Preliminary surprise: Adams duo misses out on 1,500 finale

Adams States' Scott Kimball and Adam Graham didn't make the final of the metric mile. Although I'm not in San Angelo, Tex., it appears they must've fallen.

Not surprising: Micheal Wickman (Chico State) blasts a sub-57 second final lap to take the first heat. Notice has been served.

Update: All the favorites in the steeplechase cruised, although I was bummed to see the Wayne State (Neb.) duo trimmed to one.

And is it just me, or does it seem a little futile to eliminate only 9 out of 33 (in the 1,500 and steeple)? Why not let more in to start with?
