Official 2025 NESCAC XC Thread

Thread gets real quiet when Wesleyan has a bad day

who had the most aura OAT in the Nescac?

Team-wise, with no question it's Middlebury. In terms of individuals I'd say Jeff Love or Ned Farrington. In the past few seasons it's maybe Tobias (Tobias Tilt) L'Esperance Kerkhof, Matt Scardigno, Drew Donahue, that boi Matthew Servin has some sty, he's up there for sure. You find the same teams headlining them aura power rankings

I love Mathew Servin. Only man in the NESCAC that could rival Jack Crum in looks, speed, and overall aura

Nescacs @ conn predictions:

Williams, Tufts, Amherst, Midd, Wes, after that who tf cares

Williams tends to race into peak well, tufts been looking good but no it factor, amherst best day of the season at Paul Short and have some questionable guys, Midd lotta question marks but always gonna be in the mix, and the cards are just not him (auraless).

Hosting this meet is the highlight of the Conn college xc season and really proud to see their team progressing to this awesome achievement. Excited to see them come into form for post meet clean up. Although an inside source was telling me Trinity might make a push to equal their trash bag count.

Best looking Nescac men’s team?? Take face card, bod, and overall sty into account

Big race at Conn College this weekend. Here are my predictions:

1. Williams. This team always puts it together when it counts, surprised everyone last year by being the top Nescac team when it seemed like the conference was finally out of their slimy grip. Will probably do even better this year, they have too many pieces and too much experience to really lose a race like this.

2. Tufts. Some big gains for this team but seems to be trending downward in the last few weeks, their depth causes them to struggle in bigger races. Will see how their 5-6-7 race, could be a game changer.

3. Amherst. Riser team but mostly because they were so generationally bad at the beginning of the season. Not much upside for this team but could turns some heads.

4. Wesleyan. Exposed as the frauds they are at Paul Short, but still better than some people give credit for.

5. Middlebury. Some decent frosh + Ben Hughes gives this team a bit of upside but heavy losses from graduation haven't been filled. Maybe some mustaches would help these sexy men

6. Bates. Not looking too good this season, should probably lay off the broccoli sprouts and try to actually do some XC training instead of just coasting it in until track.

7. Trinity. Trinity has a few guys this year that could be looking to break the prestigious 27-minute mark.

8. Connecticut College. Would probably be faster jumping in the water off the side of the course and swimming an 8k.

dude get a grip, this is the stupidest list i've seen. come up from air when you're done choking on williams schlong its actually crazy. you're underrating amherst and bates like crazy, bates has like 5 guys that could run 24:45 including LeBurger. i guarantee your some 40 year old dude with no wife or kids just reliving the glory days and crying yourself to sleep every night. you will never feel the touch a woman

also, did anyone leave a mask at practice?

You can lick the pumpkin spice gu off my @sshole regard. Williams is gonna dominate and there is nothing you can do about it. Go cry to your 20 person Park Slope polycule.

Williams guys all seem to be peaking quite early. Half of the scoring squad is tapering already, no chance they make it past regionals at this rate. Hopefully Eli and Ethan can keep it in their pants this time. Conn college course will not play into their strengths as a team this year (running flashy times on short courses). The Conn course will, however, play into the strengths of the host. Rumor has it there are several unknown tangents through the historical mansion. Home field advantage is going to be a huge factor for these next 2 meets and I would expect guys like Ellis Iurilli-Hough and Maxwell Jervey to have serious breakout races

Ethan Strugf-Cave is overdue for a good race. If he keeps his 8 inch soft wiener inside his split shorts, the sky’s the limit for this kid

Sources telling me Williams has new singlets with half tights. Crazy that they got new singlets before a locker room- what will this mean for their meet performance? (And their meat performance)

Looks like Wesleyan is ducking smoke yet again at the Conn invy. Some of their top guys aren’t in the entries. When are they going to realize that good teams aren’t afraid to race? Team is an absolute clown show. Zero legitimate teams do this. Would Wisconsin rest their top three at Nuttycombe? Would NAU sit Nico Young, Bosley, Brody Hasty to preserve their nationals bid? Absolutely not. Make a statement, raise your ranking! Don’t be cowards. Resting to keep a nationals bid safe is unbelievably soft. It sends a message to the conference that you aren’t built for it.

ironic that the instagram photoshoot includes said jersey in a locker. Didn’t know that williams knew about locker rooms or showers! This will be huge for their post meet appeal!

Also, word on the street is that Wesleyan is fading conn yet again and racing their b team. This move insinuates nothing about the team and their coaches respective sexual preferences.

It seems like Parker Boyle is also dodging and is entered in the white race. Or then again he could have gone on another unauthorized vacation without telling anyone (including his teammates who he refuses to run with) and is now once again facing the disciplinary consequences of his poor actions.

NESCACS Prediction:
At this moment, I believe Tufts will secure the NESCACS title, followed by Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan, Bates, Middlebury, and so on. Tufts has been having an exceptionally impressive season, with a slight setback last week at Keene State when they narrowly lost to Williams by a point. This narrow margin was attributed to the absence of their 2024 All-American Omacrane, who was not fully recovered for the race. Despite this setback, Omacrane still put on an impressive performance as their seventh runner. I am confident that he will bounce back stronger, potentially creating a significant gap between Tufts and Williams.
Amherst will undoubtedly continue their tradition of placing second at the NESCACS. While they have a lot of potential, they lack the depth of Tufts. I also believe they will edge out Williams when it comes to the NESCACS. Amherst athletes have been running exceptionally well recently, and judging by their Strava workouts, Williams runners like Nikihil and Eli appear to be injury-prone. All together, the Williams team is disintegrating, and I predict they will finish in third place. Look back to last year when the RPI (Real P€ssy Institute) put 8 runners in front of Williams 2nd man at the regional race at the conn college course. Clearly a dilapidated Williams squad is in no shape to take the title given their perennial late season struggles and history of blundering performances on this course. I would not be surprised at all if an up and coming bates squad edges Williams as well- look back to their eye popping 3200 time trial in which they put 10 guys sub 9:10 in PRESEASON. Also you can lick the pumpkin spice jiz off of Williams 2 millimeter shlock when you’re done choking on it @nesecsckler

As a Wes runner we agree lol
