GLIAC Cross Country 2017

Correction:

There must have been issues with the results for Louisville yesterday. Woldemichael did race yesterday and placed second for GVSU in 24:30. Now they just need a healthy Panning.

Weak year in the gliac. Gv's 7th-14 could prob come close to perfect scoring this meet. This will definitely be the worst 2nd, 3rd, 4th place teams in years. Looks as if gv is the only team that will male ncaas this year.

What happened to panning? Is Fontana too fit too soon?

Panning had a boot on at MSU, no boot and running around at Louisville. Seems to be on the comeback trail, maybe racing at Lewis this week? GVSU has a wicked potential top-5 if he's healthy. Panning-Mach-Woldemichael-Fontana-Visser. Plus Sharnas and Selner. Probably still not enough ammo to edge Adams State, though.

Good to hear panning is alright.

Who is fontana?

Transfer from Adams. Made indoor and outdoor nats but wasn't relevant at either. Rumor is he's a peacock and Martin wouldn't let him spread his wings.

He didn't make Adams cross team last year. If he's that legit I have a hard time believing Adams just straight up released him.

Maybe I'm wrong, but as a coach I'd be a bit curious about what baggage a guy has who the best team in the country is just handing over to you after the guy broke 30 the season before.

They can't say he can't leave a school. He can go wherever

Now that's impressive.

I'll take a shot at predicting regionals too. After looking at the GMAC and GLVC results.

Also, the Astros will beat the Dodgers and the Detroit Lions will win the Super Bowl. Someday!
