Who cares about the Ole coaching drama. Who will replace the legend Tim Miles? The obvious move seems to stay in house and hire the assistant. Does this change predictions for the season? How involved was he in the training? Is there a scenario where they combine coaching staffs with the Bennies?

This is so interesting to me when you have other teams in the MIAC that have roster limits and recruiting standards. You’d think they’d find a home at Hamline and a good coach could develop some of them.
And Hamline only has 1 freshman.

It's interesting that we have teams that cut, yet the Rose-Hulman coach told my brother he wants to have over 100 men on his roster. He said the Oles have siblings on the team and they're recruiting Minnesota hard. The Johnnies and Oles have big rosters, but I can't imagine 100 on a cross country team. Several WIAC schools have roster limits.

BREAKING NEWS
Following his 14th straight 80-mile week, while en route to Northfield from his Montana high altitude training lair, Ian Curtises's car has spontaneously combusted just outside of Spearfish SD. Ole XC hopes are left in limbo as a man they hoped would help lead them to victory is currently chumming it up with the Black Hills State University mens team at the local KOA. When reached for comment Curtis remarked, "lots of excelent places to ride my bicycle here. No windmills to joust, just oil rigs. Thankfully I brought some fun math problems to do!"
Brian Power was unable to be reached for comment on account of his recent lynching by Ole Alums.
How will this effect the Oles chances in the MIAC this summer?
Where the hell is this Ole transfer they speak of?
All this and more at 5.40 -
Plot twist - when moving East from Wyoming, the Auggie transfer left a series of elaborate Wile E. Coyote-style traps on the eastward journey sabotage the great hope of the Oles.
Will our hero prevail? Or is Ian an antihero destined to disappoint his loyal bubs? To be continued . . .

No freshmen listed.Many people have heard of Will Sumner, but this season St Olaf is getting another Sumner, the one who went from 5:30 1600 / 11:50 3200 during 2021 track to 16:34 5k during 2021 XC.

Great hire by the Johnnies

Just looking at the Oles's Strava accounts will tell you the freshman group. The Sumner kid is solid, but most appear to be 800 types. Looks like the transfer is one of Ian Curtis's high school teammates and his Strava shows incredibly slow runs so I doubt the Oles will get much out of him. I stand by my picks of Johnnies/Carls fighting for the win and Oles being very close to the Augsburg/Scholastica melee.

These Regional rankings are a joke. What clown picked Oshkosh and Eau Claire ahead of a Carleton? I’d expect the Oles to be over-ranked because they are kings of over hype and in theory have potential to be good. Carthage shouldn’t be ahead of Macalester or Augsburg.

Saint Mary's brought in a large class with some potential. Hamline's time is over.

Cobber roster is up. They may have brought in the top two true freshmen recruits in the MIAC with a set of twins from North Dakota.
The Cobbers had a tremendous conference meet last year, but appear to be missing their top four from last year's championship. Tanner Olson and the twins will have to be low sticks to challenge for the top half of the MIAC.

Oles have posted their roster. Sumner and Fitzgerald we knew about. Kind of an underwhelming class otherwise.
04 -
1) 15:34 / 9:19
2) 14:55 / 4:12 (transfer)
2) 9:43 / 1:57 800
3) 9:45 / 16:30
4) 9:59
5) 16:51
6) 4:37
& several 17-17:45 5K guys
Quite a few of those slower 5K guys but the top end is fairly solid
50 -
Looks like most of the slower guys are 800m guys running XC. Prepare for 32:00 plus 8K’s but they’ll all be a no-name 4 x 800 to finish third in May.
Both the Gusties and the Johnnies have posted their rosters. The Gusties may have a freshman as their No. 1. The Johnnies freshmen could be top 5 at the MIAC meet by themselves.

St Olaf opener

I noticed it for the St. Olaf Showcase today, and I could barely believe my eyes: FastFinish was using Athletic.net for results. Gone was the ABOMINATION that was the worst website ever designed and in was a pleasant user experience. A turnaround greater than if Hamline were to win a MIAC title I daresay...
70 -
Hopefully Fast Finish Results can figure out how to use that for track too!
Several MIAC teams open up this weekend.
The heat wave in Sioux Falls will make for unpleasant running for the Carls and Saint Mary's. Racing at 9:00 pm may help, but it should still be in the mid 80's
Bethel, St. Scholastica, and Macalester will all open at St. Olaf tomorrow night. This is typically a workout for the Oles, but with stronger competition they may actually decide to race. The Calvin/Lars vs. Will Kelly and Tor Olson battle should be a good early test for the men of the North

tor olsson abroad and crotteau stress fractured. mac will have to wait until next year for their top 2-3 bid.
