I'm a doctor at a "US News top 10 hospital" whatever tf that means, and I have colleagues who went to 2 years community college and then a small branch of a state school, or went to some tiny no-name local college with a scholarship, and it doesn't matter
Where did you do your undergrad and med school? Just curious. I did two years at a community college before going to a very good school and it worked out well. No sense paying a lot for general education if when you transfer and graduate your degree will be only from where you graduated.
Undergrad was a small college nobody here's heard of, med school was a state school. My friend who went to CC and then a small branch of a state school (in Alabama) went to Duke for med school. Nobody cares about anything except the grad degree. One of my kids plans to do CC first, and the other two planning to go to our state university (one probably will run for them)
If the "team" is defined by the 5 runners whose places determine the "team's" score, and it is, then adding a 6th runner doesn't make sense.
If the tiebreak is just from the top 5, the 6th and 7th runners can still knock other runners back and make the other teams' scores higher, but I agree, for the team to be 7 runners, it makes the most sense for the tiebreak to be based on the 6th runner. From the standpoint of how the slower ones compete, and from the overall team perspective

That's going to save you a lot of money. The specific industry is also very important. I run the day to day of a technology company (most software engineering, DevSecOps, etc.) and most developers come from the local universities and don't get grad degrees (fairly meaningless for a developer who already has a CS degree). I didn't even need an MBA to get my job, for what that's worth.
CIFSS D2 results are in. NP with 25 points to Ventura, with 90. Lex, Leo, Sahlman go 1-2-3, Seymour 6th, Doshi 13th. No Cantu or Shetty. I'm wondering if the flu bug affected the team. Lex wins at 14:38.1, Leo 14:38.2, Sahlman 14:43.8, Seymour 15:00.6, Doshi 15:24.5. Sixth & seventh were way back at 16:11 and 16:18. Doshi needs to close the gap. At NXN there will be tons of runners in the gap between Seymour and Doshi. Even so, they still have to be the favorites.
That was one of the most exciting NCAAs I have been to, perhaps the most.
Tuohy hunting down Valby was insane. Such a disciplined race by Tuohy. Cool to see the OKST girls get on the podium at home.
I was shocked to see the men’s race widdle down to 3 individuals so early, even more surprised the Bosley was one of the three.
And obviously the men’s team drama. Stanford looked great early, then it looked like NAU, then it looked like BYU was about to move into position, and then OKST moved up. Really wild.
I was so impressed with the OKST course. Very fun to watch as a spectator. The footing was immaculate, but the hills made it tough. Kudos to the Cowboys on hosting.
It’s a bummer that NCAA Cross-Country really only matters for about 50 minutes once a year, but man, those 50 minutes almost make up for it.
Some of NAU's guys struggle all year and then run otherworldly on the day. For years now. What the hello, doesn't compute.
Coach Smith is the best coach in the country, he prepares them to peak at nationals.
Whatever he does to get Brodey Hasty to show up right on time every year is really impressive. And not just at nationals, but particularly in the second half of the race. Kudos.

The battle of the two Coach Smiths!
Fact that santos discussed with these guys is kind of silly. His Iona success was with byrne’s teams and off the back of Kenyans before everyone had Kenyans.

Santos has something to prove these next few years with all the talent he has and will be getting.
It's not that she doesn't know what they are. She says her coach explained it to her, but she says she doesn't know what they are in the race (so she just follows the cart). So, I think it is more of a lack of spatial awareness thing.
Love her - but she probably wouldn't be the easiest to run side-by-side with on a regular run. She'd be running you into parked cars, potholes, and mailboxes and not even be aware of it.

Tuohy is just an absolute beast, closing a 12 second gap like that and then some over 2k.
Valby has a lot of guts and really went for it, kudos to her.
Some amazing performances all around, especially by freshman women Cook and Olemomoi, and breakouts like Stearns. Great race.
Tuohy just looks strong and she’s a fighter…she’s got to have a great strength training routine. What’s exciting is the top 10 women are all underclassman. We're going to have a couple years of great rivalries.
Not Seymour, but Nevada Moreno gets MVP! By far her best college performance in 24th, about 50 points better than target! and her time was around the old course record at 20:07.
With this performance, NC state could have won with any of Rauber 5, Seymour 6, Quarzo 7 counting as 5th runner.
I saw this...good for both Rauber and Seymour....was Quarzo close enough as well? I didn't think so. Superb race by those three.....but Moreno killed it!! As did Sam Bush!! Excellent work by that group to lock in the win.
