[Tango Two]

Looking at the entrees, Rutgers scoring will be meagre. The men have entrees in only 3 of the 9 individual running races with 5 individuals. The only one expected to make the finals is Brown in the 400 meters One has already been eliminated in the heats and Griffith could qualify if he is in top form in the 400. The men are entered in only 1 of the 2 relays. Rutgers has the 5th best time going in with a school record 3:08.42
There are only 6 entrees in the field events and only 1 likely scorer- Freshmen Tobi Tella in the Triple jump. Unless there is significant improvement from personal bests no one else in project the make the finals. As an example, the Rutgers entree in the Pole vault has a best this season lower than the initial height for this competition.
Rutgers women have fewer athletes entered and could finish the competition with out scoring unless there is significant improvement against season bests.

Brown and Griffith qualify for the 400 meter final with the first and third best qualifying times.

Any idea why RU didn't participate in the men's 4x400? Too much this weekend for Brown and Griffith with the NCAAs coming up?

Think they were seeded 5th ... They needed to place 3rd or higher to move into 11th ... Think they did not want to risk anyone getting hurt.
