Great performance by Tayvon and Davin that last 5k, glad to see my cougs get an upset.
Right as the final regional is going final, we'll start a live stream at 2pm ET to tell you who is selected for NCAAs. You can access it here or on x or on facebook/instagram.

yes, but the men didn't, wasn't implying the women didn't, just saying that should never happen on either side.

Really strong performance from him. Looks like Stanford isn't making it this year (idk how at large quals work though), but if they're healthy next year (particularly Lex), they could be contending for a podium. I hadn't said that yet, but Leo is a 1500 guy, and Lex is a 10k guy, and they have at least 1 more year of XC. And besides the Youngs, most of their team is young.
Really exciting that Leo dropped a 3:35 as a sophomore over the summer, and now has taken a level up in XC. Ethan Strand did the same thing last year. That's not to say Leo is gonna run 3:30 this year (this run was great, but probably not top 10 at nattys great), but I'd bet he'll be a contender in the 15/mile/3k, and probably lop a few seconds from his pb.

Didn't know that L&L differed in main event. Obviously twins aren't the same in all ways, but you would think they'd be tuned to the same event in terms of genetics. Probably just comes down to preference

Only other person you could make an argument for is AJ Dybantsa

So biggest ranked upset is ranked 20 Tulsa not making it despite having a very tight pack. No low stick did them in. 21 Oklahoma being so close to them makes it not seem that big though.
Other than that, Boise State missing out due to the chaos in the west with their poor results elsewhere. They have a really solid top 4 that could have done damage at nationals.
I feel like in most years getting 4th in the west is enough to get you in, but not this year.

I wonder what Letsrun's comments would be about a female Kenyan who at, age 18, appeared to be in 14:20 shape. I believe the same is true

Bro the original comment only mentioned country so you assumed race
Bro, you mean the one below, Bro? Or do you mean the one before that which has since been deleted in which I said 15 points for the Kenyan team in the South Regional, Brol? Perhaps you should work on your critical reading, Bro. Nowhere was race mentioned, Bro. And as I said in a subsequent post, I would be saying the same if it were 10 white Canadians or 10 white Germans, Bro.
Why do you and people like you always look for something where there's nothing, Bro?

I'm really tired of this sh!t.Cut the crap. We know what you meant.

Fixed some missing results and now match up with collegexc.com, the women's field does look pretty likely set.

Great question. Who do we think would beat her?
Shelby? Cranny? Infeld? Andrews?
I think Jane would win now that you mention it.
Trump needs to make Jane H eligible for the U20 team, since she will still be 19. Only Americans should be exempt from the normal rules, as home country advantage. He needs to threaten Coe that he will be arrested if he comes to Florida otherwise (and be deported to El Salvador).

This is about as deranged as the posts from the guy that kept posting about when Jane would make her XC debut.

The projected women's field has a pretty messy tiebreak for spot #31 between Wake Forest, Michigan State, and Washington. My program at xcquals.com gives it to Washington. Michigan State eliminated on tiebreakers, Wake Forest eliminated on common opponents. I'm not confident I have enough season result data to rely on that common opponents call. Let's see what collegexc.com says.
32 in, collegexc.com has wake in
Right, I was thinking this would impact who gets spot #32. I think collegexc is right.

Men's field projections seem solid except possibly at spot #32. By xcquals and collegexc have Oklahoma beating Utah State on common opponents to get the last spot. Common opponents is messy, I wouldn't be sure until someone goes over those teams' results very carefully to make sure all the common opponents are accounted for. I know collegexc is very thorough, but it's hard to be sure.

I’m confused on how Louisville pushes in from 6th but Stanford doesn’t despite Stanford beating them handily at Nuttcombe and ACC’s?

Not convinced identical twins would speclize in the 1500 vs the 10km. Leo is mentally stronger in the 1500, than longer distances. If anything this should give him the confidence to run well in whichever event he chooses 1500-10km, no reason he can't run 27:5x like his twin.
That being said, awesome race by Leo, he could take down Colin at nationals. But will either beat Tavon Kitchen? Class of '23 running well with Simeon placing decent, and Rockey Hansen winning his regional

3rd and 3rd isn't bad for NAU, but while the women's side were building up to a top level under Smith in his last years there, the men are definitely on the downslope with none in the top ten and third a 2nd year in a row (but last year they had a surprisingly good finish at nationals), after a long time of winning or getting second. The proof is really going to be in their results at nationals, assuming they made it.
