Cross country is over and it's time to start running in ovals. Who ya got? Should be some good battles and fast times for the 3k and 5k. Cortland is going for the repeat of 2015. SUNYAC should be able to get a good amount of individuals to or close to nationals
if mitch ryan continues his decline cortland aint going nowhere
How's everyone's JPD doing? I would assume pretty good this week as everyone went home for thanksgiving.
Losing Jared and Marcantonio hasn't been doing him well. Hopefully he can bounce back
400/4x4 will be interesting this year looking at who's still around.
returning scorers from indoor last year:
800: Collins, Griffin, Vinson, Yanez?, Mazzuca, Faulkner
Mile: IGC, Briggs, McCarthy, Fleming, Akerley
3k: Ryan, IGC, Mazzuca, Pulvidente, Burks
5k: Briggs, Mazzuca, Pulvidente, Busby, Lupia
Griffin runs away with the 800, IGC with the mile, 3k and 5k are up for grabs
Cortland did a great job last weekend of not breaking 9! Bravo!
I see everyone is starting off nice and slow
Starting off slowly builds excitement
Cortland is looking good in all of the non-distance events. They currently have the top-2 Multi-eventers in the country! Those two (plus all of their other good multis) will likely win/score in multiple events come conference time.
Will IGC triple up at SUNYACs in the Mile/3k/5k? He could probably will them with around 4:18/8:45/15:15.
What other predictions do people have?

I predict that you're a moron for thinking that the 5k will be won in 15:15.

Geneseo probably tries to qualify some of their top guys from cross for the 5k at nationals.
Mile will also be won in much faster than 4:18, and 3k faster than 8:45 I have no idea why you think those times would win.
The mile won't need to be much faster than 4:18 to win this year with no Mulcahy to push (beat) IGC. The only other three with miles under 4:20 last year are Briggs, McCarthy and Fleming at 4:17, 4:18 and 4:19. Then Granger and Griffin at 4:20.
The 3k will be won in the 8:30s, no faster because not a single person who can run fast runs fresh and is either coming back from the mile or the 5k. IGC and Lupia have the best PR's in that. Mitch Ryan is close but he hasn't performed at all this year.
The 5k should be stacked. Everyone is fresh so it will be fast if someone decides to make it an honest race. Low or sub 15 for sure. IGC, Mitch Ryan, Lupia, Burks, Mazzuca, Busby, Kramer are the front runners

IGC is on another planet compared to everyone else. So long as he stays healthy no one in the SUNYAC will come close to him.

wow, breaking news
Cortland had an amazing day yesterday across the board (except distance, but that's no surprise...). Their heptathletes/field eventers alone will most likely score enough at SUNYACs to win the team title.
Cortland will win easily with all their sprints and field events. Distance wise they're nothing but they don't need it. Top performances this weekend:
800: Faulkner(Geneseo) - 1:54.46
Bellante(Geneseo) - 1:58.82
Vinson(Plattsburgh) - 1:59.15
Mile: Akerley(Oneonta) - 4:20.70
Martin(Geneseo) - 4:24.16
Cooper(Fredonia) - 4:24.63
Kuehn(Brockport) - 4:28.46
3k: Fleming(Oneonta) - 8:33.95
Ripa(Geneseo) - 8:47.85
Brennan(Oneonta) - 8:49.01
A. Mazzuca(Geneseo) - 8:52.35
Seitz(Geneseo) - 8:56.15
5k: Busby(Oneonta) - 14:56.36
Briggs(Geneseo) - 15:06.09
Pulvidente(Geneseo) - 15:24.92
Burks(Geneseo) - 15:35.33
What's going on with Geneseo's distance runners? Guys who were top 20 in the region can't run faster than some of Oneonta's scrubs?
Those Oneonta guys should be working in a hospital because they're such scrubs!
Speaking of oneonta, anyone else notice the lack of Anthony Lupia? Fleming and Busby have had strong showings, but without Lupia they are pretty hindered in the distance events. Not to mention Collins has yet to finish an 800, so they don't have anyone there either.
