On this week’s episode of the Blue Oval Podcast, heartbreak strikes as Parker Wolfe announces the end of his NCAA career due to injury. After that, Ben and Garrett dive into a chaotic East Regional Championship 10k race that somehow started well after midnight before exploring why there were so few upsets in the women’s East and West regional races. The guys then analyze the women’s 1500-meter qualifying rounds and national title picture, highlight Kirk Dawkins’ breakthrough 1:46.62 (800) mark to qualify for the national meet and discuss the surprising fall of several top men’s 800-meter runners. Ben and Garrett also offer a breakdown of the two disqualifications (and one reinstatement) along with the celebration of Wake Forest’s domination in the 5k. Be sure to listen, subscribe and review!
