However, considering those folks from the NCAA committees, they could have been confused as Fayetteville is in the west?! |

I think the selection committee didn't want to compete with Arkansas in the East Regional.

Fayetteville isn't the farthest east you could go and still be in the West Regional for track. Illinois is in the West Regional.
East and west regionals are split roughly in half by athlete population. It doesn't follow conferences or geography.

Sometimes the west regional is in the Pacific time zone. I've seen them in Eugene and at Sacramento. They are in Austin fairly often also.

Sometimes the NCAA can be brilliant. Explain the OVERABUNDANCE of National Championships in Eugene. I guess National means 80% of the time in Oregon. |

I guess National means 80% of the time in Oregon. i've seen college track and field in a few places. Even when "nobody cares" in Eugene, it's 100 times better than Sacramento, Seattle, Tucson, and probably everywhere else. |

Even when "nobody cares" in Eugene, it's 100 times better than Sacramento, Seattle, Tucson, and probably everywhere else. Oh, I have no problem with it. A very reasonable explanation for how West Regional was given. It isn’t AR fault that their population is on the left side of map for the west half of the country. The complaint was that the West was getting somehow screwed. I was asking if the West was getting screwed, how could Oregon (the State) get so many National championship locations awarded. (And I’ve seen college track in every one of the mentioned loacations. Add LA, San Diego, Fresno—Clovis really, Austin, Des Moines, Sioux Falls, Baton Rouge, Manhattan, Chicago…the list goes on) |

Doesn't look like anyone qualified for the National meet this year. Jade Whitfield looks like she scratched on her two final attempts in the Discus, Kate Sorensen didn't have her best race, and Dede Norman didn't quite reach her normal high jump height. Fayetteville was only 79F but humidity 78%, so Southern heat probably wasn't a factor.
Hope we see continued improvement for next year. We have a young and improving group of distance runners.

One qualifier in the Heptathlon: Anneke Moersdorf SR OR State 5596 |
