I don't think this really proves much. Rowan is speed/power dominated and those athletes still compete at the regional ahead of NCAA's. Programs like Geneseo or RPI aren't racing their distance athletes the week before NCAAs. Regionals is a last chance meet and doesn't mean as much. I can guarantee you Utica and Ithaca aren't the top 3 and 4 best teams in this region.
How about this

While Rowan did have a lot of their guys compete indoor, outdoor a bunch of their National qualifiers didn’t compete and still won easily. I’m sure none of the teams that are Top 10 NCAA teams really care about winning the regional some just are much deeper.
