How did that happen? I knew Mines was good but I thought this was a strong Adams team? They were dominated!

Wow their B squad really stepped up!

This is Colorado School of Mines deepest team ever.

RMAC is tough. Adams will get it together by Nationals. Congratulations to Mines.

This was not Adams State’s B team was it? Gidibuday and Adams did not run but the rest did or am I missing someone?

Obviously Adams didn't even attempt to run hard. Running a hard 8000m, 4 weeks before nationals is just way too demanding. They should probably all walk around in walking boots to make sure they don't get stress fractures walking to class. Oops, I forgot it's Adams State, they don't have to attend class. http://www.9news.com/news/education/adams-state-university-on-probation/76201077

No B team as I can see, three returners and a couple other top runners

Gedyon JR - 13th at Paul Short

Ramirez SR - 9th at NCAA 2016

Powell SR - 19th at Fort Hays

Kelly SR - 140th at Paul Short

Joseph SO - 37th at NCAA 2016

Graham SR - 15th at Fort Hays

Robb FR - 22nd at Fort Hays

Anaya SR - 9th 1500 Outdoor

Reid SR - 29th at NCAA 2016

We haven't seen Gidubuday yet this season, rumor is he's out on injury otherwise I bet we'd have seen him today.

My mistake, first runner was 4th, second was 14th

Actually the results did not originally have Gedyon in 4th, hence the original 4th place overall ranking for Adams

Word is he's in a boot. Info from a friend who has him on snapchat or some social media site. Stressy? Maybe just cautionary, but I hope he can make it back. Great talent!

Mines were fantastic this weekend, simply the better team on the day. They also ran deep in the open race which was impressive! Adams didn't bring it, no excuses. Sydney is fit and healthy and should debut at Regionals in two weeks from what I've heard. Should be another great match up between Mines and Adams.

Adams doesn't care about conference. They show up at nationals every year, including this one. They put all 5 runners inside the top 17. People don't learn and Adams keeps winning!

Very few people posted so that means very few people care or that "people" do learn. Go back to finish your online class at that extended stay high school.

ADAMS STATE UNIVERSITY ON PROBATION

The Higher Learning Commission has placed Adams State University, located in Alamosa, on probation.

March, 2016

The reason Adams State was put on probation is because of problems with its on-line courses. Hopefully those problems have been fixed by now, but in any event, they are quite unrelated to the track and cross country program, which has been winning National Championships on a regular basis (we’ve won 54) since the 70’s, well before on line courses even existed.

Mines is an outstanding academic school and their cross country program is doing a fine job. Congratulations on winning the RMAC and getting third place at Nationals.

If they had online classes the year I was there, I wouldn't have had to walk clear across campus to an 8 am class when it was 42 below.

You are correct.

There is no connection between running for Adams State while Adams State is on Academic Probation.

Athletics at Adams State is not connected to the academics of Adams State. Got it.

I see what you did there.

I hope flotrack comes back for track! I want to see what they do differently, because most other programs do not have the same track speed over 3k-10k. Maybe CSM will be up there this year!
