Who can beat NC STATE this fall?

OK State will beat them

University of New Mexico

I don't think so, other than Roe and Cook, there are no other good distance runner on OK State rooster. This year, only 1 runner broke 16 in the 5k, no runner under 9:50 at 3k, and no runner under 33 minutes at 10k.

University of Alabama as well if they get a 4/5 close to their top 3.

they got a real strong 1/2/3

In my opinion, there is no team that is even close to NC State's Top 7, they easily take the dub when things go as planned, but it isn't always the case. Their top runners could fall or have a bad day etc.

The only team that could beat NC State is NC State.

They are a #3 team imo

I wonder how long they can hold the streak. There won’t be a Tuohy, Chmiel, or Starliper at some point

Number 3 is Colorado

No one can or will beat them, they might as well give the trophy to NC State at this point rather than going through with a season.

I have thought about them too as they have a home course advantage, but I doubt it would be enough to run away from a team with seven all-americans.

NC State came in second at this very same course on the 2020 XC Championships that was held on March 2021. They got beat by BYU. NC State has some unfinished business with this course, surely they want to come up on top this year.

If they are healthy, no one is beating them this year.

Starliper as the third runner, Sam Bush might have something to say on that.

They are looking healthy, and Kelsey Chmiel is now healthy.

New Mexico will win the title

Tuohy fans claim that female runners always improve with age and OK State has a world record on their roster.

It doesn't matter what Roe and Cooks (or Tuohy) does. The winner will be the strongest at 3-4-5. NC State, maybe NM unless they lose some of their top runners.

That's why I pointed out that OK State has a world record holder in its 3-4-5.

Alright, who will be OK State’s 3-4-5?

I think their top 5 will be:

1. Cook

2. Roe

3. henteman

4. born

5. McConnell
