Monty Burns, no way Fredonia can challenge SLU, NYU, or Geneseo this year. It wont happen. Who said they might have the best one-two punch? That is just ignant. I don't know how deeply you have to dive into dream land to even begin to consider that a possiblity. I just thought I'd try to do my part to slow the Fredonia love train. It was getting slightly out of control.
RIT hate? Doesn't Hardbarger have their school 3k record? I mean, he's going to be good. His 5k and 3k compare well to Tom W's don't they? I think two 31:30 10k guys will dust most good 800 runners any day of the week in a 8k. All Burdick needs to do it control his quick starts and I think he will fair much better in xc.
Is Eddie the same person as Navaro? If so, 15:06 is a good 5k; good for him. However, there are plenty of guys who have run that fast. There are also plenty of people who don't come close to that in track and run well in xc. Jake Malcomb comes to mind.
The battle for 5th looks good on paper. With that said, as far as I'm concerned, the top 4 teams (Cortland, Geneseo, SLU, and NYU), baring injury, might as well be in a different race.
