DIII Cross Country 2007

really wrote:

I thought Joslyn was already a fifth year senior. How is he getting a six year of eligibility, plus the lose cloke, that is how I got 2

I thought for NYU that Phillips and McCarthy are graduating. Once again that is two

Those two teams plus Calvin should battle it out regardless

Joslyn was in school for his 9th and 10th semesters this year, the place he transferred from only had xc, thats why he had track left. Joslyn is done and heading for the roads, and the money.

Phillips and McCarthy, while being seniors, changed majors and neither has graduated yet. Both have XC left and will be back this fall. All 5 of NYU's scorers from xc last year were on auto/prov lists this spring.

While Calvin didnt look to have the best spring season, they are always ready to go come xc, they will be the team to beat.

I think the SUNY schools will do very well this upcoming xc season. cortland will dominate

As far as girls go, I plan to follow Zerzan and Wisowaty. Both are strong talented runners, as for who will take the title I am unsure

so what are your guys top 10 predictions???

My top seven:

1. NCC

2. NYU

3. Calvin

4. St. John's

5. TCNJ

6. Oshkosh

7. Haverford

North Central will not win crap, and will have to pull something out of their asses to get a trophy spot. Any you put them ahead of Cortland? Please

3. Allegheny - They ran out of their minds last year at nationals, and I think they may fall off the trophy map this year. They return 1-3-4-6-7, but their 6 and 7 guys are wayy back.

Allegheny is returning #5, 5th year. ran 14:34 two weeks ago.

also getting a frosh who's run 9:18 in the 32 twice now.

bump

shit! shenandoah, son!

I heard NYU coach telling someone at nationals they have an African coming, but he is more of an 800/1500 guy, who wont impact xc right away most likely. Anyone know anything about this?

If you're talking about Ben Mourer, he was listed in both track and xc as a senior. The frosh could make an impact though, depending on how well he adjusts to the 8k distance.

north central finished 13th win a young crew, they will trophy at nationals, and that's not a joke.

I wouldn't bother posting if there wasn't any confussion, but yes I, Mourer, have eligibility.

Whats the slowest guy at nationals worth though.

Predictions are too unpredictable until about mid November, and then still usually too bias and wrong.

but that's why a lot of us come on these boards to see what other people have to say..it's the fun in it. so keep the predictions rolling!

Cortland, based on how they ran in the 10K at the track nationals.

NCC has a young crew that is still not truly battle tested. I'm not saying they won't run well (I have them getting a trophy), but it's a long summer and I still think depth will be a factor with them.

i don't think depth will be an issue

My depth comment applies to more teams than NCC, I'd really only leave out Calvin at this point. My comment was aimed more at "grif"; to remind it is a long summer and anything can happen. For example, my senior year I only averaged 40 miles a week due to injury even though the previous two years I had been between 80-110. If you have further concerns with my thoughts, odds are you know where to find me, "alum".

i have my money on mount union for the win...no track qualifiers but a few shot puters and disco throwers. yeah, mount all the way baby!!!!!

Bridgewater College! There was a thread on the message board a while back saying they would be pretty good this fall. Posted some fast times in the 5000 during outdoor.
