes. |

Not to get in the middle of a pissing match...but for clarity. Javelin is actually better performed at lower altitudes. The implement needs some of the air friction for lift--or whatever the correct terminology is. (much like airplanes) |
