Week 5 was filled with first career10's, 4 in one meet, Region 5 Alum with one of those and some instances where it's a mystery why it wasn't 10. Is their more subjectivity in college judging then we want to admit. The Alabama Tri meet became a salute to a MAC conference standout, how do Region 5 Alums rank in the national standings at the half way point, and we spotlight 3 Alums performances from D3 WhiteWater. That and who is Makarri  Doggette's biggest fans? No subjectivity there!
