BC women ran great as a team. Nice surprise.

You, my friend, are an asshole.
if princeton makes it for an at large bid, does that mean the cornell boys make it to nats? or does the at large bids mess everything up?
no way cornell's making it coming in 4th. it'll be a stretch for providence to make it if they pick up enough at large points.
ok i meant their duo of 14th and 15th place, for indiv, sorry shoulda cleared that up.
will hyde and brad make it?
who qualified individually on the womens side?? it looks real close

Good pack running by Dartmouth men today. Almost took it to Iona. Nice.
Wow, seems like Rojo's boys really came through today. Didn't qualify, but they sure had a fine race for the end of the season. I'm impressed, I wasn't expecting to see that after the last couple of races they have had.

Yea they ran really really well. Just were missing that #5 guy to give them a 3rd place finish.
"Almost" isn't quite good enough...

Are you kidding me? Iona shouldn't even be allowed to go. The NCAA should adopt a rule, no more than one foreigner per team. You people are an embarassment and a joke to AMERICAN Universities. Go Darmtmouth, Go Cornell. And skrew all those Limey's and Mc's from Providence too.
How was the course? Dry?
but not terrible. A few rough spots and generally soft, but loads better than it has been for a lot of the season. the times of at least the first two runners should indicate that. It probably slowed the race down a small amount, but not a lot - talking seconds.
anybody got a link to complete results? thanks
What has happened to Bruce Hyde?
It's not just a "this season thing" either, faded in Outdoor as well?
Iona is not an "American" University. It is located in America, but is a Private Catholic college, so no American Tax dollars go to funding any of its teams.
Your logic is also a bit skewed because both Dartmouth and Cornell have had Canadian runners, but I guess in your stupidity, you did not figure Canada to be a different country.
One more thing, the word "skrew" is actually "screw".
From what I saw and overheard, Columbia women going out intentionally easy. Their top 2 were around 14-15 at the mile. Then they worked their way up. The difference in the meet was the PC girl sprinting past the two of them right at the finish. That dropped them to second place as a team.
Donaldson had a rough week, picked up an infection from bad heel blisters after Heps. Spent some hospital time on IV to treat the infection, thus missing a week of practice. Should be ready to go for finals.
Valiant race by the Quinipiac girl. She just didn't have enough kick up the last straightaway.
The match between Fagan and Kiplagat was classic. Fagan did all the work until the last 600M, Kip right on his shoulder the whole way. Going around the field Kip would open it up to 5M then Fagan would storm back. Three times it looked like Fagan was broken but he still responded, Kiplagat just pulled away on the last straightaway. If someone else does the work at nationals Fagan might have a little more left at the end.
Excellent post and summary for both races. I would only add, and out of love for cross, that BC's 5th passed Columbia's 4th within the last 10m earning the difference to win.
