3rd & 7 37yd

Kate Payton ran a 12.67....Her time doesn't indicate a decent heawind.

That combined with the FAT Timing System that is not used very often throughout the year leads to slower times on the blue oval, especially for sprinters.

Indeed, might be a factor on finals day as well, the wind that is.

by Blake Schultz 5/16/2013 4:21:57 PM
It's not a very strong wind, some of the top runners have shut it down a bit early if they are sure to be in.

Lake Mills 4x800 team currently second in its heat.

by Jeremy Koenigs 5/16/2013 4:23:09 PM
Nerves could also play a factor, rnav. Starts are crucial in the 100, and hesitating a bit just to avoid a false start could be the difference between running 13+ or not
