You are seriously nuts if you just look at naked raw fractions...not only do tracks change speed from day-to-day...but stuff like wind also plays a role in fractions.

last i checked, 45.58 and 70.59 is NOT faster than 45.50 and 69.38. Par to the half mile for alw runners at sar at 7f is 45.75, and the track pace was 2 lengths slow that day.

there's a reason the mcl drew off... the rest of the field was beyond terrible.
