Big East: http://www.bigeast.org/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=19400&KEY=&SPID=11219&SPSID=92512 and http://www.msnsportsnet.com/page.cfm?sport=wtrack&show=14200

800- Karly Hamric
1000- Kaylyn Christopher
Mile- Keri Bland
3000- Marie-Louise Asselin
5000- Clara Grandt

Follow the links on bigeast.org and you can watch it Sat/Sun for $9.95. Besides championships, keep a watch on these girls' times as they are shooting for some autos in this meet. Watch this list http://web1.ncaa.org/track/eventFiles/d1wind.txt to see how the DMR is holding up. Hard to believe that they may need to run it again to improve on 11:11 (!) in order to qualify for nats.

Akron: Saturday meet http://finishtiming.com/2009/02-21AK/index.htm

3200- Zach Tennant, David Ciarolla and Jordan McDonald.

Assuming that the other seed times aren't little white lies, these should be some pretty quick races. They should go off on Saturday at around 1:30. I think these three are shooting for http://www.nsictf.org/ and have to hit 9:40/11:30.

Kent State: http://www.kentstatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=11400&KEY=&ATCLID=669413&SPID=4436&SPSID=65843
Some of the WVIAC and a few WVU girls.

Some people to watch:
M800- Hamrick and Bowman
W1000- O'Connell, Moskal
WMile- Campanelli, Lewis, Caruso, Hamric
W3000- Campanelli
M3000- Hall, Jones
W5000- Hagerty

Kentucky:

Some people to watch:
W800- Crouch (should be a very fast race)
W1600- Dent
M3200- Caldwell, Hampshire
W4x800- Hurricane

It looks like all four will be in their fast heats, but Hampshire may be in the second heat, I don't know about the field sizes. Meet is on Saturday and Crouch's race should be first at 2:55.

Marietta:
http://www.marietta.edu/athletics/track/archive/2008-09/hsmeets/20090221performancelist.htm

Lots of high schoolers here. Rees, Callaway, Truelove, Beckett, Williams, Winningham and on and on. Seed times at Marietta are much slower than the UK, Kent St. and Akron meets, but it will still produce some great times.

VT Challenge:

Concord and Marshall are in the heat sheets, should be some good races. Clark in the 800m and Mullen in the mile should be the highlights.

A-10s:

I can't find any sort of start list, ect., but it's to be streamed live if anyone would like to watch.

Overall, this is going to be the most busy weekend of the indoor season. Should be exciting...
