perhaps the main problem for the men is that the scoring opportunity for thompson (the 200) is the strength of Dix from FSU. so thompson may score but unlikely to beat Dix.

 

I've been watching on TV, they're showing the third replay from yesterday as I type this, and I have a question. There seems to be a lot of events that we are not competing in..how can that be? Are there some events we just don't worry about? FSU seems to have more people, in more events, which allows them to score more points.

 

FSU must have qualified more than we did.

 

4th in the 800 gets us to within 1 point of FSU

 

Thompson almost had it

 

The ladies are tied with ASU and should be able to win the title.
