Wild cards

[jersey_guy]

Remember, top 6 non-medalists go to MOC, except for PV where they take top 18 marks total.

The only fully completed event is the 400m hurdles (100m is also done, but no all South Plainfield results are available).

Here are the unofficial wild cards in the hurdles:

Boys:
Timmian Banton NEW BRUNSWICK 55.41 Gr. 3
Aaron Younger DELSEA 55.81 Gr. 3
Schardrac Joseph HAMILTON WEST 55.88 Gr. 3
Jeremy Simkins SCHALICK,A.P 56.17 Gr. 2
Sifiso Takirambudde WWIND-PL SOUTH 56.18 Gr. 4
Niall Buckley RIDGEWOOD 56.29 Gr. 4

Girls:
Shelly Gibney SENECA 1:04.50 Gr. 3
Janee Sharper WOODROW WILSON 1:04.59 Gr. 3
Kamice Smalls CAMDEN 1:04.79 Gr. 3
Jamie Leacock HOWELL 1:05.02 Gr. 4
Kimberly Menafra JACKSON 1:05.24 Gr. 4
Ebony Young HILLSBOROUGH 1:05.56 Gr. 4


Here's what the deal is in all other events

BOYS 100M - Not sure if they only take times from the finals, but if that is the case, then not counting the still unpublished private school results, the 6th non-medalling time right now is 11.40.

BOYS 400M - only Egg races were run, the SP guys will have to shoot tomorrow for sub-50.76 to have a chance at a wild card.

BOYS 1600M - with the private races still to go, the 6th place now is 4:26.86. Unless anything changes, the qualifiers will be Southwick, Wittman, Lein, Ciambrello, Labar, and McKenney, all from Groups 3 and 4.

GIRLS 100M - SP still not scored, the 6th (and last) non-qualifying place at EH was 13.18

GIRLS 400M - 6th time at Egg was 58.70, but that will definitely change tomorrow

GIRLS 1600M - without the private races, the cutoff is 5:08.79 and the qualifiers would be Thompson, Traynor, Buck, and Sullivan (Gr. 3) plus Penney and Cundey (Gr. 4)

Field events:

BOYS TRIPLE JUMP: without Group B, the cutoff is 42'9 with the qualifiers being Steven Johnson (4), Opie Muse (3), Raimundo Leach (3), Malcom Dock (4), Kyle Hayes (2), and Jerome Leslie (3)

BOYS DISCUS: without Group B, the cutoff is 142'11 with the Qs Travis Decker (3), Matthew Ristow(3), Zach Shapiro (2), Mark Smith (4), Hye-Chun Gehring (3), and Brian Winn (4).

BOYS HIGH JUMP: that's more complicated as the ties might be broken down by the numbers of misses, combined from all 6 groups. Right now without Gr. 3 and Gr.A there is one non-qualifier with 6'6, another four with 6'4, and another three with 6'2.

GIRLS LONG JUMP - with only Gr. 3 missing, the cutoff right now is 15'7.25 (that's actually a tie for 6th between two girls) and all the qualifiers right now are from Gr. 4 (places 7th though 11th) and Gr. 2 (7th and 8th)

GIRLS SHOT PUT - without Gr. 3 and Gr. B the cutoff now is 36'4 with places 7-11 from Gr. 4 and seventh girl from Gr. 2 in line to MOC.

GIRLS JAVELIN - no results from SP yet. Cutoff now is 109'6. Four girls from Gr. 2 and two from Gr. 4 are the top 6 right now.

Matt Poskus JR CINNAMINSON 1:57.76
Alex Best JR PLEASANTVILLE 1:57.95
Joel Trager SR WESTWOOD 1:58.77
Dylan Frost SR RANDOLPH 1:58.94
Brian Toms 12 TRITON 1:58.94
Adam Hirschberg SR TOMS RIVER EAST 1:58.94

What the heck happened to the timing here? 3 guys from group 4 had the same time. The other odd thing was that everyone came out of only groups 2 and 4. A lot of people must have dropped out in group III for that to happen.

These are unnofficial I got the info from MCTrack.

[XCrunner007]

George Johnson (from Msgr. Donovan) edges McKenney for the final 1600 wildcard 4:26.83 - to - 4:26.86. (I'm pretty sure)

If so, that is close.

[JustRun07]

when will we get a full list of wildcards for boys/girls?

[scott c]

I am in the process of a major blog post, but I thought I'd share one note on here first.

All 12 jav wildcards (boys and girls) are coming from Egg Harbor's all-weather runway. It's hard to imagine that would have been the case had the S. Plainfield facilities not been under water.

south plainfield's runway was ridiculous. spikes were ineffective because they just slid through the mud anyway

It looks like I'll have an hour or so to kill while I'm watching the Mets, so I'll get to work on a wild-card list.

If anyone is already doing so, let me know to save me the trouble. Thanks.

Trachsel is pitching, so an hour should get you maybe into the top of the second

[Paul Schwartz]

Is Heath Bell the new Jorge Julio?

Scott as usual a great job with these minor corrections
Boys
800 -- 1;58.77 was run by Joel Trager, Westwood, now Turlip
HJ -- Only one of the three at 6-2 will advance based on misses unless Danser goes soft again
PV -- only place holders advance -- so that makes 14 at 13-6 and 7 at 13-0 of whom only 4 will advance based on misses.

More to come

Maybe

Paul

[Paul Schwartz]

Everything Scott did was right except:

HJ -- 4 5-2 jumpers in just 2 of 8 5-0 should be in
PV -- 17 place holders 9-7 or better, 18th will be 1 of 4 place holders at 9-6
JT -- Scotch Plains girl was a discus thrower; last wild card Rebecca Misko of Madison 109-6

Great job Scott

Rotten job Met bullpen

Why pull Trachsel in the 1st place?

[MontyXC1]

in response to the post about the 800 wildcards, the conditions for group 3 and parochial schools were much much worse than the conditions for group 1,2,4

hence the times in those races are slower as a whole

[skifree]

In events wiht finals, aka the 100 and 110hh, would the wildcards be given to the next 6 fastest, or the next 6 fastest that made finals. I know there are MANY more guys that ran faster than 15.5 or whatever that last time in the unofficial list is. Just look at group 3 and group 4 prelims. Anybody have an official ruling? I would think it is arbitrary to give slower kids wildcards when the whole point of wildcards is to give MOC births to the next 6 fastest runners.

[the one and only]

Anybody know anything about the seedings?

[Paul Schwartz]

Six fastest from those who made finals.

Because everyone in baseball has some kind of amnesia where they've forgotten how the game was played 20 years ago. I blame Tony LaRussa.

[scott c]

And thanks for the corrections, Paul. That's why I called them unofficial.

Mr. Danser, call me to find out where to send the check.
