2018/19 D3 Atlantic Region Track Thread

SUNYAC fans, where would you rank Peyton Lalone among all time great (modern, DIII era) SUNYAC sprinters?

My personal rankings:

Top tier, Hall of famers, best of the best.

-Stefon Mascoll, Cortland. World Championship qualifier (6.7 60m)

-Amaan Siddeeq, Cortland (10.3 100m, multiple NCAA championships)

-Willie Hordge, Buff State. Could have been an all time USA great, but got fat. Still ran pretty fast at Buffalo.

-Justin Allen, Buff state. Ran a couple years for Buffalo, 47.low 400m, transferred to Baylor. Not sure if he got faster.

-Sean Bernstein, Oneonta. (20.8 200m), multiple NCAA titles.

-Sure I'm missing a ton, but these are the ones who came to mind

2nd tier, Hall of great

-Gino Bisceglia, Cortland. The big guy who looked like a thrower but ran like a deer. 47.5 400m

-Melique Garcia, Cortland. 10.3/21.4. Currently running "professionally"

-Eric Theiss, Oneonta. Seemed to injured a lot, but a beast when healthy. High 47 400m runner.

-I would place Lalone here. As a soph he's already ran 21.9 on a flat indoor track. By the time he graduates I predict he'll be at 10.mid and 20.high.

I'm biased as I ran in the SUNYAC a little less than 10 years ago.

What does everyone else think?

What are you all-time distance runner rankings?

Mitch Ryan and Anthony Perri

Mostly agree. I wasn't in the sunyac but i followed it closely from another conference.

Hordge was highest talent of recent times but what did he have, 1 season?? Otherwise I think Sideeq and Bernstein. I don't remember all these athletes but Joe Carr should be up there, he had success in 100/200/400 but seemed to peak as a sophomore with 47.2 400. He should prob be tier 1.

Until Peyton is a qualifier or conference champion, I don't think he's on the list yet. There's been a ton of 21.50 to 22 second guys over the last few years from every school. Brockport had some good guys a few years ago, Cortland has always done well and had another good one around the garcia era, Oneonta had good ones with Joe Reed, Bernstein, Carr (they whooped us). O'Bryant could be in the list after this season, 6.79 last season. Buff St always has sprinters and relays. Geneseo keeps getting better and had a 48 second freshman last year. Not as familiar with Fredonia and Plattsburgh. 1 fast season doesn't put you on a list. All-Americans and championships should. It'll be exciting to see where this guy ends up though.

Yo Geneseo boys,

What’s the tfrrs conversion for wearing a headband around your neck vs not wearing one at all?

Predicted team finishes:

1. Bortland for the ez dub with field events and sprints. Since Genny lost the legendary IGC and have tons of guys from cross not showing up.

2. Genny- still a strong team in general and will get the main dept of points in events(specifically distance/midd).

3. Oney- decent mid-tier team, w some decent distance, throws, and sprints.

4. Crockport on the rise still not there yet.

5. .... Irrelevant

Geneseo's distance(not counting the 800) doesn't look as strong as normal. They have McAneny and that's about it. They will underwhelm at SUNYACs.

Yes Cortland will win easy. Brockport throws will cancel out Oneonta's distance so 3-4 is probably a toss up.

The rest of the conference is abysmal.

Geneseo with a strong showing at BU in the mile. They should be able to put about four guys on the podium at the conference meet, assuming that their times don't get converted for wearing headbands around their necks. Is it supposed to be a choker? or maybe a dog collar? I guess Dan Moore takes keeping his athletes on a leash quite literally.

scrolled thru the BU results and saw jake dinerman of "moody park" slash TCNJ top dude ran 4:08 in the mile.

WTF is going on there?? did he quit the team? that's a big problem for them if true

ya gotta graduate sometime fam

That kid was a freshman in 2012, how the hell does he still have eligibility??? He’s gotta be what, 25?

Looking at TFFRS this would be his 4th indoor season (12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 18-19) in 7 years (did not race indoors 15-16, 16-17, 17-18). To say he has a season of eligibility is correct, but its 7 years? How is there no rule against that?

There is no age restriction in D3, but you get 10 semesters to complete 8 semesters of eligibility.

If you play at a Division II or III school, you have the first 10 semesters or 15 quarters in which you are enrolled as a full-time student to complete your four seasons of competition. You use a semester or quarter any time you attend class as a fulltime student or are enrolled part-time and compete for the school. You do not use a term if you only attend part-time with no competition or are not enrolled for a term.

But it's Buff St so you know they are doing something sketchy.

If you think that’s crazy look up Greg Thomas from eastern... dude’s like 30 something still running

Oneonta and Brockport will break up this weaker Geneseo team for points in distance. Without sweeping most of the distance events Geneseo wont stand a chance. Brockport is looking very well balanced and they are my favorite to win. Cortland is also looking good but they wont score enough in the distance events to really have a shot.

1. Brockport

2. Cortland

3. Geneseo

4. Oneonta

5. Buffalo State

6. Plattsburgh

7. Oswego

8. Fredonia

9. Potsdam

Oh man, abysmal year for SUNYAC distance. You guys wanna start talking about Liberty League where the real action is?

Ithaca and RPI will compete for the win. RIT will come in 3rd. Rochester 4th, SLU 5th, Union 6th

Ithaca and RPI will be very close. RIT could also compete for the win but the distance needs to show up. What happened to SLU?
