NEW Atlantic Region XC *2009* thread

Are there full results up from Albany anywhere?

wow, that's quite the smackdown p-state received from rit.

Impressive run from Heymann. RIT did alright as a team. I honestly would take UR over them right now though. They finished WAY closer to Geneseo than RIT did 2 weeks ago. On a similar note, Plattsburgh...where does this race leave them?

RIT did "alright"? Plattsburgh is ranked nationally and RIT didn't even receive a vote last week. RIT beat them by 88 points after having at least two of their guys way off the back after missing the gun.

Are you just being a troll or do you really believe the stuff you type?

Wait wait wait...2 guys from RIT's top 5 missed the start?! Where did they jump on the course? Did they just start after the race? Did they not get their warmups off in time? How do you mess something like that up? I gotta hear more about this one.

They were still getting their warmups off, evidently. They just started a few seconds back of the main group. Hardbarger by probably 8 seconds or so. He caught the pack before the first turn at the far side of the big field.

As for a reason...I can only guess that they assumed the start would be late since the Women's race started about ten minutes late.

Williams and Novara keep giving each other sickness, idk how.

This can't be right... Mateer is in those results!!

UR is coming on strong! I wouldn't put too much stock in how close they were to Geneseo, as Geneseo sat Haskell and Berube, but thats still quite the impressive performance.

Didn't look like Plattsburgh sat anyone, did they? If so, bye bye national ranking.

it was really weird/spectacular/orgasmic to watch an alligator run a 8k. you wouldn't expect it to be able to keep up such a pace, but that under-grown dinosaur did it!

That effin alligator outkicked me at the end. he should try the 800 or 1000 indoors.

Wow, so much for RIT having a good reputation for smart kids...

any predictions for team scores?

1 Tim Chichester SR Suny Geneseo 5:01 24:56 1

7 Jesse Berube SR Suny Geneseo 5:06 25:19 7

8 Bobby Henchen JR Suny Geneseo 5:06 25:21 8

11 Chris Mateer SO Suny Geneseo 5:08 25:31 11

12 Pat Malone SR Suny Geneseo 5:09 25:32 12

13 Nick Pardee SO Suny Geneseo 5:09 25:36 13

17 AJ Corcoran SO Suny Geneseo 5:12 25:48 17

...damn. If you put Berube with Chichester, then thats 7 guys under 25:40.

After seeing this, my rankings are -

Geneseo

Cortland

NYU

SLU

RIT

^I don't think anyone can really disagree with that after this weekend.

Heard the course was 400m short because Chichester was scared he was going to get caught.

Why are you putting Geneseo ahead of Cortland? Because they have 7 guys that can run 25:40? I'd put more stock in what the top 5 can run from each team.

In the rain sleet snow and mud in PA.

You can't compare times run on different courses like that, especially Paul Short.

We're not gonna know who's the better of the two until SUNYACS.
