NESCAC Track 2008

Didn't you graduate already!

my prediction- Kosgei wins the steeple, 1500, and 800, then comes back and single handedly wins the DMR.

williams shits the bed

A game: since Peter Kosgei will win every event he is entered in, ignore him in your predictions. I will begin:

10000 Krah

5000 Watts

Steeple Sorensen

1500 Harrison

800 Kosgey

If I hadn't, I would have given my top 5 picks along with in-depth analysis in my original post. And I would have shat on Williams. Now, I have no idea what's going on as one could easily discern from my abysmal fantasy cross performance.

What is the status of Kantos? Has Butcher managed to better his sophomore year PRs? Did Tomas ever make a comeback?

tomas started doing the clear and is going to come back next year as a shotputter using the eligibility he has been saving. also the jeffs have been a bit prissy in cross recently, so his size and mentality as an enforcer will help break the williams L3s streak

ps williams sucks

im prob gay

My predictions:

I don't think entries are up until Wednesday or Thursday, so these are of course dependent on who runs what but I'll give it a shot.

800

Anderson gets the win as a senior with Kosgey in 2nd and Swanson then Powers

1500

Kosgei wins running away followed by Harrison out leaning HS teammate Moorhead then Chafee and Oglevy

3k Steeple

Sorenson and Norte break away with Sorenson winning, then Foote, Burgess and Welch rounding out the top 5

5k:?

10k

It's a repeat of every distance race of their sophomore year as the pace goes out slow for a while with Butcher eventually making a big move, only to have Krah cover him and out kick him in the last 400m

Since this thread is all about alums trying to relive their college days, I'll take this opportunity to big-up some of the folks who ran past Boston the other day: Big time props to DV, who finished 24th overall, 8th among Americans, in 2:25. Pretty good for a 22 year old who was never even a DIII national qualifier. Other former NESCAC finishers I notice: Sam Van Volkenburg, Shamus Brady, and Adam Fitzgerald. Also, Cretti had a solid race in the women's Olympic trials, finishing 21st and running about a 2:40. Not too shabby.

Also, agbat, Butcher ran a 30:50 not long ago. Not sure if that's a PR, but its sure as hell better than anything he's run in a long time.

bittles, how is the missle range? have you blown anything up yet?

Au contraire Saturday, DV was an individual qualifier in cross his senior year. But then, I would know these given that he's like Dark Link to my Link.

I like Brecher for the win in the 10,000. This is of course assuming he miscounts laps, and no one notices.

Just a few jack rabbits. They have the new guys start small, I guess.

jswan and harry-reloaded dropped 3:53s yesterday with the black knight pacing them along

Are entries posted anywhere? The schedule is on the NESCAC website.

but I don't know about entries

If Dunny is running track this year, I predict a big race from him.

butcher ran 30:48 at bucknell. he had been nursing a hamstring injury but is back after taking last weekend off. don't know what he is entered in though

Entries anyone??

New prediction: some washed up Tufts runner wins the 5k.
