I am curious to see how Syracuse does in the next four to five years, wink wink nudge nudge.

Totally agree; nothing against NAU, I don't mind them but it feels a little sour. If it's a team sport then it makes a lot more sense to score 6th. Oh well, the rule is the rule.

Yeah the top 5 result is soooooo much different than 6.

At this point in NAU is just a running factory. A sub standard school but - great setting with a solid coach.

I’d be pretty embarrassed to have an NAU diploma

You do realize no one cares about this sport right? I bet half the students at NAU don't know they have a running program. You are using running factory as if it's even remotely the same level of importance as football or basketball. Running programs lose money for the school. They make zero dollars. NAU running to overall NAU is completely meaningless.

that'd be a dumb decision. a Stanford degree actually means something, and you'd be throwing it away to go pro early.

NAU athletes, on the other hand, are in a glorified high school.

And he'll make hardly any money because he isn't that fast compared to actual fast people and he runs a distance no one cares about.

If scoring top 5 results in a tie, then yes, using 6th to break the tie is indeed 'sooooo much different'. It's a team sport.

Yeah they signed two good runners but you need 5 unfortunately.

Hicks is a senior academically. He's going to finish his degree this year. He has eligibility to stick around for a grad degree, but I bet he goes pro.
