Atantic Region XC - D3

how did the girls race pan out?

On a separate note, NYU held out its top 11 guys and still won East Stroudsburg's Nevins Invitational.

To this point ES's own website doesn't have the results of the Invite posted, so I can't supply much detail beyond what's on the NYU site. Interesting that Zach Maher, who won the race at East Stroudsburg, apparently is not in the Violets' top 11.

Women's Results

What a race for second!

Plattsburgh had the top boy and girl, impressive.

8.Buffalo State - having a sprinter coach doesnt help

good thing they dont have to measure courses for sprinters before they race...

...how embarassing

6800m

Is 6800m a guess? Or do you know this?

Does anyone have any idea what happened at the RPI Invitation at SPAC today?

I ran that race. 6800 might be a wee bit too short, but I would believe it. I would say this race was not over 7000.

RIT men win Saratoga with SLU only 9 points behind. Appeared to be a much better race for SLU compared to Albany last week. Lowe didn't run for RIT which would have put a little more distance in there. Jesse W. looked very strong again for RIT. He could put up a fight at Regionals.

Most impressive runs today were the Fredonia State women, Cortland men, and Oswego men

Fredonia's coach won women's coach of the year and he definitely deserved it. Blue Devils came from nowwhere to take 2nd in this thing.

Cortland men packed beautifully and made quite the statement on Geneseo. I was very impressed by the Dragon's performance and depth.

Oswego men won the battle for 4th sweepstakes beating out Plattsburgh, Fredonia, and Oneonta.

can you prove that a degree from Geneseo makes a difference in NYS? have you interviewed outside of new york state?

a hint to non-geneseo student-athletes: pick up a minor or second major, high GPA, and learn how to communicate your passions with others (plus researching potential employers will help too), while they are out there running.

we'll see how the suny schools turn out at bigger meets like regionals

Imposter!

Also: Excellent race today by Cortland, very impressive. I wonder if it would have turned out the same in better conditions? Either way, nice race. I get the feeling that Geneseo is going to be on the warpath the next couple of meets.

nally and cloke made the mistake of trying to run with deshane and fell back hard...greenlaw ran a great smart race kudos

Wiza waty (phenetic spelling) for all you awards people out there. Just won by well over a minute against the 3rd place girl in the country last year. That was crazy. People were just dead silent as she ran by rather than cheering. It was a bizarre thing to watch. Every other part of the race that went by was so loud with people cheering for their teams to move up and stay focused, but when she runs by and all you hear is the wind blowing and the squish squish of water from her steps. Then you start listening for the roar of the crowd from girls behind her. So you look up the course 50 meters to watch her then back for a chase pack nothing...100 meters away now...nothing...200 meters nothing...by now its getting close to a minute since she goes by and you cant even see her down the long straight away anymore. Thats when people start looking at each other not in awe but more like in confusion of how this could be happening. It was like she was just out on a training run by herself. To win by over a minute while running against the best team in the country and so many all-americans...I dont know maybe I just got caught up in the moment but that had to be the most dominating peformance I have ever seen at YACS.

Yeah, pretty crazy how much she won by. My question is, not being at the race, did Montgomery, etc. even try to stay with her? Or was she off by herself from the start? I'm just wondering if it was something purposeful, like Geneseo probably training through since they're trying to peak in a month, plus the muddy course, maybe Woods told them to hold back and not kill themselves.

Nevertheless, it was a killer run by her, and she was close enough to Liz at the Geneseo Invite that when those two race at their best at Regionals/Nationals, it will be a close outcome regardless of who wins.

Yes, how did the race go between Montgomery and Wiszowaty? I’m interested in how the individual women’s race at nationals is shaping up. Did Montgomery straight-up race yesterday, or did she hang back to try and pack up with the other Geneseo runners for part of the race? Where was Griggs? In any case, with the Atlantic women and Willamette’s Zersan it looks like Harren will have a race on her hands at Nationals.
