    they lose Bosley, Quax, Hasty.

    I'd be stunned if Nico Young came back for a 5th XC season so I gotta think he's gone too.

    not sure if Aaron Las Heras is a 2 year transfer or 1 and done. if he's gone that's another big loss.

    they keep C. Sahlman, Nyoak, Gorgas, Prosser. all solid but not exactly game changers.

    they have a talented young core - Aaron Sahlman, Washburn, Munson, Sherer, Clay Shively, though probably not all ready yet for the big stage.

    I gotta think some top transfers would love to come to Flagstaff and run for Smith. could be a very different looking team next year.

    I'd put money on Mike Smith getting a foreigner and the boards saying he's better than Dave even though he does the same thing.

    this was Aaron Las Heras's last year too. so that's 4 of their 5 scorers from Nats they lose (assuming Nico leaves)

    “A” foreigner is much different than FOUR of your top five. The NCAA needs to make a rule that five of the seven in your line up must have American citizenship.

    Nube.

    See UTEP, 1979 - 1984

    Get over it!

    If you think American collegiates need a currated, artificial XC nationals field absent of foreigners in order to win, then American distance runners will remain 2nd tier distance runners internationally.

    Our sprinters, throwers, and mid d guys don't need such currated fields to win NCAA, or internationally. Our top marathoner this year is barely faster than the world's fastest female.

    We need tougher competition, not weaker.

    This is why they put so much into the women's team.

    I feel like the womens team is due for a nice little run.

    that defeat might be the catalyst they use as motivation. before NC State went on their threepeat they got blown out at nationals by BYU.

    It tough to run against schools who bring in Kenyans. They clearly dominate.
