College Weekend Roundup

On Friday I posted a weekend college preview of sorts, by listing out the major players in each event and what (if anything) they'd be doing and where they'd be doing it.

In the process of figuring out who the "major players" are, I decided on a top-ten ranking based on how they did at the NCAA Indoor Championships (if applicable) and last year's NCAA Outdoor, plus their PR and their 2011 best mark.  I'll update this weekly as part of the weekend preview.

Now on the other end of the weekend I'm letting you know how they did.  Expect this on Mondays.  I'll get the women into the act next week.
