diii SOUTH/southeast region 2006 (part 2)

Pretty good predictions for the most part although I think you tended to group runners from the same school a little more "packed" than they will be, but who is McMurry? I've never heard of them, what conference are they in? Let's see some results if you're listing them top 4, also let's get some results from conference meets put up here. What did Nasiro-Sigo run?

Hagan Stone was a mess for the USA South meet. It rained here in Greensboro for two days leading up to the meet. Anybody who has run on Hagan Stone wet knows what it can be like. Husein has to be the favorite for the individual title.

As far as teams go, I haven't paid close attention this year but I do know one thing. Rhodes shows up at regionals every single year. That is one program that knows how to step up in the biggest meet of the year. Should be interesting to see how things turn out.

mcmurry had a couple of guys run at regionals last year. louis jones ran 26:53 and shane gruensfelder ran 27:10. those guys are now running 3 and 5 or 4 and 5, or worse, for mcmurry. their results are hard to find, bc the school either doesn't post them on its website, or they post bad links. but the team is good. they destroyed trinity and southwestern at the texas d3 championship. wheeler and mullens (both freshmen) from mcmurry beat brad robinson of trinity (26:18 at regionals last year) and aaron contreras of southwestern (26:07 at regionals last year). Interestingly, mcmurry lost its conference meet to UT Tyler, which doesn't typically travel to the regional meet. i may have overrated them a little bit, but the guys at umw will need to run their asses off to beat them.

Put Mahoney back on W & L's team, and Rhodes, W & L and McMurry are in a dead heat for 3rd -- assuming these numbers are right.

Centre should win the region handily...the real dogfight is going to be for second (Emory vs. Rhodes). Possibly coming down to the sixth man?

handily? i totally agree w/ you that they're the favorite...and money is on them to win, but interesting thing, rhodes beat them though 3 men at the conference, tied through 4...the 5th and 6th were way better though. sure, they win-but not by more than 15 i'd say...i guess you could say that's handily, but i'm not sure i would

It's hard to get a good measure of him since he never races anyone, but that Methodist kid has run some legit times. I believe he was also rolling with the leaders at nationals last year, eventually DNFed? Might be an All-American contender if he runs a bit smarter this year.

Sheftall and Warth from Rhodes will benefit from the easier course (as they are MD guys).

Does anybody know why Mahoney left W&L? Also, on a similar note, does anyone know why John Thompson left Centre to run at Kentucky?

Ties are not broken with the 6th man in college. Head to Head comparisons between the top 5 on the team. (1 v 1, 2 v 2, etc...) Best of 5.

"Does anybody know why Mahoney left W&L?"

I heard he wanted to be closer to his home in Singapore.

bump

gonna be a good race up top.

CAC Championships:

Mary Washington:

1. Justin Kirk 25:32

2. Frank Devar 25:38

8. Matt Downs 26:37

10. Matt Cash 26:42

14. George Winslow 26:53

15. Chris Badolato 26:58

19. Jake Pattyson 27:09

21. Luke Wolverton 27:13

In the CAC meet yesterday, Justin Kirk and Frank DeVar went 1-2 in 25:32 and 25:38, respectively. UMW had 4 other guys under 27 at Salisbury - Downs, Cash, Winslow, Badolato. Catholic also had 2 guys run very good races, both mid 26's. They won't be a factor as a team, but those two individuals might shake things up at Regionals.

CAC course was short? Anyone measure it?

Salisbury's course is exactly 8k

we've measured it many times and it's legit, having hosted the mideast region before its gotta be

the course is completely flat and fast so it's always a place to pr

kirk and Devar ran strong races and beat Salisbury's top 3 who are each pretty legit

Kirk looked strong coming across the line with his hands raised smiling and a few weeks ago all 3 Salisbury guys beat Devar so he's just getting stronger (you have him wayyy underranked)

Matt Downs had an off race so with him better at regionals they will do well

Salisbury won the meet 30-35 over Mary Wash and I'd say we have a really good team so I wouldn't put it past Mary Wash to get top 3 and hopefully sneak in for a qualifying spot

Thats complete bs im sorry. Just because its a championship course doesn't mean the officials try harder to make it the full 8k. This is evident per last year's south/southeast regional course. The problem is often not with your measuring but the way in which the course is actually run. It is likely that you are not measuring the shortest possible way to run the course. Either way, I agree that the performances appear strong by Mary Washington's top 2 and they could challenge for individual spots at nationals.
