DIII Cross Country 2009

Wow congratulations to NCC. I believe the previous poster is correct about the 7 AA's on one team. Unreal!

Ghostoflyndaker, kosgei jogged the kilometer getting passed left and right

Kudos to Dhornet11...second post on this thread..picked Flynn to win! Great job...

what the hell happend to all the atlanic regional kids....they either ran crazy good or crazy bad...almost no expected performances

you got that right! on the second post of this thread!

if ricky cracked a smile after the race that would be a first

Wow! Congrats to NCC on a dominating performance. Being from Illinois, congrats to all our home grown guys. What a fantastic season for the Cardinals.

What's this course like? Anyone know the first mile split?

Times seem unusually slow.

It was muddy.

Kosgei was leading with 600 to go and Flynn passed him. After that he gave up and basically walked across the finish line. Reminiscent of 2007 except this year totally gave up.

i heard course was hilly and muddy

Not a single flat stretch I hear. Teams from flat areas struggled it seemed.

If that's true about Kosgei, it's despicable. What an ass.
