College Athletes Are Dominating The Pros... And It's Not Even Close

[@supernoodles908]

Sorry but it's almost like the pros are trying to peak for the Olympics rather than mid may. These athletes peaked for the NCAA and the pros for paris 2024. That's just how it goes

[@dcole4741]

NCAA athletes make Olympic teams so that excuse is not that valid

[@sev9258]

Yeah but these college athletes have pretty much burnt themselves out by the conference championships and are still running qualifying times.

[@Elliottklassen]

This isn’t anything new at all, and it definitely isn’t a problem. Of all world class 100m performances (sub 10.1 for men and 11.1 for women), less than 13% have occurred prior to May 14th, and only 13 have been sub 9.90 for the men. Compare that to June, July, and August, which make up 23%, 24%, and 26% of sub 10.10, and have 69, 52, and 76 sub 9.90 performances, respectively. We’re not even close to being in the “middle of the season” like you said. Heck, there was even snow on the ground outside my house two weeks ago.

[@Elliottklassen]

An interesting fact: the true “middle” of the season for the men’s 100m - with 49.94% of sub 10.10 performances occurring before it - is July 5th. Though, even then, less than 40% of sub 9.90s have occurred by that point, so it could still be argued that the true middle of the season is even later, depending on the quality of performance being used as a benchmark. July 22 is the middle of season for sub 9.90 performances. It gets pushed back even further as the threshold gets raised. August 6-12 is the middle for 9.80, for example.

Congrats to SR Mckenzie Long for defending her SEC Title, has developed a good rivalry with FR JaMeesia Ford who equalled Allyson Felix's US U20 Record which was done at altitude in Mexico City, so that's really impressive as she goes #2 all-time on the WU20 200m list! Given her 11.13/22.21/50.81 PBs, crazy to think that next yr as a 20yr old Sophomore, could be looking at a sub 11/22/50s combo sprinter! Even if JaMeesia doesn't make the individual 200m Team @Olympic Trials, hope USATF is brave enough to select her for at least the Mixed 4x4 Pool like they rightly did with Abby in the W4x4 Pool in '22 given the amount of impressive sub 50s splits she's run this year as a Freshman! Kaylyn Brown is another quarter-miler I hope gets selected for that pool as well! Congrats Tarsis Orogot - #3 all-time NCAA with his 19.75 win, M200m is shaping up to be one of the events of the year both in the NCAA & Pros! Well done to Wanya McCoy for good performances in both 100/200m. What a W400m race; Nickisha joint #2 JAM all-time, Kaylyn #8 US all-time, Amber #3 GBR all-time & Aaliyah #24 US all-time! Arkansas also had Rosey Effiong finish in 5th place, the way her left arm cuts across her body when she runs needs to be addressed. In the M400m, both CAN & NGR have got a couple of special talents on their hands in CMW & 17yr old Samuel Ogazi respectively! Was a shame re what happened to talented all-rounder Rachel Glenn in the W400mH, been worried about something like that happening with the way Arkansas tends to overwork their athletes esp Rachel Glenn & their quarter-milers like they did Britton Wilson last yr :(

[@Hensley_Jb]

I hope the pros will go fast in the summer so that every month there is another hype. The summer olympics will probably will be spectacular anyways. It is true that in may 2012, 6 performances below 9.9 but that was peak sprinting. I think especially the Paris 200m will be the most historic 200m race ever. They hopefully peak at the right time

[@persistentconsistency]

Yeah, I get the feeling we might be looking at our best chance of seeing anyone come close to Bolt's 19.19 200m time. Not saying it will happen, but many times someone like Lyles is very close, but only pushed by maybe one other sprinter. I'm hoping for a crowded final, in which multiple runners are on pace for 19.5 or better. A lot to ask for, but I'm a 200m fanatic and so, ask I will lol!

I'm starting to wonder if we aren't overly-obsessed with times, maybe due to the bonuses given at DL for breaking WR and the use of wavelights and pacers in everything now except the Olympics and world champs.

Its crazy to compare a diamond league race and college race.Diamond League races are all over the world so u have to factor in jet lag a long flight were u are seated very long not ur normal bed food and so and so these are all things that can change ur performance because ur not in ur normal habitat.For these college meets they have a max of 4 hours travel time are still in the same country and timezone huge factors that determine if u go as fast or faster as in training at ur hometrack or slower

[@nc_aravindan]

They are not racing vs the Pros. How can you say they are dominating ? By comparing times ran in different events over different surfaces across different countries, climates, wind etc ? If they do the same vs Pros in a race both run together, then they are "dominating". "College kids are just better" .. its like comparing a shark and monkey and saying the monkey is better at climbing trees. Both are not doing the same thing. Unsubscribed.

[@persistentconsistency]

Yep! Besides them being on different schedules, there is the element of true head-to-head competition, which tends to bring out the psychological factors. I remember destroying everyone in high school meets where I knew the next fastest person had a slower PR than me in an event. The confidence you gain from knowing you're supposed to win is wondrous. I'd set a PR in so many of these races. Whenever I went head-to-head with someone more my speed, it was a battle, and my times would sometimes be much slower than in less competitive races. Now, of course, not everyone is gonna perform the same in these sort of scenarios, but I am never surprised when a college athlete who, say, ran a 19.7 200m faces off against a pro who's only run 20.0 in the current season, and loses to this pro. The psychology of the sport is a really big deal.

[@JumpmanTF]

I respect it, more so leaderboards are being dominated rn. Ik what a lot of you are saying, but im going off my intuition, i think this year is going to suprise us. Especially the mens 100m.

[@gustaaf1892]

@@hovhyhov I've always been sceptical, but when during the late and post pandemic period athletes started to improve by huge margins and some in the mid 30s started to run PBs it was obvious that the virtually zero testing due to travel restrictions had given athletes licence to take PEDs at the levels that were standard in the 80s. The Tokyo men's 400mhurdles final was probably the most obvious piece of evidence of that.
