NC State XC Scrimmage Race on Sep 1

Irrelevant. No one will see this race and result

Tuohy

The better question is who will make their top 7.
Top 6- easy to predict
Tuohy
Chmiel
Starliper
Seymour
Bush
Shaw (15:33 5K)
7th spot seems to be up for grabs.

I dunno about that, Sam Bush looking so strong lately with altitude training. I pick Bush over Tuohy!

Agree on the top 5. Shaw is not a lock for 6th or 7th. Even though she just ran a 15:33 5k outdoor a couple months ago, she has yet to run really good in the 6k in cross, and only has a cross PR of 20:48. Shaw was about the 8th best runner last year in cross, and was beat out by Holt who is returning. Hopefully Shaw can finally put it together this fall. I think she will, and she is past some of the "mental demons" she has talked about.

I think Brooke Rauber (redshirted last fall) is someone to look out for to be in the top 7. I predict Rauber is 6th and Shaw 7th.

I saw they were running 70+ mpw at 8,000 ft. But does high altitude really matter? If altitude was a secret to success then shouldn't Abby Nichols who ran 15:14 early this year should have won the 5000m?

Tuohy won it without altitude training. So, I think this XC season, Tuohy will just be fine.

Seymour over Bush ?? Bold take.

Bush over Tuohy ?? A bolder take.

I didn’t put them in order

oh ok

Top 5 are pretty much locks to make the team. As for spots 6 and 7 I believe Quarzo is an underrated runner who has steadily continued to improve and is definitely a contender (she ran 10k at nationals beating Allie Hays who was xc top 3 in the prelim).

omg theres a thread already, but does someone have more info about their "unofficial" first race? who is running with whom? which course will it be? will there be livetiming? coz i really have no clue about this scrimmage, hopefully we see the results at least

nc state vs nc state

really want to know the line up of each group - nc state has 21 runners on their rooster including the freshmen, so theres gotta be 3 teams!

Open image

It is a TT. They all run against each other.

i mean, results should be shared right ?? many teams does scrimmages privately but the fact that its on their official schedule means there will be public results coz if not, why even put it on the schedule right?

plus too be fair, everyone wants to know the results, including the top distance programs, i think nc state will be the first to race this season, even tho its like "unofficial" first race

There are no results for scrimmages. They probably won’t even wear team uniforms.

I don’t think you know how completely meaningless scrimmages are.

Its basically just a workout.

Most teams run a preseason TT. NC State isn't doing anything special.

no, i dont think you understand lmao

everyone knows what a scrimmage is, BUT WHAT YOU'RE NOT GETTING IS THAT NC STATE HAS NEVER ADDED "SCRIMMAGE' on their official schedule, ever, check it.

so the fact that they added "scrimmage" for the first time on their schedule, it means that possibly... there will be public results ... coz if they will not show public results, WHY would they even put it out on their schedule

DUH, GET IT?

lmao what about it being special or not, its my team, whether it excites you or not doesnt matter, coz it excites me .. and um you're here so you care
