OFFICIAL 2018 NUTTYCOMBE WISCO INVITATIONAL DISCUSSION THREAD

I think we might see something similar in the men's race. I'm calling Wisco individual for the win (McDonald) and Colorado running better than their ranking. Think the Buffs might even get the win if NAU really is holding out Baxter.

New Mexico would've been maybe 10 points better with their open runner in the A race, but still behind Colorado and Boise State.

They've won the past 5 heps, so I don't think there's much of an argument they don't care about heps.

As an alum,I can tell you that's not true.

But the Tigers did take down NAU!!

How do you recognize an Ivy League alum? They'll remind you at every opportunity.

So New Mexico put three in the top 7 but their next two runners were 35th and 83rd so they only finished 3rd.

Instead Colorado won with an impressive 80 points as they went 4-6-13-19-38. Impressive depth as their #6 was 40th overall.

Boise State, like UNM, had three in the top 10 but their depth was better as their #4 and #5 were 26th and 41st.

Flotrack broadcast has been okay, but two big issues.

1. Their clock was 10 seconds slow for the entire women's race.

2. They cut away for several seconds during the final 100 meters. They almost missed the finish (but got it sorted out in time).

How were the Flotrack announcers/commentators/screamers?

Has Flotrack fixed their shaky cam issues? The last time I watched a race from them it was like the Blair Witch Project.

Shaky, huh?

They were fine. Made at least one factual error from what I can recall (saying Dani Jones won the indoor mile at NCAAs in 2017 when it was actually the 3k) but overall did a pretty good job of letting us know who the runners were up front and keeping us informed about the team race.

Columbia women had a nice showing to finish 11th, probably one of the bigger surprises of the meet. They finish one spot higher than last year, despite losing 3 of their top 4, and they put 3 girls ahead of their #1 from last year (Nell Crosby - now at NC State). It looks they'll have a good shot at repeating at Heps and making it back to NCAAs.

Monson with a 40-second 6K PR; Arkansas and BSU each with freshmen under 20!

CU with the upset. Was UNM missing anyone?

Not really missing anyone but Cohen was still racing in Europe like a month ago and probably isn't very prepared for cross country yet. And they had the B race winner who would've helped somewhat.

Arkansas's frosh is an international superstart (9:0x 3k)

Boise's frosh is a RS Fr and sub 16:00 girl

Looks like Matt Baxter, last year's NCAA runner-up and top returner, is not running. Someone on the MB said that would be the case.

Funny how the Princeton men - who are nationally ranked - were delegated to the B race while conference and region rival Penn - not even receiving votes - is in the A race.

Is Joe Klecker running?

He traveled, but I dont see him in the live results and havent seen him on screen.

Looks like UNM ran everybody from the letsrun previews other than the transfer from Creighton. CU did not run Boreman and it looks like they might redshirt the freshman Hall. Good run from the Buffs.

only 6 showing for Colorado in the results. Could be a late scratch?
