🚨Villanova's Dan Watcke just broke the program's indoor 1,000-meter record at the Quaker Invitational.
Watcke ran a 2:20.10 in the 1K race to break the 46-year indoor record set by Don Paige (2:20.3) on Jan. 20, 1979.
A coach has to fight for his athletes. Watch the blue runner and the red runner. No infraction called, despite egregious impediment. #letthemrun @MileSplitIL @ILXCTF @runHCXC
@JayhawkFocus@gwforde @DameFitness87 There is a reason 3 of these programs are 3rd or 4th in their own markets. Moving them to a conference without compelling matchups and historical rivals will not miraculously turn them into ATM machines. The legacy Big8/Big12 are taking a significant step backward.
We just saw
