    I got the following quote from the associated linked article:

    Led by standout and NCAA favorite Chris Derrick, the Cardinal head their strongest team in school history. In the prestigious PAC-10 meet, Stanford placed four runners in the top ten, six in the top fifteen, and all in the top twenty, scoring a meager 28 points in a trounce of Oregon (28-45).

    couldn't help but wonder if they had already forgotten these guys from 2003

    1 2 Ryan Hall 234 29:15.4

    2 3 (4) Grant Robison 241 29:19.2

    3 4 (5) Ian Dobson 230 29:24.7

    4 5 (6) Louis Luchini 239 29:28.2

    5 10 (12) Adam Tenforde 244 29:44.9

    6 11 (13) Don Sage 243 29:45.8

    7 26 Seth Hejny 236 30:13.3

    or do they really think that the 2009 Stanford crew can place four runners in the top six or six runners in the top 13?

    True true. And Stanford 2002, with most of the same guys, was probably better than this current team as well. I don't see the current crew putting 3 in the top six, or 4 in the top 10. Maybe 2 in the top 6 with a great race. This years 7th man might beat 2002s 7th man, but not 2003s.

    1. 47 STANFORD (29:50.9 149:14.4)

    ==========================================================

    1 3 (3) Grant Robison 624 29:36.7

    2 5 (5) Louis Luchini 622 29:41.0

    3 6 (6) Donald Sage 626 29:44.4

    4 8 (9) Ian Dobson 617 29:47.2

    5 25 (29) Adam Tenforde 628 30:25.2

    6 33 (37) Ryan Hall 619 30:31.0

    7 77 (99) Peter Meindl 623 31:07.4

    That said, this years squad might compare well to 2002, and, IIRC, is full of guys who will return next year, so it'll be interesting to see how strong they can be next year. Somehow I don't see them scoring 24 points. And if Ryan Vail can run a 7th year, they could even get beat next year.
