Yes/No: How Many 4 x 400 Provos at MIAC?

After last week's conference meets for Division I and II, we turn our attention to Division III and the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. This year, the two-day meet is being held at Carleton College and starts Friday at 4:30 P.M.

A large number of MIAC athletes have already recorded qualifying marks for the National Meet and many others will attempt to do so this weekend. One of the best events will be last - the 4x400 relay which already has four teams provisionally qualified with others looking to hit that mark on Saturday.

Our question ...

Y/N: Will more than four teams (men and women) run provisional qualifying times for Nationals in the 4x400 at the MIAC meet on Saturday?

On the men's side, Bethel (3:18), Hamline (3:19), and St. Thomas (3:19) have all run well under the provisional mark of 3:21.00. Gustavus and St. Olaf could put together strong relay teams as well.

For the women, where a time of 4:00.00 is required to provisionally qualify, St. Thomas sports a very fast 3:56 and St. Kate's looks to be the closest pursuer, having run 4:03. Gustavus and Carleton also have an abundance of middle-distance talent and could run a fast relay, too.

To play our game, simply type "yes" or "no" into the subject line of an e-mail and send it to us at DtBFantasy [AT] gmail [DOT] com before 5:00 P.M. CST, Saturday, March 6th. Please put your answer in the subject line of the e-mail and make sure your full name appears somewhere in the e-mail. We will continue to offer a bonus for participants making their debut in Yes/No - a correct answer will be worth two points for any first-time players.

My answer: No

Last week was the 2010 inaugural Pick 10 Contest. The winner was Jake Marotz with 45 points, followed by Dimitri Drekonja and Rachel Karel with 41.

The monthly winners for Y/N in February included seven participants who had a perfect record for the month: Toby Hatlevig, Gregg Robertson, Dan Vogel, Mike Mason, Rich Cowles, Andrew Nussbaum and Joel Dischinger

Good luck and thanks for playing Yes/No on DtB!
