I would imagine that the race today at Rochester was slower due a lot to the lower level of competition. In conjunction with the conditions being somewhat worse, I could see the times being 40-50s slower. I don't think SLU is on the same level as Geneseo though. The SLU NYU battle might be tight, I don't think the SLU RIT battle will be. Saratoga next weekend will sort that out.
Plattsburgh.... don't really know what to say. I expected much better out of them, they don't seem to have the fire that they did last year. Even if they pull off a great race at regionals again, it seems like they're too far back to get 5th (and if they do the region will qualify only 4 for nationals).
