So Chez, Jenkins, Rosa should've been 1-3.

Wonder what happened to Korolev

You might be right.

What do I win?

We should have known, Korolev racing on Halloween was a recipe for disaster

A gentlemen's bet. :)

Colorado 30

Oregon 57

Stanford 60 (with Korolev 9th)

Washington 87

You win the Captain Obvious Award for boldly predicting that arguably the best college cross country team of the last several years would win their conference meet by more than five points.

Ches closed in 8:24 for his last 3k. Flying.

Call me a naïve Duck, but I still think Oregon has a chance at NCAAs if Cheserek and Jenkins are in the top 5 and 1 or 2 of Colorado's top 5 has an off race.

Thanks! I'll mail you my acceptance speech.

Why do they call it the pac12 if there are only 9 teams?

They (Oregon) certainly have a chance, but I think Colorado will handle the extra 2k well, and Hursysyzzyyz had what I would call an off day.

I was surprised with how well Stanford ran, minus Maksim. Now, repeating that at NCAAs may be asking a lot of them.

I mean, Wisco managed to lose nationals one year with Teg, Solinsky, Bairu, Nelson, and Spiker or Lockhardt or someone, so stranger things have happened.

Pac-12s was just the latest evidence of what is become clearer week by week: this Colorado team is historically good.

Putting five in front of the guy who just won Wisconsin is ridiculous. You can make the argument that Korolev didn't run his best (and he probably didn't), but Rosa was the only guy that lost to him at Wisco and beat him today (and you can argue Rosa had an off day at Wisco and that he's basically on the same level as Korolev right now). AND CU didn't even run Morgan Pearson, who is looking more and more likely to redshirt as the season goes on.

Obviously a big race for Stanford too. They're not going to win the whole thing, but being within three points of Oregon is a good sign and suggests they have a shot at the podium if they run well at nationals (a big if recently).

One final note: Colorado actually scored fewer points at Pac-12s last year (28 versus 30 this year) but I bet they score a lot fewer than 149 at NCAAs this year.

It's tough running three hard races to end the season - conference, regionals and nationals. All it takes is a cold working its way through a team for things to head south.

I would think Colorado and Oregon will run to just qualify at regionals and save themselves for NCAAs.

I think for the Oregon Women to contend for a national title in a few weeks, Oregon needs a little more from their #6 and #7 runner...Megan Patrignelli and Lindsey Crevoiserat. Earlier in the season, both seemed to be the top 2 runners for Oregon. LC has really struggled as of late.
