My gut tells me the Michigan ladies are better than they have shown ( while avoiding the big meets) but not quite as good as Minn. I like your order.

I agree. Good job.

I don't see anyone beating Ohio State but I'm glad the OSU UM game may mean something for a change.

I'd put Magness over Hasz, and Gram over the Michigan trio, but both are close calls.

Graham might be 5th, I probably put her a couple spots too low. Magness is terrific but I’ll stick with B Hasz in a kick with a Big Ten title on the line.

Men Individual

7 J. Davis Illinois

Davis 5 seconds behind Wildschutt to get 2nd @ Notre Dame. Wildschutt 2 seconds behind Mantz @ prenats ∴ Davis 7 seconds behind Mantz.

The 2 races he ran this year he went 23:22 & 23:11 on legitimate courses. He got 2nd place in B1Gs last year after seemingly giving up the 7th k and then deciding he still wanted to win running a 2:44 last k to lose by less than a second.

You have him 7th place in the conference?

Chill out, Francis. making picks is a crapshoot and overlooking someone is easy to do if they're not an expert.

I'll rejigger my predictions if it will unwad your panties.

No Liking from Wisconsin

Dude, transitory property of racing times is not a thing, so the 2+5 seconds from different races is pretty weak analysis, even if you have good reason to believe that this particular prediction was way off.

Anyone know why the men's race is 5.2 miles on not a standard 8k? I found the women's 6k course map and it looks like one big loop with a couple cross sections.
