Did anyone else notice the depth of this year's freshmen in the mid-d/distance events on the men's side throughout the league?
From TFRRS and a couple of the twilight meet results pages (at or better than the IC4A standards):
800m: 2 guys at 1:51.80 or better
1:50.09 Drew Magaha, Penn
1:50.20 Ned Willig, Brown
1500m: 5 guys at 3:51.00 or better
3:45.53 Ned Willig, Brown
3:48.14 Thomas Awad, Penn
3:49.19 Clark Shurtleff, Penn
3:50.80 Will Sheeran, Brown
3:50.91 Ben Rainero, Cornell
3000m Steeplechase: 2 guys at 9:15.00 or better
8:55.41 Connor Herr, Cornell
9:00.58 Brendan Smith, Penn
5000m: 6 guys at 14:36.00 or better
14:04.24 Thomas Awad, Penn
14:12.90 Tom Purnell, Harvard
14:26.52 Kevin Dooney, Yale
14:26.55 Brendan Smith, Penn
14:30.54 Curtis King, Dartmouth
14:34.83 Clark Shurtleff, Penn
10000m: 5 guys at 31:08.00
29:55.91 Kevin Dooney, Yale
30:44.07 Tyler Kawalec, Cornell
30:50.35 Brian Eimstad, Cornell
30:53.74 Michael Sublette, Princeton
31:01.63 Brett Kelly, Princeton
Thats 4 from Penn, 4 from Cornell, 2 from Brown, 2 from Princeton, 1 from Harvard, 1 from Yale, 1 from Dartmouth, and 0 from Columbia (who is already deep). The future looks pretty crazy right now.
