    re: huh?

    Something WAS wrong, it wasn't "falling flat on your face", that would have been those 2 guys back fighting for top-30. In my opinion, they just had an 'ok' race while some others around them had better races.

    In the last 1k Teg was passed by maybe 5 guys, he passed maybe 2. The 4 guys that passed him in the last 1k were either right with him or a couple seconds back at 9k - not a major change.

    Solinsky did fade the last 800. He was struggling at 9k and was in 10th place with 2-3 guys right behind him. He lost about 15 seconds in that last 1000m, most of which was in the last 500m.

    Colorado had a good day...but not all runners ran perfectly...they had runnners that ran amazing and that ran bad as well

    look at their third runner from regionals....he was there seventh at ncaa's. he did not run well on monday.

    overall they did step it up, but i am just wanted to point out not every runner ran great, contrary to belief.

    Wisconsin would have won if they were a red state. of course a red state is going to win nationals

    Yes. Hats off to the Colorado team, they ran a great race. But you can't knock Wisconsin for going out hard and running up front. When you are favored to win you don't go out super conservative, you run from the front and control the race which is what Wisconsin did. They did not get out coached. Colorado was on that day and Wisconsin was not.

    The advantage Colorado had is that they had no pressure going into the race and snuck up on alot of people. It is extremely hard to be ranked #1 and carry it all the way through the NCAA's. I would be interested as to how many of you who are posting on here who have actually competed at a DI national cross country meet. Some of the posts are ignorant and childish. I am guessing they are coming from people who really have not been there and done that.

    He didn't say they were arrogant or overconfident, just that they came across as that during the season. I have to admit, I thought the same thing.

    Wisconsin is definitely not arrogant or overconfident. Have you ever talked to them to make such a statement?!?! After the race they were saying the same things people here are saying (Colorado ran unbelievable, they deserved the win, they [the Badgers] didn't run up to their ability).

    In response to strategy, the Badgers did have a strategy. Bairu, Teg, & Solinsky were cut loose to run at the front - for the win if it worked out. Their 4-7 guys were supposed to pack it up and run together. This is similar to last year (Bairu was cut loose, the others were told to stay together until the last mile or 1k).

    The Badgers didn't run horribly, just not their best races. Teg & Solinsky were 9th & 10th at 9k, they only dropped a few spots (12th & 16th) - hardly falling on their faces. Spiker was one that didn't have a good race, and that's why he's decided to come back next year.

    Congrats to the Buffalo's on a great race!
