DeSales (21/51 last year) is gonna be a big sleep this year. I’m not just saying that because I run for them but... we have a good shot to make a run. We are returning every single runner with 12 incoming freshman which will have us at 33 guys on the team. Gonna be tons of depth and I expect if everything goes according to plan we should have 3-4 guys in the 25’s this year.
Bro you're a 16:40 runner lmfao
So looks like the season will probably be canceled. Would anyone want to organize some informal cross country meets?

Hopkins & Dickinson have just suspended fall athletics until a final decision is made in September. But Haverford has canceled their fall season as a school
“ Haverford College, like many of its peer institutions, has made the decision to cancel all competition for the first semester of the '20 -'21 year. We realize that cancelling sport competition for the first semester is not the decision you had hoped to hear, even if not unexpected. We admire, appreciate and respect your dedication and commitment to being a student-athlete at Haverford – this is no easy task. Please know that Haverford has taken unprecedented steps to support the health and safety of our community as classes resume on September 8 and while this was an extremely difficult decision, it was made after much deliberation and with your and the rest of our community's safety as the number one priority.”

welp, Dickinson announced today that all classes will be online for the fall semester, so the conference decision is irrelevant. At least now it's literally impossible for them to choke at regionals this year
So this leaves what… Hopkins (pending Centennial decision), York, Widener, & Etown
Hard to imagine Hopkins going through with it, given their crowded location and the fact that their students come from all over the country and world.

Don't forget DeSales
If Hopkins pulls out and there’s still a Mideast meet who wins? York… they returned their entire varsity team. Widener lost Frank Livolsi (their low stick). And Etown’s Big 3 graduated (Gerstenbacher, Myers, & Coverdale). How long has it been since Hopkins, Haverford, or Carnegie hasn’t won?
Who wins individually between Haines & Galligan?
Can’t forget DeSales though. Are they the new Gettysburg?
It's looking like the season will be canceled and that sucks but let's do something about it. It's late July so there's enough time to organize some informal meets. All we need is a venue and a place to sign up.
I'm sure a bunch of guys still want to race and there's time to sort out all the logistics. Keep Training.
I think we can just all agree Desales would have won the region in a resounding fashion and just move on. Desales 2020 DIII National Cross-Country Champions.
