Meh the ONU boys are probably busy thanking Jesus that I’m out of cross eligibility so I can’t whoop them on the course again this fall. They never could put down fast times when it mattered. Enjoy my absence while it lasts boys, I’ll be back for track season with vengeance.
The most predictable one was St. Francis's women tanking in polls. They went down from 11 to 20.
Olivet Nazarene went from 20 to 16. I'm not exactly sure why they moved up but if one of the ONU guys on here wants to stop spam posting about Reif or St. Francis not being holy enough, they're my guest to explain why.
Aquinas jumped from 22 to 18 after beating St. Francis and Mt. Mercy.
Huntington for obvious reasons has dropped out of the rankings entirely.
Not sure I would listen to anything any of the college kids would say judging by the last page and a half of comments …
in my opinion though, even though I think SCAD is a smidge overrated sitting at 12th, ONU did only lose to them by 18 at Louisville. Times were not amazing but it was reported to be very warm for that Louisville race.

SCAD was missing one or two of their top 7 and they don’t have any depth
Obviously Evert Silva’s 22:25 at Arturo Barrios Invitational was insane, but the rest of Oklahoma City showed some impressive performances. Their #2 (Beckam Hartis) went 24:06, #3 (Damien Williams) went 24:08, #4 (David Boulanger) went 24:21, #5 (Ayenew Devany) went 24:37. Very nice 1-5 split.
The Masters and Embry-Riddle raced eachother again at the Highlander invitational. It seems like both team’s #1 runners were battling each other. Embry Riddle’s Demetris Love ran for a 2nd place finish running a 23:53 and The Master’s Jack Anderson came in 3rd place running a 23:54. This is their first time running under the 24 minute mark. Master’s #2 (Connor Ybarra) is very consistent running a 24:19, this is his 4th time this season running (close to) 24:20s. Embry Riddle’s new #2 (Dillon Eisner) had a 23 second PR running a 24:33. The GSAC is looking to be a dangerous conference for Nationals.

Evert is just so good man. He’s probably gonna lead Oklahoma City to a win at Nationals. I wish I could be him so bad!
I expect Spring Arbor to take the win at Great Lakes. IWU and Taylor just aren’t quite as deep as they need to be. Grace, Goshen and St Francis are both a little overrated and will move backwards some. Aquinas and Cornerstone are both much better teams than they showed at Great Lakes and will beat some teams ranked ahead of them. Rocky Mountian and Carroll will also stack up better against some of these Midwest teams than the ratings would show.
