Times weren't crazy fast at PreNats. What was the course like?

Brutally hilly and hot. Runners were dropping off like flies in the last 1k. Several people got taken away in ambulances and one was taken in a helicopter due to heat exhaustion. Scary vibes.

Amherst wins Little 3s today, breaking Williams' streak of 29 straight. That's a Mammoth victory for the Jeffs.

La Crosse continuing to look like a solid #2 behind North Central:

Not a ton of competition, but they had a pretty tight spread behind some proven guys.

I don’t think that La Crosse should be at #2. It’s definitely CMS. Hear me out. CMS beat Pomona-Pitzer by 6 points. SUNY Geneseo also beat Pomona-Pitzer by 6 points. BUT CMS beat PP in a race with less people meaning 6 points is a bigger margin on victory. SUNY Geneseo beat PP in a much larger race where 6 points is not much. In conclusion, CMS is better than SUNY Geneseo.

Wow!!! Makes sense. Can anyone confirm?

Except that UWL got dismantled and not even taken out to dinner by Iowa Central.

I would just like to say that the Geneseo runners may be the strangest bunch I've ever seen. If you ever see them head into a locker room you better clear out. Kids went two people to a shower (probably touched each other's dicks too).

Looking for suggestions for a D3 or NAIA school with a good engineering program, ideally in the Northeast or West. XC 5k PR is currently 16:30 and junior year track times were 9:50, 4:35. 1470 SAT, 3.8 unweighted GPA.

Can anyone confirm this? Most of the Atlantic Region thinks they are pretty odd, but this is nearing the point where they must be doing it just to screw with onlookers.

RPI or RIT

STAY AWAY FROM THE WEST! I mean you could look into Harvey Mudd (joint program with Claremont McKenna), but their team is pretty awful this year despite what some trolls in this thread might make you want to think.

And then there's Pomona-Pizter, who may be up there with Geneseo in terms of weirdness. I visited their last year and those kids are off the chain. And in general the west is usually overrated...

Geneseo’s logic: let’s just embarrass ourselves twice today. It’s one thing to do it on the course but it’s pretty sad to then do it a second time in a public locker room.

Looks like someone didn’t get in. You need to loosen up. If you do, follow @loosebois on Instagram. #seductivesunday #sweetsexylove #grinddicarn #milk #squish #cecil #hens #deepcocks #tempococks

I think this just proves my point...

As an Atlantic Region guy, Geneseo bothers me about as much as they're going to bother anyone. I don't understand the idea that they've been such an embarrassing group on the course the last couple of years that this board seems to have. I'm pretty sure North Central is the only team that has beaten them since 2015. Now North Central hands them their asses on fine China, but NCC has done that to everyone the last couple of years.

Top 10 teams after this weekend?

NCC better watch out. the Genny bois are gonna hit them hard after a poor showing like that. The midwest has some work to do after prenats like that

1. North Central

2. NCC

3. North Central College

4. The Cardinals

5. North Central's B-team

6. Patel running the 8k five times

7. The Pinstripe Boys

8. North Central's Deep Coaching Staff

....

86. SUNY Geneseo

87. Pomona
