Posted March 10, 20241 yr The Duck women caught a ton of bad breaks, but still over performed by 3 points to finish 4th, a mere two points out of a podium position. The bad breaks included a crash in the WDMR, that surely cost the Ducks 2-4 points, Ross in the SP completely out throwing the winner, but the Colorado State winner managed 1 throw that made her the winner by 2.5", thus costing the Ducks 2 more points. Finally, Aliyah McCormick tipped the final W60 hurdle and while she fell across the line in 7th, she probably would have scored a couple of points more. Any 3 of those 7 or 8 points would have put the Ducks in 3rd. On a brighter note, no one underperformed more than UW, who went -18 to win the women's Tank trophy, then doubled back on the men's side with a scintillating -19, to clinch both crowns. We sat with Jerry Schumacher during the WSP and he seemed to have good rapport with his team and we few who journeyed to Boston. A lot of good athletes coming in on both sides and patience seems the name of the game for track fans Edited March 10, 20241 yr by Bruce3404
