Is Oregon going to race this season?

They raced Oregon XC Preview on Sept 6 and Bill Dellinger Invitational on Sept 21

I think Oregon is racing at Pre Nat's look for Oregon at least the Women to win going away. Oregon is 6 deep New Mexico 3 deep now Colorado could give Oregon a run for it money at NCAA's but I doubt it. GO DUCKS

Haven’t seen any results. Why are they “ducking” the competition? Hiding because they don’t have much or laying low for a SHOCKER at NATTY’S????

Are you stupid?

I hear the Oregon team is gonna sit out this year to protest the white quail duck being endangered from over hunting

I guarantee you New Mexico's 4th will beat Oregon's 6th at nationals.

I am confused...if New Mexico's 4th beats Oregon's 6th what difference does that make? Wouldn't it be more pivotal for her to beat Oregon's 4th and 5th? Because if she doesn't beat those two but only beats the sixth the team outcome will be highly unfavorable for NM right?

I think Oregon 6th will beat New Mexico 4th at NCAA's I mean right now Oregon 5th was 16th at NCAA last year and Oregon 6th has faster 5 and 10 K's then Oregon 1 as PR's and Oregon one last year was 5th at NCAA's. Flotrack is sleeping on Oregon it's ok they always do. Now that Oregon has good coaches watch out. Just wait 8-9 days until Pre Nationals to find out :) GO DUCKS

It was in relation to the comment that "Oregon is 6 deep New Mexico 3 deep". I'm saying that I don't agree with that statement because NM's 4th will beat Oregon's 6th.

Yeah even me being a duck fan I realize that is a bit of stretch and know that New Mexico's 4th will finish before whomever Oregon's 6th will be on that day. I don't think New Mexico's 4th is bad I just think she went out too hard at Nuttycomb last week on top of the fact that she doesn't have much of a XC base this year having raced on the track back in mid August. Going out more conservatively and more fitness as the season goes on I imagine she will be just as good if not better than Colorado and Oregon's 4th. But NMs problem is their 5th and 6th runners right now don't appear to be able to be top 50 in a stacked race.

I don't disagree. I'm confident New Mexico's steeple transfer will improve. I've no idea if whoever finishes 5th for them will improve, but they need to, a lot.

Update from pre nats....

NM 4th 20:35

Oregon 6th 21:12

Based on Pre Natty’s Oregon women looking like a top 3 team with a possible SHOCKER FTW. Oregon men definitely top 5 potential with possible top 3.

Bump this when it happens.
