But then after that, I think the rest of the race was fine. I think he's ready to run 13 (seconds) flat.
If he cleans up that first huddle, everything else will take care of itself."
In other events on Wednesday, the Baylor men's 4x400-meter relay team of Aren Spencer, Malik Franklin, Bailey Hashmi, and Tyler Honeyman finished 22nd overall with a time of 3:07.91, failing to advance to the final round.
Ford reflected on the relay squad's performance.
"Pretty much everybody that made it through ran a 46-mid on the first leg, and we didn't have a 46 today on that first leg," he said.
"I thought Malik did well, ran a 44 split, but we were just too far back. I'm proud of them.
They were Big 12 champs.
I think there were two goals that we didn't do, we didn't make the finals and then not running 3-flat this year."
