ACC XC Championships 2023 Discussion Thread

Chepngetich is right up there in the mix

This could be a tight finish!

Amaris DNF? She had a 5K split but currently isn't showing up at the finish.

Not so tight. Nice race by quarzo, not best day for Hartman and even stephens

TOLD YA - LFG!!!!!!!

2 guys sub 25. YEEEEHA

2021 NCAAs at Tallahassee --> 2023 ACCs

Chmiel (NCS) – 19:34.6--> 19:36.5
Markezich, Olivia (ND) – 19:38.0 --> 19:38.1
Tuohy (NCS) – 19:43.1 --> 19:22.8
Bush (NCS) – 19:52.9 --> 20:10.7
Brown (UNC) – 20:15.0 --> 20:54.3
Harrington (UNC) – 20:16.2 --> 20:51.8
Strzelecki (ND) – 20:23.4 --> 20:20.4
Neglia (UNC) – 20:34.7 --> 21:16.9
Dobson (UNC) – 20:48.7 --> 21:26.8
Roark (SYR) – 20:51.9 --> 20:01.8

She missed the top 5.

Good win by the NC State women but they have some work to do.

They have too big of a 2 to 3 and 3 to 4-5 gap. Hartman faded too much as did Tyynismaa. Bush seems to possibly be on the right track in getting back.

Clemson's Chepngetich and Miami's Lavassas should hit the portal unless they're OK in their situation and like their schools.

I still have NAU as the favorite to win it all.

On the men's side, the UNC men were very impressive. THere's a good chance they'll be a top 5 at the finals.

Bush did the same thing at nutty I think. Could be part of the plan to work them both back in. Have them start, just to be used to the race feel, and then run a bit and drop out. Seems to be working well for Bush getting back into it.

I did think it was telling that she started in second row

6th!!

Thanks for posting. Majority ran quite a bit slower today. Tuohy was faster, Markezich and Chmiel about the same.

What a race by Maatoug! Until the final 500 I was wondering if she would catch Tuohy.

Bush was a late scratch because of the weather, coming back from injury. Here, Amaris ran through 5k and dropped. Her 4k splits were ok but it looks like she slowed through 5k. Maybe that was the plan?

How many can they run at regionals?

Unc's men were good today but there was 30+ seconds between their 4 and 5. That's going to be a ton of points at nationals.

Also Tyynismaa didn't fade at all for the NC State women. The 4 splits she hit were 23rd-19th-13th-15th. she just dropped which is obviously worrying but its not like she thought she was in shape to run with Tuohy and Chmiel and then died.

With AT and SB not at full strength, NC State is 2nd or possibly even 3rd at NCAAs.

Not what I expected coming into this season!

Yeah, I posted before I saw that Tyynismaa was a DNF. What someone else mentioned above, Have them start, just to be used to the race feel, and then run a bit and drop out," is entirely feasible.

I expect them to be 2nd. I don't see how they beat NAU. I can't see them being 3rd.

Bush ran well today. Not at her previous levels but she seems to be progressing.

Markezich continues on upswing, Maatoug looked very good, Appleton rounding into form as expected.

1 Katelyn Tuohy 1,140 -1

I added Roark at 10-15 and she was 9. But UNC killed me alas

Anyone else cranking morning beers while the SEC meet gets underway?
