Great Competitions Last Weekend Have a Big Impact on the Rankings

By Adam Schneider, DyeStat Editor

The loaded fields at the Texas Relays and Florida Relays had a big effect on this week's rankings. As usual, the short sprints had some great results in Texas but the collegiate record for the decathlon by Texas A&M’s Lindon Victor was the biggest among collegians (8,472). There was a long list of collegiate leaders this past weekend, too.

The next most significant collegiate mark in Texas was Texas A&M’s Ioannis Kyriazis’ first attempt 288-9 (88.01m) throw in the javelin, moving him to second all-time among collegians. He didn't take any remaining throws. Kyriazis can now threaten the collegiate record of 292-4 (89.10m), by Patrick Boden of Texas from 1990.

The pole vault was a dual among the collegiate pole vaulters as Virginia Tech’s Torben Laidig cleared 18-8.25 (5.70m), to take the win. Kendal Williams ran a barely wind-aided (+2.1 m/s) personal record of 9.99 over 100 meters. Texas Tech sophomore Charles Brown won the long jump with a jump of 26-8.50 (8.14m). Texas A&M won the 4x400 meter relay by running 3:01.74, with Trey Culver of Texas Tech (7-4.25, 2.24m) and Randall Cunningham of USC (7-3, 2.21m) moved to 1-2 on the collegiate high jump list.

Chad Zallow of Youngstown State won the Florida Relays 110-meter hurdles in 13.37 (+3.7w) against a very good field. Defending NCAA 400-meter hurdle champion Eric Futch of Florida opened his season in the event with a win in 49.57. Isaiah Harris of Penn State beat an All-American field over 800 meters by running a collegiate-leading 1:45.64. Florida took the 4x100-meter relay in a collegiate-leading time by running 38.73, with Alabama’s Steven Gayle grabbing the collegiate 400-meter lead by running 45.40.

Southern Utah sophomore Kasey Knevelbaard won the 1,500 meters over a terrific field at the Stanford Invitational, winning in 3:41.76. Senior Jefferson Abbey of Colorado State took second in the 5,000 meters in a collegiate lead by running 13:37.23. Alabama senior Alfred Chelanga was the fastest collegian and took the collegiate lead over 10,000 meters by running 28:04.95 with his second-place finish.
