The MIAC is down this year because the past three senior classes were really, really strong and there simply has not been much in the past couple incoming classes to replace what has been lost to graduation. This year's juniors would hold their own with the classes of 2008, 2009, or 2010, but the other three classes don't really have much talent (although it's too early to make a judgment about this year's freshmen). The dropoff will be more obvious when track comes around...my guess is that the 800 and mile/1500 will end up being about the same as always but the 3K, 5K, and 10K there will be a falloff.
