After looking at the majority of the women's conference results, it appears that the Stanford women are a bit vulnerable in their 3-5 spots. Their 1 - 5 spread was over 1 minute this week-end so their pack isn't as tight as it appeared last week.
Arizona was a very close second with only 38 seconds separating their 1 - 5 runners.
Notre Dame appears to have 4 solid, consistant runners, but their 5th is quite a ways back and will hurt them at nationals.
Michigan will be running tomorrow. They have one solid front runner and a very tight pack in the 2 - 6 positions, however, their 2 - 6 runners are well off their leader.
Duke will run on Monday. If they can keep their pack as tight as it was last meet (34 seconds for their 1 - 6 runners), I think they will be impossible to beat.
What does everyone else think about the top 5 ranked women's division 1 teams?
My Picks:
Duke
Notre Dame
Stanford
Michigan
Arizona State
