Rough day for NCAA Champs:

Both the men's and women's NCAA Champions in the 800 meters struggled today in the semi-finals. Nachelle Mackie was off the back of the race which is not a typical strategy for her, which resulted her never being in the mix. Mackie says she will become a teacher after this season and will take a year off from competitve running. For Jock, he led early in 50. but was caught at 600m with Solomon went by. Fortunately for Jock, he was able to get into the final based on time while fighting a tight hip in the final stages of the race. See interview below.

Charles Jock after 800, before knowing his fate:
