PTFCA State Championship Standards (Mile)

Hey all! Here is the next event cutoffs for our state meet in just a few short weeks! Having just finished this list, I did go in and adjust for Chayce Macknair's really solid 4:23 last night at State College. With a pretty empty day tomorrow, my hope is to have the 3k, 4x8, and DMR out tomorrow as well. If you get a chance to read them, understand that they're likely changing very quickly with the Carnival and other meets going down tomorrow. Best of luck to everybody who is fighting for one of these last spots as we enter the postseason!

Mile (SQS: 4:32.43/4:31.73) Number of acceptances: 20

Quick takeaways:
-Over the past few years, we've seen a ridiculous amount of scratches in the mile, because people can get pulled away from really any of the other four distance events. Now that I'm the one making the lists, I realized how hard it was to call out who is scratching and who is running.
-I see Zeh opting for a relay/800 double, while I think Miller takes his talents to the 3000
-Lewin and Tomov are guys who could very well double, but are both on relays with potential to win gold, so my guess is both opt out
-Pretty much the same thought process for Chamoun and Sieberlich
-Kuhn is a toughie. I think he has the potential to be a major darkhorse, but with a sub 9 3000 and a sub 8:10 4x8, my guess is he scratches
-Truthfully, there's actually a slight chance that this list falls back a couple spots. My guess is because we haven't seen a massive DMR yet out west, a lot of those teams are going to absolutely load up this weekend. I didn't scratch a single Seneca Valley (Ketler was, but he could go either way if they do go open events), Greensburg Salem, Mount Lebanon, or North Allegheny guy, which makes up 8 names on the list. One quick race this weekend could end up scratching 5 or so more guys off this list.
