SUNYAC Track and Field 2011-2012

As a Suny G alum who bleeds blue and follows everything they do now that I'm out, Cortland scares me. They really improved this fall and have some legit middle distance kids who can run with Geneseo. The Indoor Sunyacs will be a much anticipated distance showdown.

My boys in blue have a great amount of depth though. Just look at that outdoor performance list from last spring and see most all of them are back from the 800 on up. I still get pissed though when I look and see that our sprint coaches get no sprinters in - ever. Oh to have Buff State standards! Oh to have coaches who go out and recruit like Woodsie does.[/quote]

While Geneseo's sprints have always been really weak, you can't blame their coaches entirely for the lack of solid sprint recruits. What decent high school sprinter would want to go train there? No indoor facility to speak of, no real tradition of successful sprinters, and they don't go to the banked tracks that Buff State does more often.

This is nice but I'd put Clark, 14:47 up above Marcantonio in the 5k, and possibly ahead of Novara in the 3k due to his better speed. Also Streb IS back. That is all from the guys who ran last year that I felt should be different on your list. That said, Avery, Brimstein and Mateer are back after not being healthy last year, while Peterson is unfortunately not back. This is a really good start tho.

i also guess that it would be streb, clark, carter, and brimstien in Geneseo's DMR. clark and streb are interchangable in the 1200/mile, and carter and brimstien can both have enough leg speed to run the 400 leg of the dmr and at least they would have a more consitant time than there sprinters from what ive seen) and they can both run a great 800. Which order do you think they will be in?

DMR's (12) (4) (8) (16)

Geneseo: Streb-Carter-Brimstein-Gabriel

Cortland: Amengual-Banks-Fitzpatrick-Fannon

good race right there

i think its gunna be streb in the mile, I really think carter should do the 1200 because he did it last year and ran a decent time. or the 800, brimstien in the 400 or 800 depending on carter, and clark or gabrial in there somewhere.

i agree with cortlans line up

I know that nobody supposedly takes the SUNYAC meet seriously but... Can these two teams please actually do this? I'm tired of watching boring-a$s DMRs every year.

What teams are competing at Cornell this weekend? Geneseo, Cortland and Oneonta were all there last year

I know Berube ran a fast time there last year, think any of the top guys will have a quick turn around after XC nats?

This (meet not taken seriously) is Cortland's excuse when they lose. Geneseo always takes the meet seriously. I think Oneonta, Port and Buff St take it very seriously too. Don't know about the others.

Unfortunately, you'll never see top Dmr's slug it out at the Sunyac because Geneseo will try to win without using their first line people (they have won it 8 of the last 10 years) and so will Cortland despite what they say about not taking the meet seriously.

Usually, the other schools don't have the distance depth to be able to put their front line people in that event fresh. Geneseo and Cortland usually try to go with 3 or 4 fresh second-line people in that event every year. I don't think it's boring however because it's always been a pretty close race.

eh, put Berube anchoring in 4:07 on Geneseo's DMR and its not much of a race.

If Cortland did double and triple all of their top athletes I don't think Geneseo or whoever the 3rd place team will be would have a chance

Who says gym teachers don't got jokes?

What SUNYAC teams will be competing before New Year's Eve,if any? I know it's still early in the season,but it would just be nice to see some race results and see how all the teams are coming along in their training

If you look back in the archives, Cortland does double their good athletes. Usually it's a main event and a relay or sometimes, 2 main events. Geneseo and most of the other schools double also. You very seldom see an athlete triple at the Sunyac (unless they are a pentathalete). Lee Berube has never tripled in any championship, indoor or outdoor.

All the good teams competed at Cornell yesterday.

Looks like a lot of the Geneseo predictions came true. Clark edges out Marcantonio, Brimstein runs an 8:33, former Wenley Louis is back and doesn't seem to be in bad form.

Geneseo vs. Cortland distance at SUNYAC's should be a good one
