Kurt Felix Finishes 13th in Heptathlon 60-Meter Hurdles

At Blue Through and Through, we're the biggest Bronco fans there are, but we're also realistic.  That is why this is the only place you heard that, although Kurt Felix was second in the heptathlon at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, he would have to fight to finish in the Top 8 and attain All-America status.  This is because we actually have followed him throughout his career, unlike other media in the Boise Valley, and know what he is good at and what he is not.


We knew that the first four events are Kurt's events, and he was able to get to #2.  The last three are not his best events, but hopefully he can do well enough in them to hang on to the Top 8.  But while other media might think 13th in the 60-meter hurdles is not good for him, we at Blue Through and Through know that it is and he is performing about as expected.
