Just came across this thread. Though I realize that not all teams at Pre-Nats were racing at full strength, I'm very impressed by Cornell's top-ten finish. I know they've had a good recruiting class or two in recent years but I really did not expect them to be at this level.
And although Cornell had fifth-man problems here, their B squad raced elsewhere and produced what looks like a couple of solid candidates for that slot.
Just another element in what's shaping up as an extremely competitive Ivy League conference meet...
