Heps XC 2025 Predictions

I think it would be Yale’s year to pull it off if they are going to due to the number of upperclassmen.

I love your optimism but it’s not going to happen. Ever. 0.001 % chamce Yale wins. Sad man Yale should be better but they are not committed to winning in any sports

I had Chatgpt score the individual runners listed on the coaches association new XCRI scoring system. Here are the men's results (It didn't take out like Princeton's 8-9-10, etc.).

I didn't check to see if they made anything up.

Places: 3, 5, 7, 18, 33 → Total = 66
