This is already a memorable season, that it can truly become special if SC wins a national championship. With luck, we have the performers to do it, but does the staff risk running Michael Norman, Rai Benjamin, and others in multiple events and relays and thus possibly incurring injuries, etc. They'll have two weeks until the Conference Championship to recover, so we'll see!

The strategies in T&F competition have changed a lot since the 'old' days. MSAC doesn't get the big guns like they used to because it's too early in the season now. Crazy, huh? As for the Times, they can go suck it. My prediction is the women should win easily and the men can win, but some guys will need to triple-up. Meet day info CrownoftheValley and dbw021 like this.

dbw021 Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 981 Likes Received: 1,136 Apr 28, 2018 #8 So the meet is not being televised?
trackdude Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 1,082 Likes Received: 657 Apr 28, 2018 #9 As far as I know, that's correct. Pretty bogus on the part of the PAC-1.

Kudos to the men’s 4x100 shows great sprint depth. Side note, not shedding any tears, my have the Bruins fallen on hard times. No PVs or 110 hurdlers. Tsk!

trackdude Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 1,082 Likes Received: 657 Apr 30, 2018 #16 That's a good question. I would think that USC has enough media know-how to at least film the meet and show it later. What I don't know is what USC may have signed away when joining the P12. Does SC even have rights to televise their own sporting events??? To dbw, Morris broke his collar bone in the Mar.14 meet, is redshirting. (He's the hurdler)
