Here's betting Sigl will try for both the mile and 5k at indoor nationals. He'll get second in both with Kosgei taking the mile and Erichsen getting the 5k. The WIAC will have 3 of the top 8 in the 5k with Sigl, Kaul, and Zdroik. It will take below 14:40 to even qualify. UW-Whitewater will win the DMR with Kehoe leading off and Butzler on the anchor. La Crosse for the team title.
Please. They won't finish higher than 4th at UAA, Indoor or Outdoor. You can't win many meets when you don't get any points in 75% of the events.

LaCrosse should win the team title. 80 slush heads with "introduction to ankle taping" as their hardest class have a lot of time to train.
I can see 3-4 in the top 8 in the 5k coming from the WIAC...You are right about sigl and zdroik, kaul, and you never can count out moran. But i don't think sigl will lose to kosgei in the mile, i think it will come down to butzler and sigl, and butzler will probably win. In the 5k, however i think sigl will take it. Also your going with whitewater winning the DMR? What about osh kosh, defending national champs in that event, and also stevens point putting together a good team. I think the WIAC will have 3 AA teams in the DMR also, and hopefully 4 that qualify...
As for LAX not being a good school, do some research cuz they are harder to get into than some of the other WIAC schools and every other D2 school out there.

How about Nazareth's Nick Stenuf ...
I like Stenuf in the 800 too and I think it'd be even better to see him in the mile or 3000. Nazareth has an underdog's shot at making a DMR team too with him, Epstein, Sirtoli, and a nameless 400m guy.
Sigl is my pick in the distance events but it would be good to see him and Kosgei go at it in a 10k outdoors - I think that'd be the best distance to match them up at.
Most people in D3 don't realize that Hordge was the most highly recruited sprinter in the country his senior year in HS. He graced the cover of T&F News when he anchored the JR. National 4X1 team that broke the JR. World Record.
He started of at Arkansas for a few weeks and ended up at a JUCO. How he ended up at Buffalo Sate is mind blowing. He is definately the most talented sprinter in D3 this year.
Slowest time to get into the race?
Yeah and if Buffalo State can get him a little help in the sprints, they might be a factor in the 4x1 and 4x4 as well...

I believe that Hordge moved to Buffalo prior to enrolling at Buff State. He has some family in the area and I think he is a permanent resident there now.
While I know NYU has not placed well at UAAs, and I am not sure how high they will finish at nationals this year. I think it is bullshit to say they could not do it, or that you can not do it with just a distance team. It is very possible to lose your conference meet and still podium at nationals if your guys are not just the top in a few events in your conference, but also at the top of the ranks in the country which, NYU's distance guys are (i think they showed that this weekend yes?).
Furthermore, look at Amherst's Women last spring. 4th place I believe, and only one race below 800 meters with a scorer....hmm seems like NYU could podium. That being said they lose their top miler, and their top 800 meter guy has been abroad all fall. Also they lose their top placer in the 5k last year 2 of these 3 were on their championship xc team.
I guess we should wait and see, but no need to bust their balls after they just won a national title at xc's
I think Hany will win every event from the 800 to the 10k outdoors. He is just on such a higher level than any one else in D3. Did you guys know that he is going to be an olympian? I almost feel bad for everyone else running, but it's not Hany's fault he is just that good.
sounds like the same DBag that thought brandon moen was going to run under 14 minutes for 5k. Oh wait your even more insane than that..Anyways I don't think kosegie could touch sigl in a 10k outdoors but that just me, he better just focus on the steeple, he's going to have enough to worry about with erichson and zdroik on his heels.
zdroik runs the steeple?
Yes I think Whitewater will win the DMR. Kehoe will be just as fast, if not faster, than whoever SP and Oshkosh have for the 1200, and the 400 and 800 are too short for any serious seperation to occur. Then I wouldn't put it past Butzler to be able to split around 4:05 anchoring (remember it's a 1600 with a running start, and he'll most likely be chasing people). Nobody else has anyone that could do anything close to that. But I agree, the WIAC will have at least 3 All American DMR teams, with 4 being likely.
who's the 4th your thinking of?
and oh yes Zdroik does, a few years ago he ran 9:11 and last year he only got down to around 9:20 if i remember, he was battling injuries all outdoor season last year...
UW-SP got jipped last year. They will definately be back with a vengeance. So thats UW-LaX , Oshkosh, UWW, and UWSP. Matt Kramer for the win in the indoor 800. If Obrian doubles he won't have nething left for that last 800.

What about BUTZLER? He's SERIOUSLY got a lot of LEG SPEED.
Don't forget Alex Ramon of Occidental as well. He ran 9:01 for third last year and still managed to get 15th at XC Nationals (his second race) despite missing almost the entire season due to injury.
I don't know how you can't make Butzler the favorite in the 1500. He did run 4:08, and 3:47 last year, and gave will leer the only challenge he had from a d3 guy all year. And even though he was only 20th at xc, it was still an improvement from last year.
Sigl in the 5 and 10k. I don't even think he pushed that hard at xc nationals and stomped Kosgei.
deter from mount union. he is sick
