How could any self respecting coach in the A10 not know Rainford was done with cross? He ran at the last 4 A10 cross championship meets.

how can people put richmond at 3-8, they have so much talent upfront with llano and benford followed by wilson, quinn, and grandt. they are definitely the frontrunner for the title

The 8 represents their placing from the 2009 XC championships.

As for the 3, you better ask the coaches on that one.

who cares? have you ever looked at the regional results compared to the preseason poll from that year? here's a much better predictor for the 2010 regional results: the 2009 regional results.

National results are a tad bit better predicted by its preseason poll, but the order from the previous year championship is the best predictor of all. I think it stems from people assuming high-level recruits are going to make a big difference at the regional or national level in their team standings, but they just don't.

The preseason poll, especially at the regional level is just a popularity contest.

Xavier beat St. Joe's by 25 this weekend at Princeton, for what that's worth.
