NAIA INDOOR NATs

I don't see a lot of runners yet from Mariposa School of Applied Textiles. But they usually qualify late.

do you really still think this is funny? I mean why even waste your time posting this...it would be funny if you made it up or if this wasn't the 100th time its been posted. Yet it is and you didn't so you just look like a pathetic idiot desperate for any one to think your funny. your not.

Ouch. Just trying to have fun. No bad intent. I'll stop bringing it. Maybe you don't understand it. Its a pretty fun thought, about a school struggling through...oh well, never mind. Ouch "pathetic idiot desperate for anyone to think you're funny." Ouch. Too much caffeine? A rash? Maybe you could ramp it down a little.

By the way, I was the one who made it up. Bummer.

I think this year is interesting, just like cross, it seems to be a little down in the top positions, but the depth is a little better.

I'm alittle suprised that no teams are clear team favorites. It usually the cross champ would also be shooting for an indoor title, but malone doesn't seem to be dominating the distance events with clear winners.

Very ambiguous type of year. I'm guessing this is Lindenwood's year.

really? you were the one who made it up? becuase the original posts were by some one with a different name a few of years ago? well, i guess if you are the one to have originally made it up I can cut you a little bit of slack...it really was funny the first time it came up several years ago, now its every time there is a NAIA thread someone feels the need to bring it up and its just not that funny anymore...oh well whatever...this is my once a week check of what has become of letsrun anyway.

lol. yeah...this might help you seem a little more informed next time you want to chime in:

Lindenwood? Really? I mean come on!

OBU and Azusa both had off days at cross nats this year finishing 13th and 16th I think? had they been on that day both schools would have been top 5 based on how they had been running all season...Indoor is going to come down to those two schools...

I have to agree with others in that Lindenwood does not seem to have much of a chance. I personally think they will be hard pressed to finish top 4 or 5.

I really think it is OBU by a longshot. They are deep, really deep in the sprints through middle distances

Ok, Kiptoo was seeded high in all the distance events and can't run them all.

But still.

Seeded

2nd in the 60m

11th in the 200m

1st in the DMR

1st in the HJ

3rd in the LJ

1st in the TJ

Plus atleast 10pts from Kiptoo.

By my count thats should equate to 50+.

Last year top scores when:

Azusa Pacific 83

OK Baptist 62

Dickinson 59

But upon further review. Your right, It will likely be OK Baptist, they are in scoring position in alot of events.

oops!

you're right.

I heard they decided to lump the meet in with the High School Nike Indoor Nationals. Could just be a rumor but there has been a lot of debate lately about which group is faster, the NAIA or High School. Personally I'm going to put my money down on the NAIA because they have a huge age advantage (nearly 15 years per runner on average).

Should be interesting.

do you actually think retorting an a manner like this is going to make insecure internet trolls stop.

---instead of fighting fire with fire, just f*cking ignore it.

To the guy posting about HS vs. NAIA... I personally was better in High School. That's one point you. To be fair though, in high school all i did was play Risk and repeatedly ask girls for b*******s at house parties.... Now I'm taking a full course load, running my own business, and racing for our school. So in short, grow up.... I did.

I miss the old days of the last few years when there were more superstars-Cabada, Cheromai, Ramirez, Rodgers, Elkana, the APU relays, the Lindenwood long jumpers. Now you got Rono and thats about it. Some good teams and some good individuals, but not the rock stars. Am I missing someone out there still who can dominate?

Anyone from NAIA making the Olys this summer?

I have one that made the trials in the marathon, but not talented enough to make the team. But should be a great experience nonetheless.

Azusu will win hands down. Rono is going to win the 1000, mile, 3000, achor both 4X800 and DMR to gold. He would have won the 5000 to but the coach wants it to be atleast competitive.

I think that Mike Rodgers has a good shot. He won the USATF 60 in 6.54.

how can he win...he graduated last year!

Azusa is gonna pwn!
