Who are the other people in the "Stanford Letsrunners" group for the USA Championships prediction contest?

Uh, I can pretty much guarantee there are people visiting letsrun on any major college campus. Alumni may also affiliate themselves with the group. What makes you think they'd been interesting in making your acquaintance?

Not a Stanford affiliate but color me surprised that there are so many people from a top university at a website like this. Are there any current people at Harvard on here too?

Why? Yes of course there are. Just look at the Harvard drama threads.

That doesn't mean they are actually at Harvard...

Why would people from a top university be any less likely to come to this site? I'd guess the average education level of posters here is quite above the national average (despite the frequent immaturity). I have two Ivy League degrees, it's not like people at top schools spend 24 hours a day reading Chaucer, sailing, or hobnobbing at the Yale Club.

Because there are not many people from top universities in general. Two ivy league degrees, let me guess, Cornell and Brown.

I think our site is overrepresented by top academic schools.

When IP addresses used to be tied by schools, the Ivy League was among the top.

Last night I was talking to Chris Derrick (Stanford) and Kyle Merber (Columbia). Both were letsrunners in high school. If you're really a student of the sport, it's likely you'll find the forums at some point. There is a ton of information on here. I think that population is overrepresented at Ivy League runners.

I think LetsRunners are 2.5 times more likely to have an advanced degree than the average population from traffic demographics I've seen.

I have a Ph.D. from Stanford and I read this site every now and then. Some of the more investigative threads are solid gold (e.g. the dentist, the dj, the brit).

Did you talk to them about how they stunk it up at USAs?

but how did they do in the contest

Um, no not there, I was accepted at four different Ivy League schools and didn't apply to either of those but good guess bro.

There are literally tens of thousands of people graduating with Ivy (or similar) degrees every year, of course more than a handful will visit letsrun.

Harvard? But of course there are! After all, the Ivy League was originally just that -- a football league. Nothing more, nothing less. At least one school refused to join because the emphasis on athletics took away from the educational side of campus life.

It's not an accident LRC was founded by two Ivy Leaguers. LRC, like the Mos Eisley space port in Star Wars, is "a wretched hive of pettiness and gossip." Ivy Leagues love gossip, the pettier, the better.

Why do you think there's so much hate for Nike & Oregon on here? Nike and Oregon are many things, but they aren't even remotely Ivy League. That's why Kate Grace is stuck in Sacramento: No Bonesmen in Beaverton!

Don't know much about history wrote:

Oh, she's getting stuck in Sacramento, alright. By a master "bonesmen:" Drew W. His former star is getting older and not getting top three any more at nationals, time for him to find younger blood and repeat his pattern.
