2018 NCAA Men’s Formchart No. 3:
Florida Continues To Look Dominant

The third weekend of April was chock-full of exciting performances, but interestingly enough, it had almost zero effect on the NCAA Men’s Championships projections.

Only 2 predicted individual champions were deposed, as Devin King (Southeastern Louisana) replaced Chris Nilsen (South Dakota) in the vault and Gleb Dudarev (Kansas) took over from Denzel Comenentia (Georgia) in the hammer.

Overall, the same 9 schools populate the top 9, with no really significant changes in the ordering of team faves, as Florida and Houston are still 1–2.

Mike Holloway’s Gators had a 16-point lead over Leroy Burrell’s Cougars in chart #2, now the margin has slipped by a single point to 15.

For favored Florida, much continues to rest on the feet of super-soph Grant Holloway. He’ll be one busy performer en route to a predicted double-win performance in the 110H (where he’s the defending national champ) and long jump, with probable duty on both relays as well.

Florida is deep enough that Holloway can likely be excused from baton duty in the Wednesday prelims and will only have to run a flight of hurdles and tackle the LJ.

As noted in the previous charting, things will get dicier for the 20-year-old Virginia native on Friday where his potential 3-event schedule could follow this timetable: 5:32—4×1 final; 6:12—110H final; 7:51—4×4 final.

Make no mistake, the Gators are deep, being tabbed to score 10 times in 8 events: 110H, 400H, 4×1, 4×4, HJ, LJ–2, TJ–2, HT–2. If things go according to form, they’ll have the meet clinched before the 4×4 rolls around as the climax.

The 10-deep predictions for each event:
