Re: DII Track & Field - LSC Dominates

Not that it will help our score (b/c we are not good at long distance running), but the low altitude could hinder the runners from high altitude locations (ie. RMAC schools).

And don't forget that good ol southeast wind that could really be blowing hard as April and May are the windy season down here. And full of humidity too which regardless of the wind, will be a factor because of the recent rainfall. Unless the wind direction comes directly from the west or southwest off the mountains in Mexico because that will pump dry and hot air into the region. If that occurs, usually this time of year it will put the temps way above 100.

I recall back in in the early 90's when we played Western Colorado in the playoffs down here and those poor guys were dropping like flies in the second half because we had one of those humid and windy November afternoons. But if you have ever spent time at 10,000 feet in Colorado ... they get to laugh at us sea level people too. Last summer we went to Breckenridge and made the mistake of not staying in Denver or a lower elevation for a day to get accumulated and went straight to the lodge for which our condo was up three flights of stairs with no elevator. Holy crud! Took me two days to get adjusted.

It will actually help them. They will have more energy in lower altitude....because of a higher oxygen %. Kingsville has a 29% O level. Compared to lets say Boulder who has a 17.3% O level.....or say Aspen who has a 15.4% O level. Of course the extreme would be a place like Everest with 6.9% O level.

The increase in O% could help athletes, especially distance runners.

Re: DII Track & Field - LSC Dominates

One thing for sure... It's going to be windy ( talking about sustained winds 20-30 mph) and very humid for the rest of the week with highs in the 90's which means the good ol' heat index will be somewhere in 100's. As long as the low pressure system that is causing all the bad weather in the Panhandle and Okie land stays put in the Four Corners region, we are stuck in this pattern.

Out of the 7 events that have completed, the Lone Star conference had an individual win 4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. Women's Hammer (a former walk on at TAMUK), Women's Long Jump (3rd in a row for her at WT), Men's Long Jump (WT), and Men's Hammer (ASU, who happens to be a freshman). Decathlon and Heptathlon are finishing up today. ASU has 3 in the top 6 on the men's side, and 2 in the top 8 on the women's
