Mike Holloway’s Gator team emerged from the East Regional with an imposing formchart margin. (FLORIDA SPORTS COMMUNICATIONS)A solid performance at the East Regional found Florida adding 5 points to its total. Meanwhile, in the West, Houston got hit with a 15-point demotion, largely because 200 favorite Elijah Hall didn’t make it to Nationals. So what was a perilous 2-point edge has suddenly bloated all the way to 22.
Florida is deep and long, but a key injury to either Grant Holloway (tabbed to win both the 110H & LJ as well as handle legs on the second-rated 4×1 and third-rated 4×4) or KeAndre Bates (the TJ fave and LJ No. 3) could change the picture mightily.
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 final. 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.
The biggest shuffling of order in this final pre-Nationals chart found Texas Tech jumping up from No. 7 to No. 3, with Texas A&M making the reverse move, from 3 to 7.
Only 2 events have new leaders since Chart #5: Divine Oduduru (Texas Tech) replaces Hall in the 200 and Denzel Comenentia (Georgia) takes over from Mostafa Hassan (Colorado State) in the shot.
