D3 South Region 2007

I don't quite understand why the Centre coach has chosen not to go to Rhodes this weekend, and also not to race at all for 3 weeks, but she's a smart coach so I guess there is some overall strategy involved.

Centre has a new and very talented runner, a freshman named Sam Morgan who I have known since he was born. I have ordered him to break my 5km record!

Simply put, guys improve as they get older in college its as simple as that. van Conrtlandt is probably the most hallowed course in the US, or one of the, trust me it hasnt changed over the past year.

actually, it has changed...as was referenced before, the regional race doesn't cross over into the hills beyond the bridge (although the open race was the same as has been in the past)

C'mon man where you been this whole time. The pre-regional course preview was the one that did not cross over the bridge. The race that LC, W&L, etc. ran in, the one that matters to the south region, was the same old vanny course. Thank-you.

Paul Short tomorrow. Any news?

to kartelite:

misread your last list, disregard UTT statement.

Paul Short Prediction:

People will run very fast, and then none will run that fast at the regional.

And the talk of 6 women's teams from VA being in the top ten of the regional will persist until the regional, when only 4 will make the top ten.

UMW ran its B team at Paul Short?

...maybe it will come after the the talk of the 2, almost 3 UT-Tyler guys who beat him?

Yo, dude, I predicted Lewis to win a long time ago. I don't care what UT-WHO did this past weekend. What counts is November 10th ... and Lewis will dominate the SSE and stand up in front when they call his name at nationals. He is THE MAN, has payed his dues over the past four years, and deserves the win.

Krik graduated and went to Marine Officer Candidate School.

UT-Tyler is now top 3 in the region, maybe top two.

R.J. Cowan won in 25:36.

So, if you really thought Lewis was going to dominate the SSE, it now looks like Cowan will instead. He beat Lewis by nearly 30 seconds. Not only that, but UT-Tyler put 2 runners in front of the guy that was supposed to dominate.

Cowan and Flynn for the Region

I don't give a flying fart what UT-"who gives a crap" did this past weekend. Those guys will NOT win regionals!!

Whoa! This is getting spicy...

Does anyone know anything about the regional course? I think the last time it was run at CNU it was at a local park and was flat as a table top. Any ideas if the course is the same? different? hilly? flat?

the course is in Williamsburg (W&M) this year; i heard the CNU people didn't reserve the park in Newport News early enough.

The course is at Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg. Rolling hills, and one killer. W&M's course is short by about 75m, but their woods loops aren't wide enough to meet NCAA regs. Look for a modified 2k loop design over the hilliest part of the course.

Hendrix' wood loops weren't nearly wide enough for NCAA regs, hell nationals doesn't conform to standards sometimes. I agree that they should modify W&M's course if they wanna comply, but do you know for sure they actually will?

By killer are you talking about the really short one, aka "retard hill?" Yeah it's tough, but it's so short it doesn't make a huge difference. Is it normally run twice during the 8k race?
