Current the Stanford women are in 6th place (10) with events left in the tourney.  This may end up in one of the scenarios, beyond the base case, in the grid you tweeted out with percentages and points needed based on Baseball scoring.

They are only so high because of the long jump championship. Most events haven’t been scored yet. They will slide down for sure.

DISASTER!!!!  Blackwood fell on the last hurdle and came in last.  Was headed for first.

If Blackwood doesn't fall we could have finished high enough to clinch it tonight. I believe we are still good no matter tomorrow because Stanford would damn near have to win the Meet and they can't.

But would have been nice mathematically tonight. Coach Flo has done well in the past, but programs are on a downward trajectory here lately. No way Texas should only get 10 points in this meet . Women won't be any better tomorrow.

Need more funding for the Cross Country and Track & Field, that’s 6 of the 21 varsity sports.

Totals were previously shown with 4 points for the women.  Now it is zero.   4 points were for finished scored events so not sure what is going on there.

You are assuming we score more in baseball.  Stanford women are currently in 7th place, but, with only a couple opportunities to improve their score.  Also lots of teams should move ahead of them.  Need them to finish lower than 12th.

Final:  Men's TF in 26th place
