Bati looked smooth as ever running conversational pace while Turlington held on for dear life for most of the race. Race got out slow because Oles were running “controlled” whatever that means and La Crosse was doing some sort of pack workout. Chunko told us the course is 80 meters long, so hard to know what to make of times. Course was in decent shape.
Several Oles didn’t finish and their lack of depth showed today. They are likely the top MIAC school, but that margin is thin and they shouldn’t be ranked. The La Crosse B team would have beat the Oles if Chunko would have scored them. I’m not sure that’s legal, but let him claim any victory he can get. And if they are going to host this much they need to find a better timing company. Way too many errors for such an expensive meet and they need a better playlist.
