And if you read my post from yesterday--once again centering on Oversize Tracks--you'll understand.
For THREE of the MAJOR Collegiate Conferences (Big 10, Mountain Pacific, Big 12) were held in OT facilities!
This accomplished one thing, and one thing only--it eliminated ALL oval race times from consideration for All-Time Lists, Meet, Class, and Collegiate Records!!
And there were LOADS of marks at those 3 meets worthy of List & Record consideration!!
All just GONE!!
But the remainder of this Conference Weekend did indeed heat up the Collegiate pot--just 2 weeks away from the National Championship meet!
Nothing is hotter than a Collegiate Record!
Angel Piccirillo--a Villanova senior--took down Kate Van Buskirk's 2011 CR in the 1000 meters (2:41.00), winning the Big East meet title in the CR time of 2:40.82!
And she did it by herself, as Sabrina Southerland finished 5 seconds behind in the Ocean Breeze.
It's also the Senior Class record.
She's now 21st A-T US too!
Pushed OFF my US DDD was Alexa Efraimson!!
In the ACC Women's 5000, the Notre Dame duo of Molly Seidel and Anna Rohrer put on a great show!
Sharing the lead throughout, Seidel finally took control with over 1000 left, winning in 15:19.64, with Freshman Rohrer running a great 15:32.03.
Seidel's ACC Meet Record time makes her 4th A-T Collegiate!
And 8th A-T United States!
For Rohrer, the HSR holder from 2015, her 38 second PR (on a LEGAL track!) gives her 9th A-T Collegiate, and 16th A-T US!!
They both doubled back in the 3000, Seidel winning again, time of 9:02.24.
It's the ACC Meet record!
But it misses the Top 24 list by 0.89 seconds!
Rohrer ran 9:11.24.
The Big East meet had some good races.
The Women's 500 saw Claire Mooney beat Andrea Keklak, 1:10.90 to 1:10.98.
Katrina Coogan took the 3000 in 9:07.44.
Joseph White won the 800 in 1:47.59.
In the ACC, Robert Heppenstahl's 1:47.35 gave him the Meet Record in the 800!
The Big East meet saw a tight (and fast!) Men's DMR.
Georgetown's 9:28.91 edged Villanova's 9:29.17.
For G-town, it's the Big East Meet Record.
Ryan Crouser tied the Collegiate Record in the Shot Put!
Throwing 69-10.25 in the 4th round for a PR, he then exploded out to 71-3.50 (21.73) in the final round, tying Ryan Whiting's CR!
It breaks Whiting's Senior Class record, as Whiting's best was as a Soph!
Crouser broke his own Big 12 Meet Record!
He's now 10th A-T US.
He's also 17th A-T World!
Also at the Big 12, Akela Jones put on quite a show!
Her 6-4 HJ ties the Meet Record, and is the National Record of Barbados!
It makes her 10th A-T Collegiate, tied with 3 others!
She ran the 60H in 8.00, making her 22nd A-T Collegiate, tied with 4 others!
In the LJ, her 22-1.75 winner is also the MR, and the National Record of Barbados!
She moves from 18th A-T Collegiate, tied with 2 others, to 8th!
Also at the Big 12, Ronnie Baker took the 60 in 6.51, giving him the Meet Record.
He moves from 11th A-T Collegiate, tied with 4 others, to 7th, where he's also tied with 4 others!
Jordan Moore's 7.60 in the 60H makes him 20th A-T Collegiate, tied with 4 others!
Kaitlin Petrillose nipped her own Big 12 MR with her Vault of 14-5.50!
Megan Clark got the ACC Meet Record in the PV with her 14-10 mark.
Sydney Clute tied the Big 10 Meet Record with her PV of 14-3.25!
The SEC once again led all Conferences in total number of quality performances.
Maybe the best of these was the 200 of Felicia Brown, her 22.45 being the SEC Meet Record.
And it puts her on the A-T World list, in 12th place!
She's 3rd A-T US.
And she moves from 17th to 3rd on the A-T Collegiate list!
Brown had run 22.73 in her heat, making her then 9th on the Collegiate list!
Nathaneel Mitchell-Blake ran his 200 heat in 20.51, beating David Winters's 20.61.
The Men's 800 was a great race, with Donavan Brazier's 1:46.08 prevailing over Andres Arroyo's 1:46.20 and Hector Hernandez's 1:46.32.
For Brazier, he gets the SEC Meet Record!
For Arroyo, it makes him 13th A-T Collegiate.
(Arroyo is listed as Puerto Rican, but I'll have to check to see if that's a National Record!)
Hernandez moves from 18th to 15th on the A-T Collegiate list, and becomes 13th A-T US!
Keturah Orji got an INdoor PR in the TJ, her 46-2.50 also nabbing the SEC Meet Record.
She moves from 10th A-T Collegiate to 6th, tied with 1 other.
On the A-T US list, she moves from 6th to 4th!
She's just 1.50 inches from tying the Collegiate Soph Class record!
Lexi Weeks took the 3-way battle in the SEC Pole Vault, making 14-8.25.
She missed 3 tries at the PR height of 15-1.50.
Second was Jessie Johnson's PR of 14-5.25.
She's now 23rd A-T Collegiate, tied with 5 others!
One of those Johnson's tied with is Tori Weeks, who jumped 14-2.
Mikiah Brisco beat Shayla Sanders in the SEC 60, her 7.18 making her 22nd A-T Collegiate, tied with 6 others!
The Women's 4X400 Relay at the SEC saw 3 teams affect my DDD.
