Rotich = 85th. So much for being a potential winner
Aouani from Syracuse ended up being their 7th man instead of their 3rd man. Hate to pin the defeat on him, but had he been Syracuse's 3rd man, they probably would have won.
Aouani was 51st at the last split (ahead of Syracuse 3rd Hubbard and 4th Germano). Hubbard ended up 34th overall.
Syracuse lost the championship in the last 2 km.
Stanford only had 6 runners? Did they run Ratcliffe and he DNFed? Or did somebody DNS?

Thomas Ratcliffe was 15:22 at the 3rd split. The 7 runners there were packed between 15:17 and 15:24, he was #5. He made it to the final recorded split, but at that point he was running #7 for Stanford. Choice must have been made to have him drop as he was not going to end up helping Stanford today.

Individual results anywhere?
Sure.
That is not a problem.
I have some Flagstaff results for the month of November:
1) Sally Kipyego (2:28)- 2nd at NYC marathon.
2) Molly Huddle (2:28) 3rd at NYC marathon.
3) Abdi Abdirahman (2:11) 3rd at NYC marathon.
4) Jim Walmsley- 1st JFK 50 Mile (5:21, new course record).
5) NAU Cross Country team- 1st NCAA Cross Country Championships.
In conclusion:
1) Flagstaff runners destroy the entire world of distance running on planet Earth (except for Kenya, Ethiopia and wherever Kenenisa Bekele is at this moment).
2) Take that all runners on planet earth.
3) OH YEA BABY!!!
He would have had to finish pretty high to get Stanford the title in any case.
What about Ostberg for Stanford? Where the heck has he been?

I hope not. What a message: quit when things don't go your way.
Hope he is ok and all but quitting or having someone quit because of an off day is sh!t.
Wetmore is ALWAYS over-rated on LRC. Way too many people on LRC think he is some sort of genius. So happy to see the Oregon ladies and NAU men get the job done. Just wish Alice Wright had a better day. It looked like she just gave up once she realized that it wasn't her day.

I wonder if he started the race sick.
Maybe the men need to race a shorter distance, so that a true competition can unfold and excitement can flourish.
Although, the men's race this year was great.

Rono and his team ran poor on purpose that day in Madison. We always wondered if they collectively had a beef that day with their coach and agreed to jog. I remember running by him and thinking, what is he doing back here and why am I passing him so quickly?
Why would anyone have a beef with John Chaplin?
