2025 GMAC XC/TF

Xesty Xavier’s been spending a little too much time with Mitchel Dihman

Walsh and Tiffin along with Ashland look to be competing for the gmac in two weeks with Hillsdale as a sleeper. Findlay is mid. Malone was looking really good before the season with that 2023 freshman class becoming upper classman but no one seems to get better, a lot of those guys are actually getting worse. Coaching is questionable

Less than 2 weeks out from Gmac and most teams have wrapped up the regular season. If anything, teams racing this coming weekend run the risk of negatively impacting their Conference performance.
The way I see it, this will be a close 5 horse race. Given the right conditions and performances, any of these teams have a good chance at the GMAC throne.

A big question rn is will Foehl race? If he does race and is in top form, Walsh will surely take the GMAC title, but without him it’s really anyone's game. They did beat out Ashland by 1 point at Lock Haven without him but it appears Ashland has really been improving their 4,5 since then. Cedarville has been quite recently but keep in mind that they beat Ashland twice this season. Taking a three week break from racing is definitely an interesting move but we’ll see if it pays off for them.
Tiffin was only 13 points behind Walsh at Lewis this weekend. It will be interesting to see how these points would shake out at a smaller meet like GMAC. Low sticks like Ramon and Ginane won’t carry as much weight but in the same way, their 3-5 won’t rack up as many points with less competition.
Hillsdale is somewhat of a wild card. They’ve had some impressive performances (especially from Phillips), but have remained mostly hidden not racing against any major gmac teams

At the end of the day XC is a 5 man sport. We have a pretty good idea of how the top 10 individuals will shake out but this meet will be riding on how team’s 4th and 5th runners perform. Some key performances to look out for: Pinkerton and Snopik from Ashland, Douce and Houghton from Tiffin and if Foehl will race. GMAC is gonna be a brawl and I’m beyond excited to see how this meet shakes out. Let me know your thoughts. Who am I sleeping on?

Even on their worst day....Luigi and the Dragons couldn't catch Walsh. Just wait until Xavier gets out of the hot tub for GMACs.

Not to be forgotten, Little Luke Hamley looks like a solid JV guy.

Cavs by a million in 2 weeks.

Ashland had been keeping a 23:30 guy in their back pocket the entire fall.

Keller is officially dead. Shop arellek.com

The best case scenario would be all of you scrubs getting hurt and then Merrick Shorter wins GMACs

Anyone else notice how Tiffin only lost to Walsh by one spot at Lewis, but are five spots behind them in the national rankings? Make it make sense

Walsh didn't have their top guy when that happened...

If Foehl ran, even if he only got like 60th, they would’ve finished at least 7th. If Tiffin was missing either of their 2 for some reason they would’ve finished 23rd

Hola Luigi mi amor. Nos drogamos el viernes?

This is the longest we’ve gone without something getting deleted. Thanks Mario Del Luigi

2025 GMAC XC championship predictions/ Preview.

TEAMS

1 Walsh- too much fire power especially is foehl runs. The poopas twins and Kyle woods should be enough to win this title Noah graham will have to race better as their 5 man.
2 A$$land- didn’t know these guys would actually be good. After years of being horrible they finally got some pieces and look to challenge Walsh. Their top 3 is lethal but will 4-5 step up and who will it be?

Hillsdale- Phillips is a threat to get 2nd overall and their squad looks deep. Where is Ross Kuhn??? They should get no worse than 3rd I could see them beating A$$land tho.

Tiffin- the best 1-2 in the conference from their 25 year olds with the worst 5 I’ve seen in a while. Their top 2 should carry enough weight to get them 4th but will be very hard to move up with their current 5 man.

cedarville- a month off of racing who knows what we will see from them. Last time we saw them they looked horrible at parkside but they did beat A$$land 2 times early this year. If their joeys can run good they could def challenge a top 3 finish.

findlay- these guys have really fallen off from their preseason rankings. Idk what to expect after this whacko season they have been running. They seemed to be faster than what they are racing especially after that Lewis performance.

Malone- horribl horrible horrible the pack running doesn’t work when the pack goes 26:30. U can’t go out in 24:45 pace then fall apart after 2 miles this team is buns they will be lucky to beat ODU.

Any predictions for the women's teams?

Cedarville

People be saying, “tiffin only has two good runners” when they literally have two good runners. #makeitmakesense

If Ashland wins I’ll rub Sussy’s beard

If Walsh wins I’ll shove their team flag up my

If Findlay wins I’ll get Oily on the course

If Tiffin wins GMAC I’ll shave my balls and take an obscene amount of EPO on the spot

If Malone wins I’ll dedicate my life to Jesus Christ

If Northwoods wins I’ll commit b**********

If ODU wi…. Wait

Schmidt stirring the pot on strava?
