Lol love that from Anderson and Sumner. It's just prelims so definitely good to see some chill attitudes.

Anderson could have potentially won the NCAA's indoors if he wasn't DQ'd. He's definitely also a name to look out for.

It’s amazing that Sumner had that much confidence that he could be that far back. But his confidence is well deserved.

Thank you for posting prelims this year

Sumner made that 2nd lap look way too easy

[jordanjordannis]

Not only is this commentator operating on another level of boring, he's also very tragically ill-advised thinking Will Sumner is the big name in a race with Navasky

All the top 800m guys in the Eastern Regionals were cruising in the quarterfinals. Those times are meaningless. In the West though with a lot more depth everyone had to have their foot on the gas to safely qualify.

Someone know why Anderson couldn't run at SECs? He also couldn't do indoor SECs as well.

Rynard Swanpool is so clear of these flops
