Okay. Here are my predictions for each of the mens' race.
Blue Race
Individual Winner: Robert Cheseret
Top 5 Finishers: Robert Cheseret, Seth Pilkington, Andrew Lemoncello, Wesley Korir, Scott Overall
Winning Team: Colorado
White Race
Individual Winner: Josh McDougal
Top 5 Finishers: Josh McDougal, Josh Rohatinsky, Nef Araia, Patrick Smyth, "Lamong, Lopez" (2nd place at Griak from Northern Arizona)
Winning Team: Stanford
Open Race
Individual Winner: no idea
Top 5 Finishers: no idea
Winning Team: no idea
I know I went with safe picks for who would win each race, but for the blue race, Colorado's closest competitor would be Arizona, but if Colorado runs this race like they did last year, they'll be treating it like it's NCAA's and really go for the win. I know that sounds lame because why wouldn't they want to go for the win, and I say to that, they're going to be running their top guys, which is usually only reserved for races that they feel they must win, so they're treating Pre-Nat's like it's a race that they must win. I think a lot of teams will be right on their heels though.
As for the white race, there really isn't a team there that can compete with Stanford. Notre Dame only has a few guys would could compete with Stanford's top 5, but other than that, maybe Florida, maybe Northern Arizona,maybe BYU. That's my 2 cents.
