so many of these team that are "on the up and up" have many impact freshmen this year
to not mention them to be in the mix at this point would make the team as a whole not worth mentioning.
I'm pretty sure most of these "up and up" teams are almost completely comprised of Sophomores and Freshmen.
Remember there can be guys like Ricky Flynn that get 4th at regionals as freshmen
What is the regionals course like this year? All I've heard is fast, fast, fast.
it's like a frozen lake
i'm not saying that the freshman won't have an impact on the team, it's just that i believe it's a little early to count on all these young guns when we're only 1 or 2 races into the season. it's a looong couple of months of training and racing. studs like ricky flynn, etc. are few and far between. and even even horses like him have their injury issues. it's a long season and i hope only for the success of these guys. good luck to all! lets make the south/southeast a little more respectable!
the regional meet is taking in Williamsburg, Va. from what some of the team schedules say. It must be pretty flat down there.
Does anybody know what time won it the last time regionals were held at this course?

NJ and mahoney both won regions as transfers, I think there are other guys who did good their first year. Centre, Emory, Lynchburg usually get good freshmen too, how do you not consider incoming runners especially ones with impressive hs records (is it true about a 15:00 freshman at Lburg)? Who knows what course the region meet is at?
damn I just remembered Jkirk and didn't one of the Bridgewater guys transfer in and qualify for nats as a transfer?

because we all know how many 15-flat guys out of high school end up at places like Lynchburg College. I know you guys have a lot of free time over there in Virginia, but at least you could make up a better story than that. i mean, at least give a name.
actually he is a transfer from a college up in new jersey. his name is ryan van alstine and he ran 16:10 on VCP at footlocker regionals as a senior in high school. also ran 9:30 3200 i believe and ran low 15's all last year while not running for a school
he's the brother of the Lindsey, Beth, and Amy Van Alstine.
I think all of them went to foot locker out of NJ
fear him

or you can just buy three 8 X 10 glossy photos for $44.95. That sounds steep now, but these could be collectors items.
Michael Taye is pretty much the only sweet runner ever from the south region.
actually the only sweet runner was that guy from Centre trying to get on that gay show
hey, i voted for him.
Predictions for SSE regional:
1. Rhodes
2. Centre
3. Emory
4. Mary Wash
5. Trinity
6. Wash and Lee
7. Sewanee
8. Lynchburg
9. CNU
10. somebody else
Individuals:
1. Lewis - Rhodes
2. Flynn - Lynchburg
3. Mahoney - Rhodes
4. Rothbart - Emory
5. Devar - Mary Wash
6. Rittenhouse - Bridge
7. Parks - Centre
SCAC votes:
1. Colorado
2. Rhodes
3. DePauw
4. Centre
5. Trinity or Sewanee
looks like we have an scac guy making predictions.
prob still too early to make meaningful predictions, but, aside from your confusion among the top three (no way emory drops to 3), you've moved trinity and sewanee way too far up and completely dis'd lynchburg and bridgewater, which will be in the thick of it for the 4, 5, 6 spots. i'd keep watching mcmurry too.
i'll let someone else cover your individual and scac picks.
Bridgewater and L'burg will be higher up and W&L will be lower
Emory will be 1st, and Mary Washington will be lower.
Flynn will win, then Mahoney
Dude what are you smoking?!?
Emory will win ... Lynchburg second ... Bridgewater, Wash and Lee and Mary Wash round out the top 5. Virginia schools are going to dominate. SCAC will flop.
