2016 NESCAC Cross Country

hahaha bates lost to bowdoin! imagine having to go back to LEWISTON after that!

This thread is useless without race pics. Who has them?

A video of the finish can be found on the NESCAC facebook page.

What does this video tell us about the future?

If Silas Eastman was fit and race ready, it would have been a different story out there.

If Steven Lucey ran like Purple Valley, if Peter Hale had been healthy, if Middlebury hadn't graduated Sebastian Matt. The race was run as it was.

Tufts is a much worse version of the 2012 Bowdoin team. Good lord. How can they be that bad after going 1-2? I'm only half-joking--how is this possible?

It's the curse of the one and only, Ethan Barron! Those pachyderms just can't put it together!!!

Photos show Eastman's shoe came off in the first mile of the race. The fact he even finished the race confirms his beast status. If his foot is okay I'd imagine they'll toss him in regionals

Not pertinent.

Or whataboutery.

Eastman at full strength is # 2 to Chelimo and then you have Kibet and Gagnon.....Colby a possible winner.

Everyone needs to shut up.

No one is a possible winner. The race is over.

Williams got the job done without Peter Hale. They are the best team.

Amherst didn't get the job done despite having their full line up and having a crap 5th man.

Tufts and Midd both ran their best races of the season. No one appears to be able to close that drop off between Nichols & O'Connor for Tufts. Midd has a great pack, but no front runner.

Colby tried and failed on their home course. They are a good team, but Eastman is a non-factor. He is not at full strength. That is unfortunate, but it's not September anymore and we can cut all the "possible" situations.

See you at westfield.

The real question is if you could be anyone in the nescac who would you choose?

5. Jamie Norton - so I could stoke my ego every time that my name appears on these boards.

4. A Tufts dad - see above reason

3. Either of the two Hawkins bros - roses are red, violets are blue, cole's face is red, so is reid's too

2. Tully - beer mile extraordinaire

1. The real B Scheetz - NESCAC GOAT

All-New England predictions. Go!

I think Tim Nickles will be on the All-New England team.

The team battle is pretty close this year. I only see 5 teams max advancing, probably Williams, Amherst, Colby, MIT, and Middlebury. If those are the teams that get top 5 I see the individuals being Nichols, O'Connor, Jones, Bosworth, Dudek, Kilgore, and Stender. The other Brandeis guy, Aschale, top three Bowdoin guys, and Scott will be close.

Conspicuous lack of Williams or Amherst runners in your post.

Have we forgotten that Mo is still good?

Ben Decker exists.

Hale is better than all those guys minus Nichols.

Cosmo has only moved up since September.

They will all be All-Region.

Believe he was talking about individual qualifiers.

You're pretty dumb for someone who probably is attending (or had attended) one of those two schools. My guess is Williams.
