Let's face it. They have a Footlocker champ who might not even make the top 7. They have a 3:37 guy who might not make the top 5. They are going to romp Wisconsin and beat a tough CU team. They are back on top in the fall like the old days.
I second that. We'll be calling those hogs in Terre Haute. #42 folks, they can put 2 teams out there this yr. Nobody has depth that coach Mac has. Wisco prob we'll be runner up again!!!
They might want to run Kosgei occasionally if they want to win. Heard he's out with an injury and might have to redshirt.
Ark will stomp the dogshit out of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is too full of themselves just like last year and they will go down again -- anaerobic on their own hubris.
Woah, guys. Arkansas has a great team. No doubt. And things look great for them, but it's a long, long way until November 21.
Not to mention there are quite a few programs that are within half a step. It might come down to whose squad screws up the least at the National Championship.
CU BUFFS!
My understanding is Kosgei is running. It's a long season, and I think he'll be back.
Are you kidding me, how is Wisconsin "full of themselves"???
Wisconsin screwed up marginally last year and lost when they had a better team against weaker competition. Withrow, Solinsky, and who else???
Boit, Kosgei, and Forrest are all just as good as them if not better.
Bairu as well...thought he had graduated. However, after the top 3 Arkansas is much stronger.
Wisconsins 4 and 5 are sub 28:40 and 28:55 guys on the track and Eagon beat one of those guys. I don't know where this Arkansas depth is. Withrow and Bairu should be considered as good or better then the Arkansas Kenyans in cross. It really does not matter anyway because the race is in November and then we will see.
i think it will be a close race, and i don't have a bias either way, but for those saying that wisconsin can't run well at nationals, just remember what happened to forrest and perkins last year at nationals
Not only is Wisconsin good, but I think they have 3 runners in particular, Bairu, Withrow and Solinsky, who'll rise to the occasion. These guys could actually finish 1-3.

It's possible...but i think Chesseret will win if the weather is good for him. He's far superior to any Wisconsin runner right now...the Kenyans seem to not be able to run well in the weather given them at nationals sometimes though. But if it's favorable adn he's healthy, he should destroy the wisco guys. Fastest 5k runner in the NCAA last year, and probably could have ran 2735-40 in the 10k. He's that good.
They absolutely could go 1-2-3, You arkansas fans just say they have 'depth' and will kill wisco. Look at the numbers, wisco may turn out to be ONE of the greatest teams all-time. You know on paper wisco is head and shoulders above

Cheseret hasn't been a serious nationals factor though. While he's getting better, I don't see a reason to think he'll win when he couldn't really contend in previous years. It's not like he wasn't impressive in past races leading up to NCAA's.

i agree with you. i think cheseret will come out on top this year. he is just a phenomenal runner. And look for obed mutanya to be right on his heels. the whole UofA squad should do well. they have an awesome team, granted its full of kenyans, but they still good. i mean with trafeh as their 5th man, they shuld place well.
BAIRU BAIRU BAIRU BAIRU
Lets do it
I know for a fact ford and eagon will make the wisco top 5 and i have seen ford beat forrest 3 times already on track at 10km and we all know ford is way better at cross. Hasn't the guy finished top 20 twice before and he is 5th year, he will tear it up this year come nationals.
