When it comes to championships, a top seed doesn’t guarantee a win. Any given athlete at the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship in Eugene, Ore., has the opportunity to win an event.
“The thing about going into the NCAA championship is that it could be anybody’s game, whoever has it on a given day,” University of Alabama head coach Dan Waters said. “We have people who might be ranked 17th or 18th in the nation go in there and win it. … It’s kind of who’s ready on the day, and I think we’ll be ready on the day.
