Kosgei for the win ftw
Does anyone else believe North Central can score less then 32 points? I belive if there is going to be any year for them to do it.... its this year
they definitely could. and this would be the year to do it. lets hear your individual top 10 or top 10 teams
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Their focus is to win. It's been a long time since the last one and none of their runners should be focused on anything else but winning.
Top 10 individual preditions:
1.Mike Spain- North Central
2.Peter Kosegei-Hamilton
3.Ricky Flynn-Lynchburg
4.Edgar Kosgey-Williams
5.Kyle Brady-North Central
6.Zach Wilhelmy-Lacrosse
7.Dan Greeno-Bethel
8.Michael Heymann-Platsburg
9.Seth Dubois-Cortland State
10.Ryan Carrigan-North Central
Top 3 teams:
1.North Central
2.Cortland State
3.Lacrosse
North Central is good, but they will not put anyone ahead of Kosgei. Nobody can challenge Kosgei. Last year, only one guy gave Kosgei a shot and everybody else just hung back. Spain is good enough to get second. But if he goes after Kosgei he won't finish that high. Spain has a team competition to win. I don't see him risking it for the chance of chasing down Kosgei. Save that for the track. That being said, I'd love to see someone challenge Kosgei.
look for ian bauer of hamline to be a top 15 guy. and look for the hamline men to come out big. their number two runner devin monson (sophomore) has pr'ed the last two meets and placed 6 in regions. look for him to be top 30, and for hamline to be a surprise team this year
surprises abounding
A little biased are we?
even if he is a biased hamline runner, they have the potential to make some serious noise if a couple of their guys have decent races.
You could say the same about most of the teams... that's a very general estimate to begin with.
If Allegheny can get Dipre and Ross to step up, they are a top 5 team. Parker and Marker are almost surefire All Americans (1/2 at Oberlin and NCAC's), Dipre is a returning All-American, and Ross is a bit of a wild card.
Lynchburg will pull an upset and win. Just wait until I can say "I told you so." Also, Ricky Flynn will dominate everybody but them cuss out the fans as he nearly misses the shoot and get DQ'd.
*chute
...also, South will get exactly 0 teams in the top 20. Mark my words.

1/2 at regionals, too.
you're right though, in order to be top 5 dipre will have to return to form, to say nothing of the others.
How large a wager would you like to place on that?
Are people thinking Ricky Flynn will be #2 behind Kosgei?
Predictions:
1-Kosgei
2-Flynn
3-Heymann
4-DuBois
5-Spain
6-Kosgey
7-Wilhelmy
8-Ramsey
9-Brady
10-Wager
