Official 2018 NCAA D1 XC Regional Discussion Thread - Who is going to the big dance?

NVM big surge by NAU to move up as a pack. BYU close second. Colorado falling back.

Montana Regionals: BYU with the Dub. But NAU back few cruised to bring it in with the qualifier. Looming fell back pretty hard at the end.

Wonder why Oregon number 5 Bowden didn't run hope she is good to go for NCAA's since Oregon really only has 6 really good women. Any one of 5 women teams could win NCAA's Oregon,New Mexico,Colorado,Arkansas or Boise State. GO DUCKS

BYU chips weren't working properly the first couple Ks.

NAU and BYU letting Colorado have this one. Complacent with the qualifier. Again, not running their top guys.

This is just not true. Which top guys aren't running?

Yeah, that's on me, man. their chips weren't working at all until way later.

I'm seeing NAU as the winnter, 42 points to 58 over BYU?

"the big dance" refers to the men's ncaa division I basketball tournament and nothing else

irunfast dude is talking nonsense. NAU wins and Lomong was ahead of BYU's 2nd runner.

NAU WINS WITH 42

BUY 56 for Second

I think irunfast was reading the Wood report lol

What happened to Danny Carney? 13:39 guy that ran for them earlier in the season. Injury or is he being held out too?
