College track season is nearly over, sadly enough. Just two events remain for the Hawkeyes: this weekend’s NCAA West Regional in Austin, Texas and the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
There are, however, a few stipulations in order to visit the Ducks in their home pond. That’s where the West Regional comes in. In individual running events such as the 100m or the 200m dash, there are six heats. The top three from each of those heats is put in another set of races, where the top three of those plus the next three best times head to Eugene.
