Predictions for D3 NE this year? Will the NESCAC continue to dominate? Very basically if you take away seniors on the top 6 teams not much changes. (I know this was calculated very inaccurately, but it was just to get a basic idea.) Tufts is basically returning everyone with almost everyone else losing two. MIT is hit real hard by graduation. That being said, this is from regionals and nationals was a whole other story. With Schmidt gone it looks like individually it’s going to be between Coby and Rand for the individual title. Not sure if anyone else has a shot, but you never know. NE should definitely get 3 at large bids for nationals though. My prediction is that it’s the same 5 teams as last year, probably just switched up a bit depending on who’s on or off. Incoming freshmen could also make it interesting. Based on regionals from last year, this is what it’ll look like: 1. Williams 2. Midd 3. Tufts 4. Bowdoin 5. Bates 6. MIT n/a 1 Williams 88 7 10 22 23 26 40 50 Lose 3 and 6 New Score: 116 2 Middlebury 89 1 14 17 28 29 39 149 Lose 1 and 7 New Score: 127 3 Bowdoin 160 2 24 37 43 54 64 86 Lose 2 and 4 New Score: 243 4 Bates 161 18 20 34 42 47 55 108 New Score: 248 Lose 3 and 4 5 Tufts 175 3 30 35 44 63 71 80 Lose 7 New Score: 175 6 Mit 195 12 15 32 66 70 89 106 Lose1, 2, 4, and 6 New Score: n/a |

Incoming freshman. I know for a fact that Middlebury has a sick recruiting class. Especially from California. |

Can anyone confirm or deny the rumor of inter-regional movement from the D3 XC thread? I believe the claim was that Amherst, Middlebury, and Williams are moving to the Atlantic region. |

Williams' Schedule currently says that their regionals is at Westfield state...ergo they're still in NE. At least that's as much as I'd presume. Is there a list of incoming freshmen anywhere? |
| yessir |
| ||
|
Can confirm. Teams in NE that are west of the Connecticut River are moving to the Atlantic Region. Not happening till Fall 2013, though. |
| Does that mean.. |
| ||
Does that mean Amherst is staying then but Westfield State and Smith are peacing out? |

Above is correct; Amherst will be stayin in the NE Region but Westfield St. & Smith are heading to the Atlantic Region along with Williams & Middlebury for the 13' season |
| and |
| ||
|
Wesleyan will be moving too (just west of the CT River). |
| New Names |
| ||
|
Will the regions be getting new names? Feel like it would be weird for a team in Vermont to be competing in the "Atlantic" region when there is a "New England" region... |

The new regions are all going to be named by color. I think the old New England region is going to be called the purple region, but like someone said, this isn't going to go into effect until 2013. |
| Sounds prestigious.... |

|
....representing a color at nationals. Purple Pride? |
| Plz to explain |

Let's talk more about recruiting classes. |

would think that Amherst might be able to challenge for a top 5 spot. Couple of their guys are coming off strong track seasons. They seem to be 1 guy away from really posing a threat. Anyone know what their recruiting class looks like? |

Isn't it the only New England region? I mean, isn't it the whole northeast for d1? |

Does anyone have info on recruiting classes? One or two good recruits could make the difference for a number of these teams. Of course, high school success doesn't always translate to college success, especially in the first year i.e. Coby. As far as I can tell this year is going to be wide open teamwise with no clear favorites. Just as it seems to be every other year in NE... |
