Colorado has a chance to put three in top ten with a kilo left. Moussa having great race.
Men's feed online was great. Eric Jenkins a story. Fit sum overtook at end but Jenkins sommumed in that little extra something you could tell he wanted it really wanted it wow
Anyone else notice Fitsum really upset coming through the line. He's obviously bummed that he missed out on 2nd place, but it almost felt like he was angry with someone else. Maybe not though.
Colorado had a 31 point lead on Stanford.
Stanford's 5th runner was 39th.
So, Rosa would have had to finish top 8(ish--I didn't do math on new scores) to change the outcome.
Still, far and away best Stanford showing of the year. Props to them.
Wow! Stanford was really the big overachiever here today with a breakout performance after several tough years at Nationals. Breakthrough runs from McGorty, Atchoo, Wharton...

Yes, I definitely noticed this too. Maybe there was some contact between him and Jenkins? This is pure speculation...

That was my thought, too. But I didn't see that from the video. It looked like Jenkins went pretty wide to pass. Will have to check out the replay when it comes out. Regardless, really cool to see Ches and Jenkins go 1-2.

You wonder why they are not using more guys like Kennedy to commentate , the fan boy nonsense we normally hear is embarrassing and bad for the sport.

Agreed that Kennedy was rather good. In fact, that was arguably the best coverage I have EVER seen for a running event. And I watch s*itloads of running events.
How about Ammar Mousa taking 5th.
Wow, it looks like Portland got 3rd with only 5 finishers. Ranked 8th going in, too. That's the most striking thing to me in the results.
Also, props to Branch for the great timing system. It was really cool having it display splits and team scores in real time and doing it apparently seamlessly.
Portland runners moved up a ton in the last 2K to nab first podium finish in school history.

You must have never watched BBC's coverage of the diamond league. Week after week, they provide great coverage -albeit with a focus on British athletes. Really strong coverage team.
However today's was quite good. Most important piece of commentating is knowing the sport -and they showed that today- a rare occurrence

I actually watch the BBC for every DL meet and you are correct - their coverage is top-notch. I may have gotten a bit carried away with my hyperbole. Keep in mind, my most recent "big race" comparisons have been the Chicago and NY marathons…. AWFUL coverage for both of those events.

His commentating was good. I hope you aren't talking about the video angles. A lot of the time we couldn't see the leader.

You're right. She never took the lead. 2nd place in the NCAA Cross Country Championship means she's a complete failure...

I got 3 out of 4 podium teams correct and was totally correct with Portland and NAU. Didn't really see Stanford coming but I was correct on Iona, ok state and Wisconsin's disappointing performances. Ammar Moussa finally reaching his potential!! California represent.
so then...what's the last championships where a team went 1-2 and WASN'T at least top 3?

If both Rosa's had run, and run well and placed right around 10th or even higher, would that have been enough to win? And are the Rosa's coming back next year to run with Grant Fisher or was this their last season of eligibility?
Both Rosas, McGorty --who clearly looks like he's ready to step up into the top echelon now-- and then Wharton (who just had his own coming-out party today with a GREAT race), Sweatt (very solid today, and very solid all year long), Keelan, Logan, and a HUGE pair of wild cards in the form of Fisher and Ostberg.
This will be an *awesome* team next year. Probably good enough to challenge the Buffs --even though that team might be as good as this year's.
(Stanford girls will be contenders as well, with two likely top-5, and lots of depth coming up.)
Stanford guys ran the best race in the field today, by far.
I guess all the LRC morons whose entire analysis consists of "Stanford always chokes" look pretty stupid now, but that's no surprise.
Basically, the whole team ran brilliantly, with the exception of Joe, who faded pretty badly in the last 1500.
Atchoo ran the X-C race of his career. One of the few guys in the pack who was smart enough to really take full advantage of the tactical pace. Helluva job, Mike.
Too bad we didn't have Jim. Could've made it *very* interesting today.
Posted this in the live coveritlive coverage:
http://www.letsrun.com/news/2014/11/live-coverage-2014-ncaa-cross-country-championships/
Wetmore and Jorge Torres both said this is the best CU team ever.
Rojo asked Torres about the 2001 team vs this team a top 4 battle and Torres still thought this team would win. 2001 team had Torres brothers, Ritzenhein and Steve Slattery.
2001 team didn't defend with top 4 all coming back
