BIG Indoor Track and Field Championships

Much better effort by the men than previous years finishing 10th and just missing 9th by 3 points. Still a long way to go to be competitive with the big boys but at least its an improvement. Izaiah Brown won the mens 400 meters for his 4th title? Not sure what happened to freshman, Antonio Tarantino as he has posted some good times in the 200 this year, I don't see him in any results



The women on the other hand were basically non existent. Finishing last and only scoring 4 points

Lame job by BTN airing these championships. Last year they showed the whole meet. This year they had a one hour show with ~15 minutes of commercials to show the entire men’s and women’s combined. It’s not like they don’t need content. You air it on a Tuesday morning and can’t show the whole meet?

Tarantino finished second in his heat in the 200 but did not qualify for the finals. His time was 7.67 which was well off his season best of 21.09. Brown qualified for the finals of the 200 but was disqualifed in the finals- don't know what the issues was. The top 3 finishers were significantly faster than the Rutgers school record coheld by Brown at 20.95.

Surprised Brown got caught in the 4x400. If he had run like he did in the open 400 RU would have won
