I admittedly have not paid as much attention to the T&F team as I have in previous years but have had this circled on the calendar for a while now. I did a very shallow dive into the expected outcomes of this weekend's meet and this is what I've come away with.
Based on performances thus far in the season, the meet outcome would look like the following:
Men's
1) TTU- 135 pts
2) ISU - 118 pts
3) OSU - 92 pts
4) BYU - 75 pts
Women's
1) BYU - 133 pts
2) TTU - 116 pts
3) TCU - 59 pts
3) OSU - 59 pts
A couple of things to keep in mind. 1) A lot of names I saw outside of the top 8 will not finish that way in the conference meet on both the men's and women's side. This goes for a lot of teams. For example, Trey Wilson has the 10th best throw in the conference. I would bet any amount of money that he medals. 2) Women's results look like this because of BYU's strangle hold on distance runners. TTU has a better chance at winning nationals than BYU but in conference, where BYU can dominate those runs, they have an advantage over Tech. I would bet good money that the Women's race looks much different and that it will be extremely close.
