Dominating performance at DII nationals from the men. Might have been a podium team at DI nattys if they ran like they did today.
Women get third. Siemers = genius

Wow, won by 143 points. Did they race some D1 programs this year?
link to results please
LACCTIC.com has them at 28th in D1 nationals. If they ran well, maybe top 20. No guarantee they would qualify for D1 nationals, especially if they were in the Mountain Region.
He has a guy from Newdbury on the roster
D2 Nationals sounds like an oxymoron
You have to be a moron to NOT believe they would be top 15 D1.
Agree or disagree. I don't care.
You are clueless. Better chance that they don't qualify. ISU had 5 sub 14 guys and didn't qualify.

What is dumb is for you to believe that D2 should be at the level of D1. Plenty of D2 runners could compete in D1. Hell, there are more a handful of D3 runners that could be on D1 teams.
There are students that realize that they should be at a school that fits their needs - academically & athletically. They couldn’t care less about the “division.” You’re too stupid and too slow to be at any school.
Was at the meet and it was an impressive performance by Mines. Redemption after last years meltdown.
But I have to laugh at the dudes that say D2 is just a bunch of mongos running around when US News ranked Mines the same as BYU, and ahead of CU, San Diego, Arizona, Oregon, San Fran, Utah and Tennessee.
Queue the trolls saying that I cherry picked one school out of a ton of D2 schools.
Mines is indeed a solid XC program, but comparing 10k times from D2 Nats at Chambers Bay vs D1 at OSU isn't an apples to apples comparison. Top 15-20 would be a good result. Not qualifying would also be a possibility.
Mines had less than a minute gap from their first to seventh runner. Not only that but their sixth runner (Paul Knight) is a true freshman whose time of 30:17 was faster than Colin Sahlman's time in the D1 race by 20 seconds. But Knight never broke 4:20 for the 1600 or mile in HS so he obviously can't be fast :P
Mines had some big performances at nationals. I bet their Lacctic score rises a good bit after D2s gets added to the database. I think Mines sneaks into the top 10 on a good day but the same could be said for any team ranked in the top 20.
Dillon Powell is a monster and would absolutely be top 10 at D1s. He's been on a mission since his infamous DNF last year. The guy is going to go sub 28 on the track this year.
Is it possible to pay tuition at Mines in shtcoins or no?

Don’t agree with all the hate against D2 on these boards, but can appreciate this shout out to the late great George Carlin, who originated the oxymoron as insult- as in Military Intelligence, Legal Ethics, Chicano Power, etc.)

Yes it is.
Have you seen their training/volume? NONE of these kids run post-college.
They get engineering degrees and engineering jobs.
Also a mines alum has run in the 2019 marathon world champs and just had a different guy OTQ at CIM

Please elaborate as to why their training causes them not to run after college.
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
