I think those were team scores for 5k not 7K.
Last you could see on NCAA video was NCC, Calvin, Haverford but who knows?
Midwest 3 of the top 5 teams and 5 of the top 9.
1. NC 160
2. Calvin 180
3. Haverford 181
4. La Cross 182
That's a tight race, high scores all around. Big day for number five runners today.
The live stream showed results at 5k and North Central was in 4th with 222? Their scoring 5 passed that many runners the last 3k....amazing finish and win. What a close finish for the next 3 teams! Great race!
I'm just repeating what the announcer said for 7K. So it looks like North Central's #1 guy was John Crain in 6th. That's impressive, as he was 17th at Regionals. It sure helps when your #4 guy has the race of his life.
I should have gone with my gut -- I put Grant Wintheiser at #4 on my ballot because of the strong field, but I should have gone with third. I knew he was being unfairly overlooked, so nice to see him prove himself as the real deal. I'm hoping St. Olaf did well too, I picked them for 7th. Not unrealistic, the school had gotten that spot in 2004.
I had Sparks for 8th and Over for 9th, oh well.
Huh, what happened to CMS? I thought their sub-25 avg. at that random course made them the class of the field
CMS lived up to their ranking, finishing 10th. Pomona was 24th and LaVerne was 31st...so much for the West region teams being underrated...
Wow! If only WI-La Crosse had moved up one more, I'd have had a perfect top 5! I had La Crosse in 3rd, Haverford 4th, Washington 5th.
I had Claremont at 6th but were 9th. St. Olaf at 7th but they were tied for 13th, NYU at 8th and they were 21st, oops. I knew they were overrated but didn't know by that much. I picked Middlebury for 9, were 12, and Pomona for 10, were 24. I listened to the hype on them, oh well. So much for West Coast being under-rated.
Odd, it seemed the scores changed from the first time I looked. St. Olaf is now 12th, Middlebury 11th, NYU 22nd.
I noticed that too. Wheaton dropped from 8th to 14th in the unofficial scores.
Something's off with the scores. They have Chris Lee (Williams) down 122 spots from where he apparently should be, knocking Williams down from 11th or so to 16th:
139 Michael Ellenberger Washington U. 26:00.0
140 Chris Lee Williams 24:54.8
141 Austin O'Brien Central College 26:01.1
Watching the stream, Nelson looked absolutely spent in the end, was slowing down the last 50 meters, and collapsed after the line. Was it windy and he had a rough day out front the whole time? Or perhaps he just felt his 8 second lead was comfortable enough and was glad to be done. He was a senior in track so I'm guessing his eligibility is over?

Ya I saw that too, the results are still being updated, that should bump them up to ~11th when you take out individual scorers
All results are still changing. Look at the times, they don't yet match the places.
Grant Wintheiser in the top 3, suckahzzzz
Hrm, I wonder if results will change yet again.
Either way, Bates and Tufts had very good days, for 6th and 7th. Tully Hannon was only 17th at Regionals, and Tufts team was only 5th at regions.
Jordan Schilit (Haverford) missed a lot of training this fall with achilles trouble. (fortunately for Calvin)
MIT women blew up after 3k
