Athletes who cut the course and should have been DQ'd at 7.5-7.7k:
Messaoudi - OSU
Kipkosgei - Hofstra
Chesondin - Arkansas
Kipruto - Alabama
Kogei - Cincinatti
2 Iowa State Runners
Considering OSU's fifth was 105th place, if Messaoudi gets DQed that would significantly impact the results. Would be wild if OSU was presented the trophy and interviewed on ESPN and then New Mexico wins
outside the lines was very tall grass. was it actually a benefit to cut?
My question is why didn't they rope the course off on some of these turns? It can't be that hard to do that, right?
Because it’s not hard to see the white lines and hay bales and realize that running outside of those means you’re running outside of the course? I knew this when I was running my gym school mile in 2nd grade.
I don't mind foreign athletes at US colleges. However in a sport where only 5 athletes determine an entire team performance it would be nice to have some limits.
We need age limits and a 1-2 limit on foreign athletes per team...there is nothing America first about the NCAA...it prioritizes foreign athletes instead of investing in American development...girls race was fun with NC state winning but the mens was essentially the Kenyan national trials.
