OFFICIAL 2021 PRE NATS THREAD

Will ND actually run their team or will we continue to see any hint of entertainment value from our sport fly out the window yet again?

NAU

BYU

CU

Notre Dame

Arkansas

Alabama

Texas

Ole Miss

Princeton

FSU

Duke

Weber State

Georgetown

Montana State

Wake Forest

Charlotte

Then the rest. Some serious firepower up front. I am guessing Notre Dame holds out a few key men but is still in the mix. I could see Arkansas higher up. It was difficult to tell what they are by the race in Boston. Should be a fun weekend with this meet and Nutty.

Really showing love to Alabama even with a poor number 5. That's a bold prediction!

Georgetown had a poor race at Joe Piane. I expect them to be in the top 10 at Pre-Nats.

Do they plan to split the Garnet race or will they have a 600 person field?

1 race with 39 teams on the men’s side then 1 race with 36 on the women’s side.

Then a B race for both with bottom of the barrel teams and B teams.

I’m looking for some exciting and surprising results from this! I think there are some teams coming off poor races that are looking for a big day. Including some squads like Georgetown, Tennessee, and Ole Miss.

Some of the teams in the A race are confusing though, how did they get entered… South Alabama, Auburn

And why are the Alabama women and Texas women running in the B race rather than the A race?????

What about the Colorado women being in the B race? They're #5 nationally in the last USTFCCCA poll.

Flotrack is NOT showing the college races!!!!!!!! This is terrible

It's a big field and it's going to be close in the men's race with NAU edging out ND for the top spot. Mantz also does not win with Wildschutt taking the victory on his home course with Nico Young and Mantz close behind.

Florida State women get the team victory on the home course and NC's Brynn Brown wins individually. This sure would have been a better race with Colorado & Alabama. Maybe the Seminoles intentionally put them in the B race to have better chances for the team to win. For a coach to do that doesn't seem to make sense because you would think that you would want your team racing against the best available competition at the time. Hosts at other meets have done that before so it isn't out of the question.

I find it very hard to believe that the person who put together their prediction for the womens Pre Nat race that NAU is not listed in top 10 team tesults and that O’Neal not in too 20 individual results. Think they may have missed on these predictions.

That was me. My careless mistake. I missed NAU in the women's race. Also, the first time that I looked, the Colorado women were assigned to the B/open race. I'm going to need to go back and look at it again.

Check you also missed Arkansas, Colorado and maybe a few other teams

Here are the new predictions for the women. The early assignments on the timing site and the FSU site did not match up and I took the teams off of the timing site. The picks below are from the box assignments on the FSU site so they should be correct.

Colorado will win comfortably. A close race for places 2, 3, & 4.

These are some of the worst predictions I’ve ever seen on both the men’s and women’s side.

Don’t criticize unless you make your own predictions, chucklehead…

O’Neil will win the race, and NAU will win both team races. NAU girls way under rated. Brown will not be in the top 5 for UNC
