Will Sumner looks like he should go under 1:45 in the final especially with competition. That looked so easy for him. And he's a freshman!! Amazing!
I agree, but from an energy perspective he did not need to win by so much. Could have done 1:47 and still had a nice lead. May cost him .5-1 second on friday due to lactic buildup
@@HunterReport For a Freshman the confidence you gain from a big win that still looked somewhat easy might be more important. Also a full second is a lot of time I doubt pushing a little harder near the end effects you that much several days later
@@HunterReport We'll see. Personally Will Sumner looks like one the best middle distance prospects to come along in a while and he is only a freshman at Georgia.
I hope he runs in the UGA 4 x 400
He is super nice kid, won an English writing award this year, he was announced as winner at English department graduation ceremony, his name was announced and the speaker said Freshmen are often already home by the time the award in announced, my son and I said no he is down the street at the track getting ready to dominate.
unreal . Freshman running 52.5 and then coming back with a 53.5 and just strolling the last 75 meters in a prelim.
You realy just posted a single heat?
that’s all we needed
@@dawsnoshift Because it’s looking like it’s Sumner’s year sheesh
Navaski is better
1:46 by a freshman so yeah one heat
They could have posted steeplechase and 1500 prelims too :/
World team for Sumner coming up book it. I have him 5th place at USA’s at worst
can we please get the other heats or semi’s
What happened to Rhoden??
Sam needs to be reinstated
Upvote
1080p pls???
Sam Ellis DQd...how?!
Apparently stepped in another lane before cutting in.
He was riding the line on the start and the Long Beach coach paid $100 to get the challenge.
Wasn’t Sam in Princeton last year?
Yes, he was a graduate school transfer.
@@matthewcarlton5693 Yes, Ivy league schools do not allow grad student athletes, so he had to leave.
@@dre3951Emotional Damage
Why don't they allow it
Why was Sam Ellis DQd?
Running on the line in the first turn.
@@matthewcarlton5693 Im not seeing it. Bad DQ.
@@HowlingFantods I agree, however I am biased as I have been watching Sam run since he was in high school.
Apparently the Cal Poly coach put in the complaint against him for cutting someone off despite them not even having someone in that heat. Andy Powell went to fight it and when they rewatched the tape to prove he didn't cut anyone off they then saw he stepped on the line and I guess then made that the DQ reasoning despite it never being brought up to begin with. Andy Powell made it seem like anyone with 100 dollars and nothing else to do can file a complaint to get runners DQed, i think they interviewed him about it on Let's Run and it just all seems like a load of nonsense to DQ the guy
Track times keep getting faster except for this event
True but also it’s a heat
Sam Ellis DQ is bullshit. Not because he didn’t step on the line..because he did so on the initial turn at the start of the race. The DQ is bullshit because they came about the evidence of him doing so in a crooked way. The Long Beach coach, who didn’t even have an athlete in this heat (and the one he did have in another heat wasn’t effected at all on whether Ellis got DQ’d or not) protested saying Ellis had cut someone off. The officials reviewed it and came to the conclusion that he did not cut someone off. However, they saw that he stepped on the line twice, so they DQ’d him for that. Why were they even looking at ths part of the race for cutting someone off? The runners are in their lanes for this part of the race and quite sometime after. So clearly this would not be where he was said to cut someone off. Did they check all the other runners positioning while they were at it in this heat and the other ones? Million dollar question is why did the Long Beach coach put the protest in the first place? I can promise you and watching the race. There’s no point whatsoever doesn’t even look like he remotely cut someone off.
Actually, Sam getting DQ'd could theoretically have an effect on the outcome of that coach's athlete in this semi-final. For Sam to be DQ'd, which he was, and which he "deserved", the first 3 non-auto qualifying finishers who had a chance at being time qualifiers would be necessarily slower. Which they were. Not likely to have a huge impact on his athlete, but very well could have under the appropriate set of circumstances.
Whether he filed this protest before or after the completion of all three heats, or even just after the completion of the second one is another question. In either case the coach would have realized that, given his protest was the only thing that resulted in any subsequent alteration of the results in those prior 2 or 3 heats, the outcome for his athlete would not have changed. Still, if he was within his rights to call the protest, which he apparently was, I see nothing wrong with it.
I watched the race myself and it seemed pretty clear to me that Sam stepped onto/over the line several times. If the "stay in your lane for first 100m" rule is not properly enforced, (which it wasn't, initially), then Sam or others could have theoretically cut off other athletes within the first 100m section of the race. I'm not familiar with the standard review process, but don't feel that I have to be. Perhaps they always watch the full replay during these relatively shorter races no matter the nature of the protest. In which case the first thing they could have noticed was that Sam stepped on/over the line 2+ times during the first 100m which are "lane restricted".
I can't say that I know anything about the conversation the LBS coach had with officials when filing his protest. Maybe he didn't file the protest because he believed Sam cut someone off after all. To an extent, the reason the coach filed the protest is a semantic argument. If the officials noticed an infraction that was different to the one which the filing coach supposedly noticed, I don't see why anyone would have an expectation for them to ignore it.
Although Sam's race result was invalidated, he looked to be a convincing qualifier whether or not he had stepped on/over the line at the beginning of the race. He's clearly a great runner. However, this is not an arbitrarily contrived rule in the sport of track and field. It seems like a rather important one to me. Yes, you gain an advantage when you exit the confines of your lane in a race where either some of the distance is restricted to lanes and also in a race where the entire distance is restricted to lanes. Whether the infraction or the the respective advantage gained are minute is another question. And, regardless of severity, the rules should be upheld.
Nice run by Sumner, but the goal here is not to run a PB but simply to move to the next round while conserving as much energy as possible. In my opinion, he put too much effort into that race. Hopefully, it won't come back to bite him.
What a BS DQ in heat 1...... rules committee should be ashamed
why was he DQ’ed
@@jfrogfoot some coach with no athlete in the race protested for some reason and they looked at the footage and randomly DQ the Washington guy for taking a step out of lane. So dumb
@@thomasrice6397 the protest was not about a line violation either...
@Thomas Rice he was able to move his runner up from 17th to 16th, thus making second team All-American. Congrats
You guys gonna show just one heat of the event really? Might as well not show the meet at all if we’re getting teases here and there.
