To bad for them that their entire varsity squad got hit with the swine flu, the avian flu, mad cow disease, SARS, and the bubonic plague all at the same time.
I've done plenty runs with avian flu. Not worried.
Feline AIDS... now that shit is scary...

How does CMU have such good teams year-in,, year-out. What kind of runners (times?) were these kids in HS?
16:30
9:50s
?
well, cmu is an elite academic school. as such, they pull a much wider net so far as applications, recruits, etc.

A little rain never hurt anyone. Who cares about Ida?? I heard that the swine flu has taken down half the roster of all the top 7 teams. Maybe this is Salisbury's chance to pull an upset???
word on the street is that the Salisbury Seagulls got the bird flu
how ironic

Huh, I guess with so many contagious diseases going around looks like Thiel has a shot.
i guess we've run out of stuff to talk about.

I agree.
The quality of this thread seriously went downhill quick. It was taken over by stupid people just looking to troll the boards and see how many ignorant posts they can make. I highly doubt anyone who has posted stuff about swine flu, Messiah College's secret strategy, or Individual champions who don't even run D3 anymore are just a bunch of washed-up has-beens who never broke 15:45. Get a life.
We'll see what happens Saturday. I'd expect that top runners from any of the teams that have a shot at being Top 5 would NEVER waste their time on this message board or even worry about what the morons who post in this thread say.
I'm not making any predictions about how they'll finish. I just know it's going to be a hell of a race. I won't be surprised any results. Too many good teams. I love this sport. I love this region.

Not sure how feasible expecting Messiah's 4-5 to get under 26:15 is. Their 4th and 5th placed 17th and 22nd at MACs. Do you really think that sets them up for a 26:15 type performance?
I actually was being serious. Messiah's 4 guy was sick, and was even further back. Their 5 guy was a former D-1 runner getting back into shape and had an awful race. Those guys could go right between 26:00 - 26:20 if they are healthy and good to go.

I can not believe you took that post seriously...
it was serious, see the previous post. it's not that ridiculous.
Yea - thread went down hill quick. I think my post about possible individual contenders in the men's race was one of the last decent inquiries in to the dynamics of the race. Any thoughts?

Assuming the following teams are in, who other than those listed (in no particular order) are the top individuals in contention for nationals?
Allegheny, Dickinson, Haverford, Carnegie Mellon, Elizabethtown
Paul Thistle – Susquehanna
Chris Wasnetsky – Scranton
Tyler Newhook – Messiah
Jeffrey Smeiles – Messiah
Andrew Ferretti - DeSales
Steve Tobochnik – John Hopkins
David Sigmond – John Hopkins
Garrett Cichowitz – Grove City College
I looked at the MAC, Landmark, Centennial, PAC, and CAC the list above is what I came up with … happens to be eight guys but there should be others as well. Any thoughts?

Some very good picks in that group. I think there are a few more sleepers out there, but good ol' Saturday will tell that story.

Wow. Very insightful commentary there. Highly Contarian in nature....
This is going to be a hell of a meet. Even though Haverford laid an egg of massive proportions last week, I think it's fair to include them in the discussion with Dickinson and Allegheny. Call me crazy, but:
Dickinson and Allegheny tie. Haverford a very close third. CMU 4th, Etown 5th. Karwoski wins the individual title.
Gators gonna eat 'em up
results?
word is:
1. allegheny
2. CMU
3. haverford
4. dickinson
apparently dickinson's 5-guy dropped out w/400 to go, not sure what happened
individuals: allegheny 1-2, that's all I know
Thank goodness this race is over. I'm tired of this thread. Its be on the front page for months. D3 guys really are losers. geesh
Any word on 5th place?
59 Allegheny
69 CM
83 Haverford
90 Dickinson
Close hard fought race. Haverford recovers from Dickinson's thrashing at the Centennial Conf. meet.
bump...any further results?
