Really Burleigh as high as 10th?
What about for women?
Congrats to all the PSAC athletes who competed today, especially Monroe and Dinzeo. Two in the top five is legit.
The indoor season is now upon us...any early upset predictions?
The Mansfield women and going to be interesting to watch.
meh
go to sleep schmidt
Burt Hoovis making a comeback.
Monroe runs 14:17 at bucknell. solid opener esp since looks like he did it solo since he won by over a minute
Well now that indoors is underway lets start hearing some predictions for psacs and for who will make nats! Is dinzeo going to run this indoors or redshirt so that he will have a full year next year? Could we have the psac have 3 dmr teams make nats?
Only team I see making it BACK to NCAAs is the Shippensburg Men's DMR.
With who running what leg? They lost flott and Gillette
Burleigh ran 4:07 as a freshman in the mile, Kehl in the 1200, and 1:52 runner Dan Dreeman in the 800. I think things are looking good for Ship in the DMR....
Ship's got a ton of guys who can run a qualifying time in the DMR. Don't forget about Spangler who made it to finals outdoor in the 1500 and Gibson as well
I would not bank on Ship's DMR at the national level, at least don't put too much money on it. Burleigh has not gotten back to the level he was at since he transfered... He seems to be a head case regardless, given some of the pictures I have seen posted online - He had a knife to his chin in one that I recall. Spangler was less than impressive in XC and it's anyones guess whether or not he will pull around for track. Either way he is only worth 4:11-4:12 (tops) indoors if he gets his act together. I see Burliegh at 4:10 if all goes well for him, but envision him in the 4:12 range also. I like Bernard England for the 1600 leg - he ran great in XC for a middle distance runner and saw much imporvement over the prior year. It could be a three pirate race for the 1600m leg, and I think its a complete toss up.
There is nothing even notable to discuss in the 800 and 1200 meter legs. They will likely just be filled by the two guys who don't get the 1600m leg. What I am getting at is there is limited depth across the board. Compounding the issue is that none of these athletes have proven to be consistent. Further, none are superior enough to carry three other mediocre athletes on their back.
On a good day, Ship may crack out a 9:55ish but thats about all they are good for. Making it to the big show will be a long shot - not impossible. I can just think of way safer bets then the Ship Men DMR.
Way safer bets like who? I'm not really seeing that one

Sounds like you're not confident to say who is "supposed" to have a better dmr than ship this year.
Burleigh really proved himself in xc - excpet not. I do not remember Kehl ever being academically eligable for an entire season. And Dreman, that guy's beer/miles ratio is way off. I have seen guys perform well on the 1/2 beer per mile per week plan. I.E 30 beers and 60 miles. But a typical week for Dreman is probably 45 beers and 40 miles. Don't get me wrong, the guys have talent but aren't reliable enough to all be there on the same day.
Say they make it to NATs tho. Then the possibility of a drug test comes up...EEEKKK
