PTFCA State Championship Standards (3000)

Welcome back everybody! I was planning on publishing the rest of the state cutoffs this weekend, but with all the big meets going on, it just made sense to wait until after all those results were in and published. The 3000 picture is one that is coming down to just fractions of seconds right around the 9:00 barrier. Naturally, TSTCA and TFCAofGP championships this weekend will likely give these rankings one last shakeup, but here they are!

3000 (SQS: 8:59.23/8:58.43) Number of acceptances: 12

Takeaways:
-Obviously, Kinne asserted himself as the favorite this weekend. With the resume he has, it was really only a matter of time until he dropped a mark that put him far ahead of the rest of the field. Can't see him losing this race.
-The only scratch I project is Sewall, which would be for the DMR.
-With Kuhn scratching the mile in my projections, I'm predicting this 4x800/3000 double
-If anyone is going to challenge Kinne, look for Jack Miller.


The ** indicates times that were full two mile times, while * denotes 3200's. The 3200's get 35sec, while full two miles get 38sec.

This list was definitely more complicated, so if you see any mistakes please let me know!
