Bruce3404 No. 1 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Any slight hopes for a podium position disappeared with the first event. Projected for 6 points in the women's discus, our Pac12 champ got a goose egg. We needed above average performances by EVERYONE to even think about a top 3 or 4 position. Now we're just shooting for the top 10. Meanwhile, the person our DT beat for the Pac12 title finished 3rd. Just an ugly season after so many years of success. It happens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce3404 Author No. 2 Share Posted June 9, 2023 For some reason, wasn't able to edit my post, so I'll add to it here. Although podium is still out of the question, both relay teams stepped up and while neither was projected to score, both probably will. We're only talking about a few points, however. Alysah Hickey is the only OVER-performer thus far, finishing 4th in the Long Jump after being picked for 5th. While freshman Maddy Elmore barely made the trip to Austin, she surprised and managed to qualify for the final, though isn't expected to score. In fact, a bright spot is that the Ducks have 25% of the 1500 final athletes. Looking at the form charts, we project to score 13 points on the final day (Saturday) to add to the 13 we've already scored. Still, 26 points is well below original projections (35) and a few slips and we could drop out of the top 10 after being projected to finish 5th by a large (9 point) margin over the projected 6th place team.
