ACC XC Championships 2023 Discussion Thread

Looks like a nice relatively flat, fast course!

Thanks for posting the link.
Have you found a link to the SEC race?

It could be a critical point in team competition, between for example, Florida and NCState. It could flip a point down in NCState’s ledger.

??? If her team does not qualify where she finishes does not affect any team score. Like Valby last year was 2nd overall but did not count in team scoring so Chmiel was 2nd in team scoring.

Thanks for explaining that! It might be more interesting if all of the athletes, whether on a team or not, were able to score.

That course was exotic! Wonder if snakes hang from the trees, and if there are gators in that area?

They were saying Parker needed to drop the athletes with the better kick; turned out Parker had some extra in the tank left for a kick, too.

There is a pretty long hill, I think they cross it twice

I looked again yesterday and haven't found one yet.

The Tallahassee course was beautiful; it would be nice to see the SEC course (rather than just a few snippets.)

I like Carrie T., and she called the SEC race. I wonder if she will be doing the Championship again.

It was flat, flat and flat except for a ~5 step climb on the edges of fairways of a golf course - at least that is what I saw.

I said it in ACC thread but we all shoul dhope the cameras at the Nationals are as good as they were at ACC (which was on an ESPN channel).

You seem to have insight on the UNC women. Did Kelsey have a health issue after the the ACC meet that kept her out of the Region race?

Gee I am shocked it looks like Duke will not qualify and hence Maatoug will not affect team scoring. And yet some smart posters downvote a suggestion that might not happen.

I haven't been following unc this season. Kelsey Harrington had a great season last year, but she finished 40th at the ACC Championship. Must be battling injuries?
