Interviewed Mike Von Borstel and reviewed his splits to double check his claims... He was dead even on each mile split... If the course was short it would have had to have a short mile in there... Clearly didn't, so I am going to say my google map calculation was pretty spot on.

I heard a rumor that Jib just walked the 4.8 mile Friday power-session in an unheard of 42 minutes. Anyone know if this is true? That's an all-timer mark if so.
Cannot confirm or deny this information. Lets just say the list is being thrown away.
The course was wheeled to be 250 meters short using the tangents. It's safe to add ~40 to 45 seconds to some of those times.
Ahh, can't wait until after the UWEC invitational when UW-L get's their behinds kicked by St Olaf, UWEC, and Central College. Then maybe they'll focus on training rather than the Lets Run boards and beer pong.
Maybe the 2009 team could have.
Lets just talk about the Flotrack ratings real quick, NCC should be way lower than #3. I still don't think that they have proven anything just yet
But honestly, those flo rankings are embarrassing to Saucony and Flotrack. NCC should be #1 at the moment. Maybe Olaf will earn #1 back once everyone is running, but to put NCC below both Olaf and UWEC is absurd based on recent results.
You and I both wish that those LAX boys were playing beer pong like the good ol' days. From what I hear its a lot of clashing clans, world of butt craft, and yanking each other off while their coach pulls a training plan out of his booty crack.
Rumor mill has it lax's big boys aren't even running at "eau brodeux" so don't get those panties in a bundle when they have 8 kids go >28 min.
Looks like the WIAC is losing or has already lost its "best conference" title. 5 in the top 35 while NESCAC has 6. The era is over!...? Then again it is just rankings....
Another huge issue I see with the FLotrack rankings is why does Horton stay at #2, he got 7th overall and was the 4 man on his team. Even if he wasn't racing it, bad performance by him.
Looks like they all got really drunk and just decided to post rankings based on Griak. Nice work Flotrack
why on God's green earth is UW-La Crosse ranked #2?! In front of North Central??
where are you seeing this?
FloTracks NCAA XC ratings. Right on the Cross Country tab on their homepage.

They are very obviously not updating their DIII rankings
Can anyone confirm the rumors that the course for this week's Blugold Invitational was rerouted and subsequently shortened by .15K due to heavy rain?

Nothing to that effect has been stated by UW-EC. However, if it were so stated, it would be prudent not to think that times are indicative of actual performances, and instead to focus on the placing of runners relative to their competition.
Just sayin'.
Not true.
How short will Paul Short be this year?
