As the month of June wraps up and the heavy mileage starts in July. Who will take the XC title in the GLIAC this fall? SV's men return a young squad, GV men are reunited with an old friend and new additions, and Michigan Tech men loses 2 of their top 5. Are there any sleepers from Wayne that can show up for contention?
GV will win easily on both sides not really much of a discussion here
What will the top-10 all conference marks look like?
There isn't going to be a season, stop trying to tell yourself otherwise.
Michigan tech is redshirting 3 of their top 5 this season Could the young runners step up?

And GV will win they will have 4 sub 14:10 caliber runners with their 5 being not far behind. They should win natties as well
grand valley is pretty good. I know a guy who ran there and he's a pretty good runner, and a pretty good guy.
GV might have their best team yet and will clean the floor with the GLIAC as per usual. But I honestly cant see them taking down Colorado Mines at nattys.
Anyone know if Enael is running XC?
If he is, my top 10 predictions go as follows:
1) Enael Woldemichael
2) Tanner Chada
3) Carlee Stimpfel
4) Braden Reichl
5) Isaac Harding
6) Colin DeYoung
7) Dayton Brown
8) Dennis Mbuta (if healthy)
9) Clayton Sayen
10) Ben Zaremba

I’ve heard enael is running and I’ve also heard Reichl and Sayen from MTU are redshirting
Also I would put Brock eves from park side into that top ten
I've heard Harding only has track eligibility, and even if he had cross he'd be first or second
According to TFRRS, Harding has one season of XC eligibility left. Also, you don't think Caleb Futter would place in the top 10? This is assuming the race actually happens.
I think Futter, Hylen, and Talbott will make it interesting at the back end. If Reichl is redshirting, that opens up another spot.
Away from the race, anyone know what happened to Coach Isaacson from Tech?
MTU does not have a coach as of right now, so how would they determine red shirts already?
What is the news out of Houghton? Given the recent success I would think this would be a high profile job for DII. I know it is secluded, but some guys like that.
Isaacson is gone, heard it was booze related. Shame for the athletes there. Wonder what will happen now, especially with covid.
Yeah, we will see about MTU possible redshirts. I was thinking Futter would be more of a top 5 finisher. Hopefully the season happens.
Red shirts were determined before Jake Isaacson left. You're right, the status of red shirts could change, but is unlikely.
New coach hiring process is underway.
Anyone hear any news on NCAA cancellations regarding the GLIAC? Conference only? Spring XC? Cancel season?
The NCAA season is on and they have confirmed championship dates, etc. It's up to the conferences and schools to decide individually if they compete. Likely be about 60% that do and 40% that don't based on reports from different conferences.
