Alcide clears 5-9, passes 5-10 and misses three at 5-11 1/4, well short of her pr at 6-2 that she used to set collegiate Pentathlon record.
Briscoe cleared 6-0 1/2, 1.84m to tie Theisen with NCAA meet record.
Keys clears 15-5 but misses at 15-, not at 16-8 with six vaulters alive. Winner of the vault will likely win Heptathlon due to 19 point lead for Lazas (one height in PV). Cato now in lead since Lazas passed.
Going into second day on the women's side LSU is the favorite but if Oregon can score 35 points in the 800, mile, 3k, 400 and 4x400 they will likely win the meet. Oregon could drop as low as fourth and any slip-ups will allow Kansas and Arkansas to win. Clemson is missing too many points to make the top four.
Big events today include the pr run of Kevin Lazas in the Heptathlon. He could move up the all-time collegiate list.
Collegiate Record Holder Makiba Alcide needs to score a valuable 10 points to give the women a good shot at a trophy.

Eddie Lovett ran close to the meet record (7.51 by Aries Merritt in 2006) in the heats by running 7.53

Deon Lendore of Texas A&M ran the men's 400m in 45.36 to beat Mike Berry in 45.64 and they had the fastest two times of the heats but they will run in different sections of the finals.
The women's 60 meters has big team implications but defending champion English Gardner of Oregon ran 7.15 in the heats even though she let up the last 20 meters. Only Muna Lee of LSU (2003 and 2004) has won the 60 meters two consecutive years. The collegiate record (7.09 by Lakya Brookins and Angela Williams) is under threat especially with top collegians Kimberlyn Duncan of LSU and Aurieyall Scott of Central Florida (collegiate leader 7.13) both battling the defending champion.

The men's 3k will also feature a competitor attempting the double Kennedy Kithuka of Texas Tech. The competitors that have accomplished that double is also short with David Kimani (2000 and 2001), Alistair Craig of Arkansas (2003 and 2004), Galen Rupp of Oregon (2009), and Lali Lalang of Arizona last year.
The women's triple jump will see Kansas' Andrea Geubelle attempt the horizontal jump double to join legends and fellow American Sheila Hudson of Cal ('90), Trecia Smith of Pitt ('98), and Elva Goulbourne of Auburn ('03).
Sophomore Marquis Dendy of Florida will also attempt to get the double and many have done that including Arkansas legends Mike Conley ('84 and '85), Eric Walder ('92-'94), and Mel Lister ('00).
The women's and men's 4x400 relays will conclude both competitions and will likely play a significant role in the final standings.

Sorry, not Antunovic, it is Weldon in second. Good last throw for Clarke 67-3 1/2. He has been practicing throwing off finger joints at 65' because his joints have inflamation and he can't throw off fingers now.
M Shot Clarke still in lead and Antunovic second at 65-8 going into final round.
Barrett only one over 6-2 3/4 on first attempt. Scheper over on second attempt., Third attempts and Schade out, Alcide clips it with her heals. She is in sixth currently.
