UNC's 4th & 5th killed them. They were 7, 11, 27 and then 158 & 196. There was a 49 second gap between their 3rd & 4th. Did they run everyone? The USTFCCCA poll had them at #1 in the SE region and #5 in the country.

Jake Gebhardt was 37th for them at UVA. Just had a bad run today.
Also Will Coogan and Patrick Anderson were their 4th and 5th last year at nationals in 106th and 113th. Haven't seen either of them since Raleigh Relays in march of last year. Not sure if they are still injured or what the deal is.

They were in a car accident in the spring. Anderson isn’t going to be back anytime soon. It sounds like Coogan is training on his own, but not with the team yet.

Man i completely forgot that happened. Definitely something you dont want to rush back from. Hope they can get back to their previous levels however long it takes.
CBU (Cal Baptist University) moving up 10 team places in the last 2k to take 4th as a team seems like the overperformance of the day (if not the year, or the decade). Never heard of them.
Arturs Medveds [SR] 23:53.8 Giedrius Valincius [SR] 24:06.8 Matias Reynaga [JR] 24:09.8 Rikus Van Niekerk [JR] 24:13.2 Valentin Soca [FR] 24:16.1 Pedro Marin [FR] 24:53.9 Massimiliano Berti [JR] 25:04.3 Dylan Van Der Hock [JR] 25:20.9
Who cares. CBU is just executing a cheat code and handing out a bunch of scholarships to old-ass foreign dudes. Not a single home-grown American kid in that list, and the youngest “freshman” is 21. Why should we celebrate a team like that?
finally seeing the race I'm much more impressed with Valby's record breaking time. that course was garbage; muddy, slippery, windy. everyone looked so tentative going downhill.
Valby seemed indifferent to the conditions, simply owned the course. i can't imagine what her time would have been if conditions were good. an amazing performance.
what an unbelievable performance. I feel kinda bad for Tuohy. Is Valby just surpassing her or should we not read to much into this race?
As good as NAU is there is a team better and that’s Oklahoma State. They brought in 2 Kenyan “freshmen” who should be top ten. Alex Meir and Faud Messoudi were top 10 at NCAAs last year. That’s 4 potential top ten! Add Victor Shtsama who was all American last year as their top 5 and there is no team that can compete with that I don’t care what NAU did today. Don’t be surprised in NAU doesn’t win in November.

I was wondering how small, private Baptist school could compete with all the big cross country powerhouses.

Actually, the university's mission is to bring Christianity to the world and be an educational center for training international students for Christian ministry. That happens to align nicely with recruiting internationally for talented Christian athletes.

Someone’s mad. You run for a team in their “WAC” conference that is about to get slaughtered because your coach can’t do a better job?
NCAA should use more foreigners. The more exposed our younger American athletes are to international competition, the better they’ll develop and mature to compete at the world stage. Take Grant fisher and Elise cranny…how many titles were taken from them by international athletes? Now look how much they’ve improved at the pro level. We need our younger athletes to get slapped around more and for the NCAA to continue to get more competitive.

Also…their youngest guys on their top 7 are 19 and 20…riddle me that…

I dont know if id say surpassing her for sure, but she proved she's clearly a few steps ahead right now and she may have more to give for all we know. Super impressive performance.

I just wrote the same thing on a new thread. (I felt like I had to pay tribute.) Like you said, an *amazing* performance.

The slippery foot-plants on such a course are very energy-sapping and sometimes quite treacherous, at the risk of injury. Valby’s relatively high center-of-mass would seem to be a disadvantage on such a course, but as Kara Goucher said on the broadcast (maybe with a bit of hyperbole), at times Valby seemed to be “popping off the ground”. She really charged those hills (some quite steep), too!

Edit, I meant “on such a course under those weather conditions.” Blowing rain into the eyes is another hindrance.
