Aside from a few excellent individual performances, it appears most are waiting to run fast. Which makes sense, at Mt. SAC starts what are the two best weekends in American track (with Drake and Penn relays to follow).
In my estimation, last weekend's best male performance was Amos Sang's 29:15. The Abilene Christian junior got a small altitude adjustment for running his time in (always?) breezy Lubbock. He and the winner, Wayland Baptist's Kennedy Kithuka, beat the field by two minutes. That's a mental test. Sang is entered at Mt. SAC in the 5,000 and 10,000.
Best women's performance to Queens' Tanya Zeferjahn's second-best-in-D2 1,500, where she ran completely by herself to win by 14 seconds in 4:28.
Other performances of note:
- Anthony Luna (Metro State), who won last year's outdoor 800m in San Angelo but sat out this indoors in Albuquerque, enters the list at No. 8. He's set to run the 800 at Mt. SAC.
- Adams State now owns four of the top nine spots in the 1,500, thanks to some decent marks at the Sun Angel Classic in Tempe, Ariz.
- Alexis Skarda (Mesa State) also recorded a quick 4:28 at Sun Angel. Mesa State is definitely an overshadowed program in Colorado. She'll run the same event at Mt. SAC.
- Dani Dell'Orco (Truman State) won the 10,000 at the Jim Duncan Invite, which happens to be at Drake. Dell'Orco is now No. 5 (and an auto qualifier) in that event.
