Men's Mile Final - 2024 NCAA indoor track and field championships

[@kevinkasp]

That race was full-on violent. I’m shocked no one was knocked flat onto the track until the last turn of the race.

[@johnnicholson3314]

You have to try running indoors. It’s not the same as outdoors when they pack a field up.

[@michaelmcdow2506]

Appreciate that the thumbnail and title doesn’t spoil the winner. Thank you NCAA!

[@paddywiggle]

It does :/

[@johnnicholson3314]

That’s how you save energy and run a perfect race. Inside track events are much harder due to positioning and having to run outside lanes.

[@cld4393]

You don't know chit about running.

[@johnnicholson3314]

What do know! That was a perfect race strategy for an inside track. If you think you know better than call the kid that took 2nd and explain to him why he didn’t win! is it because YOU DON’T CHIT ANOUT TRACK AND FILED? Or have you been a sore loser in the past as depicted by your comment.

[@3John-Bishop]

Too many people in this race. Bad idea

[@cld4393]

[@johnnicholson3314]

@@3John-Bishop It’s been like this for over 50 years. Even in the Olympics many falls and pushing shoving happens. It’s all about strategy as well as ability. Jim Ryan the first junior to break the 4 minute mile got entangled in the Olympics causing him to lose as well as indoor track where I personally saw him compete. You’re a Johnny come lately and most likely never ran track or accomplished anything so don’t be rude in your ridiculous four word comments unless you have intelligence or backup to prove your comment don’t comment.

I'm not sure I like how tactical the mile has gotten - basically a 400 with an extended warmup.

[@FrickyouHeadBangerzzTillzIDie]

you say that like they didnt finish at almost 4 flat lol

[@seanwool]

@@FrickyouHeadBangerzzTillzIDie That's not very fast for a D1 national championship and it would have been pushing into high school territory if it wasn't for the last 400. This isn't a very extreme example, but the stick and kick threat has done some very weird things to mid distance strategy to the point where we are seeing painfully slow starts.

[@J.e.f.f.r.e.y]

Sahlman wasted too much energy running in lane three, surging and elbowing to hold position and was then gassed in the last 100m. I had him as a favourite and given he ran 1700m today I think he still is a favourite. Hope he can learn how important positioning is on short track. He will be fine in outdoors though and that’s what counts more.

[@unfliteredandunapologetic3004]

He needs to learn how to commit once making a move.

The stagger markers remained on the track after breaking. No one wanted to go wider than them, making it a very tight race. Salman, who was 6th finished within 1 second of the winner, Houser. That's how tight this field was.

[@Alyosha778]

That was ugly. The kid from Georgetown deliberately shoved 3 other runners in the last 100m, causing 2 of them to fall. One of them was after they crossed the finish line and was completely malicious. He should be disqualified.

[@abesolomteffra]

You clearly didn’t pay attention to the race: Gary Martin clearly got tripped and not pushed. Regarding the finish line, yea, you try closing the last 400 of an NCAA final in 54 seconds and also navigating your space on a 200m banked track being sandwiched between two runners. Not like it would have changed either of their finishing places. Get your emotions out of track and field. Racing is racing.

So many runners ran an extra 50 meters for no reason. Chill out about your position until it actually matters, good grief!

[@jupeter24]

I know, but they don't want to get boxed in, in case someone makes a move and they only have a split second to respond. The race was strategic, so everyone was bunched up, unfortunately. That's the way the mile is, the fastest one doesn't always win (not saying Luke Houser didn't deserve to win today, he did!)

[@andrewpulsipher2062]

If someone makes a move with more than 400 to go then you'll have plenty of time to cover it. You won't have anything left by the end if your opponent only ran a mile and you chose to run an extra 50 throughout the race

[@jupeter24]

@@andrewpulsipher2062 that's a good point, I think some of it is nerves though. Also, I don't know if some of these guys are running with other people like this, like they are usually in races without the top talent. The NCAA championship (this race) will be their most competitive all year, most likely. They probs don't know what to do in this type of situation, they don't run with uber competition like this every race.

Where's all the t ra ns women at in this race? Isn't it strange that it's one sided (men in women's events, not the other way) if everyone really is equal as we keep being told? 😮

[@johnwilson5743]

Qu: Does this NCAA Championship also have 1500m Championship race? If so, then why do they have a Mile race? The Mile is an obsolete race run just as a novelty event, harking back to the old British events of pre-1965. No other Countries have Championship Mile races. Yes, I know this is just a College/University meeting but why retain obsolete races. Perhaps they don't have 1500m Championship INDOOR races because it would be stupid to race both 1500 and mile races. I mean, would they also have 880 yard plus 800 meter races? I wouldn't think so. I noticed this in the USA High School system where they race 1600m and 3200m races. Totally meaningless races as they do not relate to any other distances and not one other Country in the World races these distances. (Reason: They are not one mile races, nor two two mile races nor match any other recognised metric distances. I assume that American High Schools can then claim World Records for those distances, since no one else runs them!)

[@AdaptiveCapitalResearch]

Mile is common in the US, glad they keep it indoors.

[@seatownfan]

Your comment is obsolete 😅

[@tonycrabtree3416]

It’s just easier for volunteers that work races and has zero to do with world records. 1 lap, 2 laps, 4 laps, 8 laps on existing infrastructure. Many, many high schools have tracks still from the 30s, 40s, and 50s with just updated surfaces.
