Below is what it says in the bulletin for the MOC. Are there 8 in the finals or 12? The two paragraphs give conflicting information.<br /><br />LANE ASSIGNMENT IN TRIALS AND FINALS:<br />There will be three preliminary heats in the 800‐meters, with runners starting in alleys for the first turn. The first, second and third placers in each<br />heat, plus the next three fastest times will qualify for the final. The final field will be comprised of 12 total athletes.<br />There will be two heats in the 1600‐meter run, with runners starting in alleys for the first turn. The first 4 placers in each heat, plus the next fastest<br />four (4) times will qualify for the final. The final field will be comprised of 12 total athletes.<br />The 3200‐meter run will be conducted as a final only for all entrants on Saturday. Runners will use alleys for the first turn.<br />In the 800m, the 1600m and the 3200m preliminaries and finals, the races will be seeded with the fastest qualifier placed on the outside of alley 2,<br />and the other competitors in ascending order toward the curb. The slowest qualifier will be in lane one. One third of the runners will start in alley<br />2, and the remaining two‐thirds of the field will start in alley 1.<br />QUALIFYING FOR RUNNING FINALS:<br />In all races except the 1600m run the first place finishers in each trial heat will qualify for the finals. The remaining qualifiers will be<br />determined by the times they run in those trial heats. In the case of a tie(s) for first in the trials, all runners involved in the first place<br />tie will qualify for the finals and the number of non‐first place finishers will be reduced to ensure there are not more than eight<br />runners in the finals of all races.<br />In the 1600m run there will be two (2)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-48223643980103970912013-05-23T18:40:26.357-07:002013-05-23T18:40:26.357-07:00are you kidding me?

I think that right there shows that he could've gone way faster at Stanford. He is clearly still a rookie at the Mile and needs more experience to really run it well. I think 4:03 is a good estimate for what he runs this season if he does it at State and after State as well. <br /><br />I think his freshman year of college he will run a 1500 equivalent of 3:56.

1. 12...the 1600 is also just easier than the 800. <br /><br />1. 12 qualifiers for the finals at both NCS and state. <br /><br />2. Hamilton clearly has the best kick in the 1600 field, certainly at NCS and I feel at state as well. In the trials, if he feels he needs, he can just kick at the very end and save his energy for finals while guaranteeing he still makes finals. <br /><br />3. The 1600 is a less intense race. There is more room for error. The slowest finals qualifier at state in the 800 may run a 1:53. That's still a dang fast time and just a simple mistake from not even making finals. In order to win the heat, it may take a 1:51. That's pretty close to all out for anyone. <br /><br />In the 1600, the slowest qualifier could be anywhere from 4:10-4:20. That's a lot of time to squeeze into to qualify for finals.
