SUNYAC Track and Field 2015-2016

Entries for the first Cornell meet this weekend.

If Carr from Oneonta can run that time in the 300m, he's gotta be the national favorite in the 400m for indoor and outdoor.

Any other entries/non-entries stand out to anyone?

Way to early to tell anything, and i doubt he even gets close to that this year.

will be interesting to see Collins and Mulcahy from fredonia in the 3k. both made nattys for cross and Mulcahy has incredible speed

kyle collins with a nice 5k-3k double. see you all in a month

After looking over the pre-holiday break results, I have a couple thoughts to share:

- Cortland seems to have reloaded after a couple years at the bottom of the top tier of the conference. They have some excellent freshmen (Outing, Malone, Feil, Nitterour), as well as a few outstanding transfers (Meszler, Flood). I believe that Nick Marcantonio is also returning for his last year of eligibility so we should see him drop some fast times later in the season.

- Brockport looks like they will continue to do well in PV, and throwing.

- Let's hope that the Oneonta distance crew can rebound after a very, very disappointing XC season. They've had success in year's past so perhaps that will continue.

- Geneseo's top sprinter (Segelin) looks to be in the best shape of his career. He is already looking like a candidate to win the short sprints this year. We'll see how the Geneseo XC season success translates onto the track. Looks like none of their top guys have ran yet, which is a typical strategy for them. Garcia has to be a favorite for NCAA's in the mile/3k, correct?

- Besides Kyle Collins, Fredonia hasn't had any great performances yet.

- Where's Buff State? They always seem to get an extraordinary season out of some rookies who then transfer/drop out and disappear from the track scene. Will that happen again?

Way too early predictions for indoor SUNYACs:

60m: Segelin

200m: Meszler

400m: Kouyate (if he's still at Buff State, their rosters haven't been updated)

800m: Becker (see above)

Mile: Garcia

3K: Collins

5K: Marcantonio

60mHH: Outing

4x4: Cortland

DMR: Geneseo (if they use all of their top guys, they have to be looking at an AA finish at NCAAs)

HJ: Flood

LJ: Flood

PV: Oehler

SP: Don't know enough about it, so I won't guess!

WT: See above

Hep: Christopherson

I'm a Cortland Alumnus, so I'm sure my definite biases shown through on my note!

Everyone else share your thoughts!

agreed on cortland, they look to be back where they once were (from what we can tell through 2 weeks). they are obviously a contender because of their sprints. distance wise, marco will podium in 3k and 5k. other than that, i dont see them scoring much distance wise. they wont have anyone score in the 8 or the mile. mitch ryan never seems to have a great indoor season, he can definitely score in the 3k and 5k though, but i think he'll only score in one

carr from oneonta will take the short sprints, but they lost all of their good throwers so they need some help from the md and distance. they'll hold their own in the sprints. farrell is back for the 8 and mile, contender in the 8. their distance seems to always do better in track but they only really have 4 that will compete to score. we'll see if lupia and busby (both 5k contenders based on prs), bernstein (scored in the 3k last year) and fleming can take some crucial points.

geneseo lacks the depth in sprints but CAN make up for it in distance. however, not one person scored in the 3k-5k last year. garcia-cassani will win the mile, and i would assume double back for the 3k and is obviously the favorite for that as well. the team wont be a title contender in my eyes

brockport lost a lot from last year. still good with throws but lost sprints and doesnt have anyone other than gary in the distance, who wont score much, if any. pole vault and throws are going to carry their team, but wont be a title contender in indoor.

Thats my order for sunyacs. cortland's sprints and field will carry them over oneonta who won't be able to match them in the field events

Dude who gives a shit about which team wins SUNYAC's, It is pretty pointless as well as the individual titles for that matter. Nationals is what matter. Who is the last SUNYAC track and field athlete to win a National championship? Honest question because i have no idea. what about distance runner?

BINGHAMTON!!!

Patrick Weinert from Oneonta won hammer throw last outdoor

Sean Bernstein from Oneonta won the 200 back to back years in outdoor

Nick Guarino from Fredonia won FIVE in the 800, 1500 and mile from 2010-2011

so the last distance runner was in 2011. I would consider Issac a contender for national titles in the mile, 3k, 1500 and maybe the 5k, whichever he chooses. also, I see Becker of Buff State getting a national title in the 800 this year. The sunyac just isnt a powerhouse at the national level for distance. never has been, never will be. good new york high schoolers dont go to d3 suny school in most occasions, not with teams like SU, Iona, Binghamton, Buffalo and Albany in the area. many all americans from all over the sunyac is sprints and field though, guys and girls

I don't see issac having the closing speed to kick with the winner, or becker having the stamina to make it through the rounds.

agreed here, it was a weak field indoors and isaac didn't even make outdoors, becker didn't even get all-american last year. isaac better bet would 3k or 5k for sure based on is improved endurance from xc. depends though on if its a weak or strong year.

can someone explain to me what goes on at Oneonta during the winter? their indoor performances from mile to 5k are significantly better than their cross country performances. they dominated indoor distance. are they really that much better or does everyone else just take indoor easy?

Who says the dominated indoor distance hondo??? Please give facts for 'dominating' indoors?

5k: 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th = 21 points

3k: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th = 21 points

total of 42 points out of a total of 78 points

no other team scored more than 27. 15 points is quite a bit, considering this was a team that got 3rd at SUNYACs in cross country that year. I'm not saying they run amazing in indoor with crazy pr's

Missing from the SUNYAC National Championship list:

Oneonta 4x100 Relay - 2013 - Wheeler, Bernstein, Carr, Alviene.

I'll leave out the 4 national runner-up performances they've had in the last 4 years, because that's not what we're talking about.

Oneonta distance dominated indoor track last year because their team was counting on their distance runners to help secure their 3rd team title in 3 years. Fortunately, their distance runners could have scored 1 point instead of 42, and Oneonta would have still won the team title.

First real week of the indoor season starts tomorrow, Fredonia and Geneseo are at RIT and Oneonta is at Utica. I wouldn't expect anything big from anyone, but we'll be able to see some early season performances

kind of a disappointing start to the season for the sunyac distance wise. no really quick times, but it's still early I suppose.

800 has 4 under 2:00 (Moynihan, L. Mazzuca, Feil, Faulkner)

Mile has 5 under 4:25 (Mulcahy, Garcia-Cassani, Vinson, Collins, Granger)

3k has 10 under 9:00 (Collins, Garcia-Cassani, Busby, Ryan, Briggs, Burks, Lupia, Mulcahy, Fleming, A. Mazzuca)

5k has 3 under 16:00 (Collins, Pulvidente, Panus)

All lack-lust times, but can't wait to see a bunch of guys start going under 1:56, 4:20, 8:40 and 15:30. Thoughts?

Weekend update:

Geneseo finally shows up

Lupia runs a nice 5k

Mulcahy runs a nice mile

Kyle Collins runs a nice 3k

Did I miss anything?

Yeah, the part where Nick Marc and Mitch Ryan's 3k performances are actually very impressive for Barton Hall's shitty-ass track.