Tennessee's 3:30.56 moves them from 13th School to 10th.
Kentucky's 3:31.56 moves them from 16th School to 14th!
And Missouri's 3:34.42 makes them 24th best School!
The Men's DMR saw Mississippi's 9:37.14 set the SEC Meet Record!
Garrett Scantling's 6003 took the Heptathlon.
In the Women's Pentathlon, Kendell Williams's 4420 won over Taliyah Brooks's 4376, Annie Kunz's 4277, and 5 others, all scoring 4116 points or better!
Quenesha Burks took the SEC LJ, her 22-1.75 moving her from 10th A-T Collegiate, tied with 2 others, to 8th, tied with 1 other!
Chanice Porter's 21-9.50 makes her 19th A-T Collegiate, tied with 2 others!
Audie Wyatt took the SEC PV with 18-1, which I believe is his first 18 footer!
Michael Cherry ran 45.61 in his SEC heat, making him 22nd A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other.
Taken OFF my DDD was Michael Berry!
So yes, you can say we exchanged a BERRY for a CHERRY!!
Devon Allen sprinted 60H in 7.60, getting the Mountain Pacific Meet Record!
It makes him 20th A-T Collegiate, tied with 3 others!
Hannah Cunliffe topped Jasmin Todd (3rd) and Arianna Washington (5th) in the Mountain Pacific 60, running 7.21.
In the Big 10 meet, Devynne Charlton's 7.97 beat Cindy Ofili's 7.99 in the 60H.
Charlton is now 16th A-T Collegiate!
The Big 10 WT winners were Chuk Enekwechi's 77-11.50 and Kelsey Card's 72-7.75!
Going back to Millrose for a second, I should note that I forgot to mention that Ed Cheserek's 7:40.51 is the Collegiate Junior Class record!
In Glasgow's 3000, Ben Blankenship's 7:44.96 gives him 24th place on the A-T US list!
Also note that Vashti Cunningham's OUTdoor HJ was 6-4.25, NOT 6-4.50 as my earlier post said!
But it's still the Senior Class record for OUTdoors!
High Schoolers had some solid marks to offer.
Brendan McGorty's 1000 of 2:25.81 makes him 13th A-T HS.
Ariel Keklak ran 1000 meters in 2:46.98 for 7th A-T HS.
Behind her came Sarah Edwards and Clare Martin, both timed in 2:47.61.

OUTdoor PV marks in from Down Under included 15-3's from Alana Boyd and Eliza McCartney!
McCartney bettered that, jumping 15-5.50.
That's the new Age 19 record!
It also breaks her own National Record of New Zealand!
And it gets her 22nd A-T World, tied with 2 others!
Other good marks from New Zealand were Valerie Adams's 61-10.25 SP, Tom Walsh's 68-7.25, and Dani Samuels's Discus Throw of 217-10!
Also competing Down Under was England's Jade Lally.
Her 2 DT comps saw her get big PR's, first with 210-8, then with 213-7 two days later!
It's said to be the National Record of England!
However, I list only the NR for Great Britain, which INCLUDES England!!
She's 3rd or 4th on the GB A-T list!
Forgot to mention that, in Lavillenie's earlier 19-9 meet, Shawn Barber jumped 19-4.75, and Sam Kendricks got up to 19-2!!

For Nwaba, that improves her PR by 9 points, but she remains 13th A-T US!
No PR for Beach!
The Tokyo Marathon was won by Feyisa Lelisa in 2:06:56, and Helen Kiprop's 2:21:27.
Third Woman was Edna Kiplagat, in 2:22:36.
After my post beating up on OT's again (See Saturday's post!), I hesitate to waste time and space reporting OT marks, however great they might be!
In fact, it's BECAUSE they're so good that I resent having to report them!
They mean absolutely NOTHING of importance to this blog or to my (or ANYONE's!!) Record Book!
That said, here's the best of those TIME WASTERS!!
Izaic Yorks beat Sean McGorty in a Seattle Mile, 3:53.89 to 3:53.95.
Erin Clark won the 3000 in 9:08.29.
Aisling Cuffe and Elise Cranny finished in 6th and 8th, respectively!
The Big 10, held on the Spire's OT, saw Erin Finn win the 5000 in 15:37.31.
Nick Gray took the 200 in 20.71.
Isaiah Harris took the 800 in 1:46.24.
Fast (but useless!) 600's came from Jermaine Griffith (1:16.02), Mitch Hechsel (1:16.21), Nate Rocse (1:16.29), and Daniel Kuhn (1:16.42).
The Big 12, held in Ames, Iowa, saw Courtney Okolo waste 51.06 seconds of her life in a 400.
Zack Bilderback did the same, consuming 45.27 of HIS life!
He also wasted 20.79 seconds in a 200.
Sam Watts did the exact same in that 200, also running 20.79!
Some OT Pentathlons came from the Big 10 (Jess Lehman's 4393 beating Georgia Ellenwood's 4392!), and the Mountain Pacific meet, held in Seattle, saw Amalie Iuel win easily, scoring 4444 points!
Also on Seattle's 307 meter OT, Oregon's Men ran their DMR in 9:29.89!
That Q'ed them for the NCAA's!
And THAT is NOT fair!!!
Last but not least, two interesting announcements!
Kerri Gallagher left Oiselle, and is now a Nike athlete!
And Alexi Pappas has stated she will be running for Greece, as she has dual citizenship!
Pappas will continue to live and train in Eugene, however!
And that--FINALLY!!--is a WRAP!!
See you all soon!
