NAU left Theo Quax and Blaise Ferro at home. Grijalva has officially made the leap to low-stick stud. Corey Gorgas was their 3rd guy today as if they needed more depth, helped them survive sub-par races from Bosley and Hasty.
Oklahoma State is for real.
BYU comes down to something like 45 points if you factor in Shumway, so they're right there as well. Looks like they had a couple guys in the back end of their lineup struggle a bit the last 2k.
Here's what the scoring would look like if Shumway is counted as BYU and Colorado is scored as a team:
NAU 47
BYU 53
OSU 56
COL 85
March Nationals should be exciting
Oklahoma men are an EMBARRASSMENT.
They averaged 27:09. Literally more than 3 minutes per person slower than NAU and OK State.
I've never even heard of Oklahoma Christian but they dominated Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma women were horrendous too. 24:06 team average is slower than a 20 min 5k. Pathetic.
The BYU women dominated the rest of the field winning easily with 22 points to Southern Utah's 62.

Any top 7 runners for either squad just not run today?
The bigger question is Clayson Shumway. Is he back "on the road again" (there's a song there somewhere) in his Hyundai Accent driving west back to Provo??

Lexy Halladay impressive debut as #3/6th overall
Shouts out to Herrera for making a huge jump to lead the Colorado men!
Extremely fast, competitive men's race - that course is very difficult, at least as I recall it (mid 90s calling here..).. A 'true' X-country course with hills, soft terrain and unpredictable footing. Anything around 24 minutes or sub is truly excellent. For the winner to have run 23.30 is extremely impressive.
Since altitude really matters, BYU and NAU will probs be top 2 at NCAAs on the same course in March. Expect Colorado to be in better shape by then too. OSU have a shot at the podium, which is really very impressive for a non-altitude team.
And it must be said - what has happened to OU/Okla U? Those are shocking times from a D1 team (both men's and women's). Coach needs firing.
Also, why can't anyone post videos of the race on You Tube, live? In this day and age, with everyone having a good camera phone to hand and drones, it wouldn't take a huge amount to get some footage. Ask a media studies student or two to do it...really, it doesn't take much to get these things posted.
It really is embarrassing. If I were an OU alum I would be very concerned.
No. The entire course now a golf Green. They spent $10m upgrading it. Better footing than running on a golf course.
Twitter with some video and interviews
Flotrack has the entire race video. They always have the content that I want. You cheapskates should breakdown and splurge.

As amazing as BYU, NAU, and OK State are, OU is by far the most amazing. 27:09 for 8k? Any NXN-level Hs team would demolish that!

Any high school team with 3 guys sub 10 in the 3200 would demolish that

Really? What a shame.
As bad as they are, they would be a mid pack team in the SEC.

You're obviously not paying attention to what competition looks like in the SEC right now
Auburn, Vandy, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU. Oklahoma would hold its own.
