Where is borowsky nowadays?

Jail?

How many did WashU lose last year? They had a solid team, but I can't remember how many were seniors.

O'Gara and one or two others were seniors, but I was told by a guy who heard from another guy that O'Gara had eligibility left and was considering a 5th year. I cannot confirm whether or not he will be back.

O'Gara has transferred to Williams for his 5th year of eligibility.

Yup, can confirm this. Additionally, Johnsrud went with him. So now it's 1500m guy Mattyoochie leading the Bears - looks like a rebuilding year.

I get occasional news from Central since I have a cousin that runs there. Apparently he has a stress fracture in his right metatarsal, I assume he must be doing all the rehab sh*t, zero- G treadmill, the pool, etc... I wouldn't count him out though, still a great contender and has plenty of fight in him. Tough as nails!!

As a fellow Vermonter, I have to put my money on Brunnete as well.

I think many people overlook the northeast guys, some good talent coming from that region.

North Central without a shadow of doubt, will take the team title for the men.

However, for the individual win I have Sam Brunnete. I watched him run a dirty steeple and after seeing that have a feeling he will put Patel and Borowsky to sleep. Goodnight.

You mean the New England region? or the northeast in general? There's only one title contender from the northeast, and it's definitely not a guy with a 14:41 PR. Patel and OConnor can run that back to back

Is he still on the team?

I can confirm this as well as confirm that O'Gara and Kirby are both returning for a 5th year so essentially they will be losing no one.

Houlihan? More like WHO-lihan. Give me more of Emily Richards on the front page.

The last ten posts or so seem to all be contradicting each other.

Pretty strong showing by North Central guys at Bix 7 today.

Always thought it was pretty neat that NCC brings so many guys to this race every summer. Obviously weather on a single day in July can play a big factor, but does anyone know how these times from the NCC squad compare to their prior teams?

Looking over the results (and trying to remember names from their prior teams), it's pretty typical for them to have guys in the 36s (even very good runners like Spain). But at least back to the late 90s, I think there have only been a few sub 36 performances. Unless I'm missing someone, Patel seems to have run substantially faster than anyone they've had recently. It would be interesting to see what guys from their dominant mid/early 90s teams did.

2017

- O'Keefe 35:57

2015

- Plank 35:44

2013

- T. Hird 35:36

2004

There's a few teams that bring a good amount of runners to the Bix. Loras had a large of runners show up as well. I saw quite a few Wartburg guys as well

More NCC runners than just that:

27. Pommier 36:16

Several others finishing at 37+

Most people probably haven’t seen the course. I would give 33 minutes a 28 10k on the track. 35 convert to 29:30, 36 convert to 30, and 37 convert to 31 minutes.
