Otukile Lekote, one of the favorites in the 800m, gets ready for heat one.
Timothy Dunne, a junior from Missouri and Marc Sylvester, a freshman from Tennessee, fight for position at the start.
As they break for the poll, Lekote is up there, as is Auburn's Fred Sharpe. Trailing are Kentucky's Chad Johnson and Arkansas' Said Ahmed.
Sylvester, Lekote and Sharpe lead.
Down the home stretch it's Sylvester (2nd, 1:48.59) and Lekote (1st, 1:48.57). Fred Sharpe (3rd, 1:48.99) and Said Ahmed (4th, 1:49.41) also qualified out of this heat.
The second of two heats in the 800, L-R: Stewart Kimball, Sam Burley, Elliott Blount, Simon Kimata, Aldwyn Sappleton, Jonathan Johnson and Robbie Stevens.
Florida's Moise Joseph, Penn's Sam Burley and Missouri's Stewart Kimball trail the pack.
Burley, Joseph and Kimata.
Burley won in 1:48.41, Joseph finished second in 1:48.44, Kimata (3rd, 1:48.55) and Jonathan Johnson (4th, 1:48.73) also advanced.
Heat one of two in the mile, L-R: Scott McGowan, Dan Wilson, Hunter Spencer, John Jefferson, Brandon Strong, Eric Garner and Bashar Ibrahim.
Wilson leads, Strong, Njubi, Ibrahim and Jefferson follow.
TCU's Eliud Njubi leads, followed by Washington's Eric Garner and UConn's Dan Wilson.
Garner, with a 3:58.93 qualifying time run last week, was one of the most suprising runners not to advance. John Jefferson (trailing), an Indiana freshman, won in 4:06.26.
Jefferson heads to a win, Hunter Spencer finishes second (4:06.27) and Njubi third (4:06.90). After a slow first half (2:05) all of the time qualifiers came from heat two.
Dan Wilson tried to move out with less than 200m to go and ended up stumbling into the infield. He finished 7th in 4:08.41 but apparently filed a protest and was granted entrance into Saturday's final.
Alabama's David Kimani, Stanford's Don Sage and Michigan's Nathan Brannen at the start of heat two.
Arkansas' Chris Mulvaney, Weber State's Joel Atwater, Illinois State's Christian Goy, Michigan's Brannen, Alabama's Kiman and Weber State's Jeremy Tolman.
Brannen, a freshman, had the distinction of behing the only runner in this heat not to advance to the final. It was a physical but relatively fast race, Brannen was 8th in 4:03.53.
Kimani and Tolman lead, Goy, Sage and the rest of the pack follow.
Don Sage, a sophomore at Stanford, won the heat in 4:01.80.
