D3 midwest region

I think the WIAC should just go ahead and split off from the rest of the Midwest and form its own region to make things more fair. Although 6 in the top 30 still isn't that fair.

Are any Wisconsin schools d2? Seems like they could even out their divisions

no there is not

moran was there 3 guy at their last race

UW Parkside is.

I think it'd take an off day from NCC to get beat by lax this year, considering even if Vincent and Moran run where you are predicting them to, Them plus their number 1, still aren't going to score less points than Spain, Brady, and Hird, (12th, 30th, and 41st I believe last year, and much improved this year) then after that NCC's depth will hold up.

well in that case they'll definitely win.

But, as I think someone else said earlier, Calvin was running without their #1 runner, Jess Koster, who I would say is in the running for a top 10 spot at nats.

Conference meets this weekend North Central will continue there dominance of the CCIW, winning handily. A very good Augustana team will follow. WIAC should be a bit more interesting with Point challenging LAX and Oshkosh and Plattville battling, one of those teams (unfairly) will probably get left home from Nationals. Wilhelmy and Spain respectively... Any thoughts on individuals beyond that?

Watch out for Andy Ashenden of Concordia(WI) on the men's side for an individual to be up there. He ran 25:36 two weeks ago and is going to be better than that Saturday.

Can all 5 teams that make it get into the top 10 this year?

alright kids. regionals is two days away. at this point, all hay has been placed in the barn. that said, anyone have any inside info on injuries, sicknesses, or otherwise that we fans should know about going into regionals? has swine flu run rampant across stevens point? is it true that zach wilhelmy came down with a nasty case of the herp? did rick witt hit mike spain with a golf cart...again? these are just some things that have been going around the rumor mill. anyone care to verify or deny or add to this list?

I heard that North Central is going to run the first mile backwards just to see if they can still make it.

NCC goes 1,2,4,5,8 or so to win the region. Also, NCC's 6th and 7th were around 15th.
