Exactly! The indoor sucks and outdoor 400 sucks! Exactly why the outdoor 200 should
NOT follow suit.
<<Also look at the NCAA results form the past few years, the first round of the 200
usually only gets rid of 2 or 3 guys and then there are several guys who end up
running overt 21 seconds in the semi. There are a lot worse thing that they could do,
