What's up with that 4:15 high school 1600m runner going to Franciscan?
1) who/what is a Franciscan?
2) I'm guessing he ran 4:15(1600?) outdoors... Either way 4:15 was like 30th on the INDOORS list, and unless he is able to drop 3 seconds off his PR INDOORS after only a couple month with a new program he is totally irrelevant.
NEXT!
Franciscan had this guy a couple of years ago, who was pretty good.

I saw in the results from yesterday that Hird was NCCs top guy at their invite. What gives? I swear this guy must be 30 years old by now, I feel like he has been running for them for at least 10 years. I get there are loopholes and stuff but this is a bit ridiculous at this point.
He had at least two older brothers run for NCC. Nick and Tim.
You forgot about me you jerk!
Tuition is buy three get one free at NCC.

Is it just me or are FloTrack's DIII rankings making more sense than the USTFCCAA rankings?
Completely agree
Its September. Many teams haven't raced yet. Ranking mean nothing until mid to late October.

"It's Septeeeeeeeeeember. Many teams haven't raced yettttttttt. Rankings mean nooooothing!"
Nerd.

4:15 is pretty good for an incoming DIII freshman. Only ran high 16's in high school for XC and already ran 25:40 somethin. Don't sleep on him

Don't get me wrong, 4:15 is a very good D3 recruit. But "Don't sleep on him"? what... do you think he will do damage his freshman year? No, let's sleep on him for a good 1-2 years and if... IF his program is able to develop him into someone that can qualify/score at a national meet lets talk about him. But this is XC season I don't want to be reading about some freshman that ran a time that might be all-region but not make nationals. 25:40 is solid, but there are plenty of other freshman worth talking about before this kid. A wartburg freshman broke 25... So why are we talking about some kid from a school majority of the country has never heard of?
Rumor has it that people are flocking to the Pre-nats meet this year because no one knows what the course looks like... Should be a good meet to look at in a month or so with a lot of top ranked teams going head to head. From the early bird results it didn't look like a slow course like it is made out to be. To bad NCC went early. It would be nice to see them go at it with SUNY, and Eau Claire before nationals

The real question: which team has the sickest beats? I hear Amherst has been dropping straight fire

I also heard they have a dope email chain.
7 of the top 11 teams will be at Pre-Nats
Does anyone know anything about the Purdue Cross Country course or if it's fast or not. I looked at the results from the meet today and I thought Wabash and Depauw would do better.
Maybe they are training hard
What about Hillary's emails?
I don't get why everyone is hyping North Central. They just got demolished by WashU. WashU is a good team, but after Flotracks love letter you would think it would have went the other way around.
