They will win the Division II national meet quite handily this year over a good Western State team. Alfred Rugema will not win the individual title though. There are a lot of hungry runners out there. How does that sound.

Abilene Christian will indeed win Division II. Except for the fact that you misspelled Abilene and identified their runners as Kenyan when they are from Burundi, you are correct.
rugema ran 13:37 in 2001 and ran well last year with very little training. word on the streets is that he is fit as can be and i see him having no trouble winning. others may be hungry, but all they are gonna eat is their words.
Rugema can't possibly still be eligible, he's on like his 8th year.
I believe he has no track left, but he does have one year of XC. Could be wrong, but I'm almost certain he's running XC.
Nick Cordes will take top individual honors
you all are crazy, true abc is very good, and capable of winning a title especially when they return their top 5 from last year. But how can you seriosly count out Western State they also return 5 and have won the past two years!!! A lot of people are hungry but its not like Western is satisfied. Stop disrespecting the defending national champions, i think they are probably prett fit too!
can a american win it?.....if so it will be cordes from ashland in ohio
Who is Nick Cordes and where the heck is Ashland?
The names that should be dropped are Aaron Rowe and Eberly.
cordes is a legit guy who may not run with the overage international and still eligible(?) students but will surely be one of the top american guys. Rowe may not be top 10 after summer of mono but he should be back to top 50. The foreign overaged international field at dII this season will be a major impact. The All Americans status could be going back to the upper 40s.
who all has tons of all american foreign guys? western has only a couple, abilene has about 5, harding has 2-3, kennesaw has a couple. who am i leaving out?
after yesterday, you cant count out jacob rotich. he ran a 23:56 at the missouri southern stampede just getting outkicked by daniel lincoln. he only ran 24:45 there last year and will become very dangerous once he starts interval work.
Keses of Wester Washington has to be considered. Killed everyone @ Sun Dodger...
