The first so many runners (depends on the scoring company, but usually top 100 M, top 100 F) are supposed to use gun time. This prevents a runner from starting a few seconds or minutes behind a competitior & key off of them. If the woman lost out based on chip time, then she has a reason to prote

Michigan isn't an AAU or a USATF state. Both meets are well attended. But many of the coaches do list location as a reason for choosing which to continue on with after the Association Meet, as well as the location of the Association Meet. The most highly attended meet was one in between the 2.
