Luis Grijalva just ran 13:49

Andy Trouard has run 13:36

Matt Baxter has run 13:44

Geordie Beamish has run 13:53

Cory glines has run 13:58

Plus Peter Lomong who just ran 3:39 and finished 8th in XC. Could be 7 under by end of season

BYU had 6 guys under 14:00 during indoor this year and a seventh at 14:01. So yes, this has been done before, and very recently.

BYU had three guys under 8:45 in one heat of the steeple at Stanford- when has a single collegiate team ever done that!?

Blaise Ferro ran 13:51 during indoors as well

So they have 7 and could have 8 by end of season. That has to be a record. You are a sub 14 guy and are not fast enough to make the XC team.

This might tie into Soren Knudsen and his woes.

Probably Indiana in 2012

It's just a Coincidental Synchronicity™:

LetsRun.com Prediction:

Actual Reality (= not the fantasy world of rojo):

A year ago the Northern Arizona men finally broke through and won their first NCAA cross country title. Today, with a different coach guiding them (assistant coach Mike Smith took over for Eric Heins, who left the coaching profession after last year’s NCAA champs) the Northern Arizona men repeated as NCAA champions at the E.P. “Tom” Sawyer Park in dominant fashion. Led by a 2-3 finish by juniors Matthew Baxter and Tyler Day and a surprising eighth-place finish by fellow junior Peter Lomong, who was left off NAU’s championship squad last year, the Lumberjacks rolled to NCAA title #2 with 74 points.

The men’s team battle was expected to be a prize fight in Muhammad Ali’s hometown between #1 Northern Arizona and #2 BYU, a program looking for its first NCAA title. But this one was the equivalent of a 4th-round knockout, as at 4k NAU already led by BYU by 45 points and they’d go on to win by 63. The second-place team ended up being #4 Portland (127 points), who was perfect-scored by BYU at the WCC conference meet three weeks ago as it sat a few of its top runners, but was rewarded with its top finish ever, as BYU faded to third (165), with Stanford fourth (221 = Ha Ha Ha).

Ha Ha Ha

In 1982, UTEP had three guys run six sub 14 5000s in one race at Mt Sac.

When did Peter Lomong run 3:39?

I believe that Adams state & CU Boulder share the record for most sub 14 5ks in a season with 7 each

I guess that NAU can beat that this year.

Only three NAU guys have actually done it this season (Day, Grijalva and Beamish), but 5 more have the ability to do it.

I think that every XC championship team does this or comes close to it.

too lazy to research but this is what it takes wrote:

No. Having a sub 14 guy sit at home during NCAA because you already have 7 other sub 14 guys, has never been seen.

Oregon 1978 and '79 did.

Where did Peter run this supposed 3:39?

I'd have to look, but maybe some of the late 90s early 00s Stanford teams. Thinking back, their top 7 in '98 probably could have run sub 14.

This is hardly unprecedented. Teams like Stanford, BYU, and Portland could match them or even surpass them this year. What's so special about 14 minutes now? 13:50 is the new 14 minutes.

But BYU has guys going on mission trips this year...Troutner is coming but still.

Where can one find the NCAA stats for 1978 and 1979?

I call BS. I looked at the NCAA championship results for 1978 and 1979.

The only Oregon runner to finish in the top 8 was Rudy Chapa. Winning time in 1978 was 13:35 (Chapa) and 8th place was 13:57. I doubt very much that 7 other Oregon guys ran sub 14 that year AND none of them placed top 8.

Same in 1979. Winning time was 13:20 (Maree). Only top 8 Oregon runner was Chapa (2nd in 13:25). 8th place was 14:07. Again, what are the odds that none of the other 7 Oregon runners placed top 8?
