The Offficial 2024 NCAA D1 XC Championship Thread

Right and barnett was their 7th I think. But ND and UT must be very disappointed. Well done by top 3.

BYU 14th last year to 1st this year.

I need to start worshipping God. Carried Cole Hocker across the finish, helped all of Ed Eyestone’s runners do well at the Olympics, and now he’s carried BYU to a win.

Are we going to pretend that seeing these age cheating, doping Kenyans win was fun? Are we acting like the coaching or team makes any difference? These semi-pro girls were just brought in to win whilst doing joke degrees.

No fun in watching that. Joke.

Stanford in 6th with none

ESPN was as bad or worse than whatever you saw. I watched it. Ads galore. "Artistic rendering of women's XC meet"

Wow Providence! Huge race. Looking at the roster, every single athlete from overseas. Mostly UK.

You've clearly never learned a second language. Its a lot easier reading and listening than it is speaking a new language.

Baloga and Congdon each dropped over 30 spots late in the race. Most others were steady or near steady. You would expect late-race strength, coming from altitude, but I think it can be easy to overcompensate and start too hard based on trust in your fitness (until you've done the altitude to sea level jump many times). It happens.

They might have been the only team not running a Senior today. 2 So, 1 Jr, 4 F. Next 2 years looking real promising

Lmao I'm going to a coaching clinic where diljeet is the keynote speaker and I wonder if she's just going to talk about letting god do the work

You’re correct that BYU athletes are older, but I wouldn’t call Utah a doping backwater.

Remember "Gas, Gas, Gas" ?

Were you?

Providence hasn’t recruited an American since 1967.

Loll. But this was less BYU than usual.

The first 3k of this race was not terribly fast

She must be bored living in Provo. She should take over at UCLA.
