2023 NCAA Cross Country Championships Live Thread!

No one really saying this but think Stanford should be very disappointed. Aside from Ky who has multiple coaches - not great outcome. School like that - with resources scraping into top 10 is not good enough.

OSUs fifth guy has ran 13:11. This has to be in conversation for best team of all time. I know the UTEP guys were fast but NCAA is better now.

Here is a video of them interviewed. Obviously fluent in english.

If your head is not in the game you are going to physically suffer more. Valby knew KT was not going to take it out with her and clearly KT knew if too.

Tuohy was sick today, the Coach has interviewed about it now. Apparently Henes did not even this she would make it through the race.

How is women's college running still so less deep than mens? That woman from Florida had like a one minute lead after 5k, ridiculous. The men were all within seconds of each other at the finish.

Psychological injury

How do some people still buy this???

you think she is running more than that?

I 100% believe that if somebody is a world level talent they can take it to the ncaa field on 20-30 mpw and tons of cross training.

One Florida runner DNF, was she normally a scorer? If they had a 5th they might have taken 3rd.

Please tell us you didn't compile this and there was existing documentation. Haha...

You win as a team, you lose as a team.

102 temperature this morning.

1. Parker Valby (Florida): 18:55.2
2. Doris Lemngole (Alabama): 19:05.7

???

lmao

Math is hard.

He’s presenting the gap between 1st and 2nd place AT THE 5K mark, NOT at the finish.

Valby: 15:44.7

Lemngole: 16:02.8

I’m not buying the weak excuse that Tuohy was sick. Before the race, the coach said Tuohy is in the best shape of her life. Now she’s sick?? BS. Every time Tuohy loses there are lame excuses. So sick of it.
