If person A runs 15:30 for a 5k on the track in the spring and person B runs 15:00 for a 5k in a XC race in the fall, would you argue that person A is better? I think not.

IC @ Saratoga - A not-so easy course
Hodge, Drew SR 25:48.59
Bell, Curt JR 25:51.84
Walker, Scott JR 26:17.00
Karkuff, Stefan SO 26:29.61
Palma, Anthony SO 26:36.00
Gustafson, Tyler SO 26:41.24
Craighead, Daniel FR 26:52.62
These two races were only a month apart. Are these results dispositive of Ithaca beating TCNJ? No. However, it is strong evidence that they can pull it off. Hence my aforementioned ranking.
