Casey Clinger has to be 30 or 31.

Actually I think Clinger & Bons are both in their 30s. They graduated from high school at least 12 years ago.

The cool thing about BYU is that they don't even try to bring in 1 international athlete to boost their team. I don't know of anyone who they even brought in as transfers.

Everyone is recruited out of high school, mostly from UTAH, and then developed over time.

When the women had a bad year last year, they didn't panic and try to bring in transfers and internationals to get back to the top. They simply just put in WORK to improve.

That’s because BYU knows trying to recruit international students would be a waste of time. There aren’t many elite Mormon runners outside of the US.

I don't think it's that. I think people are still kind of upset about OSU's 80% foreign team dominating last year and this is a reaction to that. Most of the NAU teams were at least 60% American so the foreigners weren't seen as a problem. I think the reaction would be similar if the 100% foreign Providence women won.

Umn that's because it's in USA and nobody else outside US cares about it or even knows what ncaa means.
