Thanks, that kinda what my coach is thinking. Penn Indoors late Jan, conference and Nationals. What about IC4A's though, its two weeks before nationals in that enough time, I've always done it before trying to quilify for nationals.
I would trust your coach. I've heard he's never been wrong.
As CW said, people who scramble for marks at the last minute often screw there chances at the big meet if they do happen to get in. Sometimes it even carries over to the outdoor season. This is especially true for the multis and the gruelling longer events like a 10k or marathon. In a scenario that confronts pretty much only NE coaches, you really need to pick your battles. You can't expect to do a multi at conference, IC4A champs, and nationals and still compete at a high level.
