Where are Alex Gits and Claire Collison for the Stanford women? |

Gits is back in training following a post-NCAA T&F Champs injury back in June. Expects . . . maybe the right word is "demands" . . . to open at Pac-10s. She's very willfull and aggressive regarding competition. Collison ran well in the open race at Pre-Nats, her first race in uniform, and is likely to run at Pac-10s as well since 10 runners/team are allowed to compete. Also, Kate Neihaus, last year's 7th runner for Stanford at NCAAs, has recovered from a spring injury, won a small race at UC-Davis a few weekends back, and will probably race Pac-10s. 13 Stanford women have run in uniform this fall; 4 are true freshmen, 2 are redshirt frosh. The presumed #1 runner is Gits, a soph who, for the record, beat Kendra Schaaf/Washington by almost a half-minute at World Junior XC back in March (13th vs. 20th places). This is the youngest Stanford xc team probably since the 1993-1994 seasons when Vin Lananna's first recruits out of high school were all the best runners. Since Oregon and Washington are so much better this season than everyone else -- and looking like two of the greatest women's college xc teams ever -- if you could select a year to rebuild, this would be it.

Claire Durkin is also on campus, but not on the team. She may come out for the team when she finally realizes her senior year of HS was tougher than the first two years at Stanford. |

Chetelat is pretty fast though. Though I think Gits beat her at US Juniors (and World XC), but then Chetelat was close to Hasay's level in track last spring and Hasay beat Gits at US Juniors... Also, Hasay will almost certainly be going to Stanford, so that will help them a lot right there. It should be an interesting showdown next year, Oregon vs. Stanford vs. Washington. |

I think with the recent rise in UWs running fortunes, I wouldn't leave out UW for the Hasay sweeps. |

UW and UO will both be returning 4 of their top-5 next year, so Stanford at best won't be competitive with them until 2010. |
