FormerFriar, and you are correct, I respect that, until proven otherwise Nova belongs where they are.
But a LOT of teams do NOT have two sub 4 minute guys, in fact what two do? In the Big East?They almost have 3 if you count how close McKenzie is.
Now, that may not translate to great cross for all, but you also have a NZ Nat Champ in cross, same race Hamish Thorpe won, Guest who is a GREAT XC runner and has already run 14:13 as a HS'er.
I would say those will translate nicely.
well they have max who's run 3.55 1600 and hayden mclaren whos run 4.05 equivalent so if you take the average...haha just kiddin....
i hear what your sayin...let be honest though....noone really has a clue...i would say this is the deepest year ever in terms of who could win..
its always been the regulars nd, pc, gtown and nova...now you throw 'cuse and loiuville into the mix for the first time ever and its gonna be the deepest feild ever assembled..
I for one am pretty excited for this race....I'm just pissed that its in loiuville so i cant watch it..

Should be an exciting meet...I can't believe
it's in L'ville Kentucky?
Hopefully all 6 teams will make it to Nat's.
G'twn, ND. PC and L'ville(?) should get by on Auto's
Nova and 'Cuse may need to generate som at large points throughout the year.
You're an idiot... have you even been to Louisville are you just assuming it is a sh*thole because it's in Kentucky?
He's saying that cuz its so far away, all the other schools are close to the northeast, chill your pits
PrideXC has it...just about every team will have to fly to
the meet. As long as Conf. is picking it up and nobody else is complaining I'm sure it will work out. Ron Mann
knows what he's doing.
I actually have been there...spent a week there one day.
Actually, you have 7 of the 16 teams that are within 400 miles of Louisville, which means they would most likely drive: Cincinnati, Depaul, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and West Virginia. That means 9 teams will have to fly to Louisville. Last year the Big East was in Boston. The 7 teams mentioned above had to fly to Boston, in addition to South Florida, for a total of 8 teams flying last year. So having the meet in Louisville instead of Boston only adds one more team having to fly.
Updates please.

Marquette -- No coach, could be a mess
MU hired a coach.
