I'm wondering wrote:
What's up with Nico Young? Losing to Bosley, placing 9th, and being 15 seconds behind his teammate Nur isn't where I thought he would be at this point. I wouldn't say he's done poorly in his last 2 races, but he's probably going to have to step it up if he wants to be in the mix for the individual win next month.
What's up with Nico? Oh, he was so far back and "only" ran 23:12! Oh, the horror of it!
Nico will be fine and I'll bet he'll finish higher than 9th at the NCAA Champs - when it really counts.
I'm more curious about Brodey Hasty running in the open race and finishing 7th behind two of his teammates. It looked like he was coming along late last winter and in the early spring. His top 50 finish at the NCAA was key to NAU beating Notre Dame at the NCAA XC Championships. Bosely was 67th at that meet so if Hasty was behind him the end result would have been more interesting.
