Anyone have a guess of how many seconds difference there is between the two? I'm just trying to compare finishes...

D2 Regionals...5th place time 2000-2006 (removes variations in the strength of the top runner in any given year)...10k...similar weather conditions each year:
--2000 32:26 FP
--2001 32:07 FP
--2002 33:11 VCP
--2003 31:32 FP
--2004 31:58 FP
--2005 31:53 FP
--2006 31:26 FP
We're back at VCP next November. Will be interesting to see how this develops.
haha thats why I asked partially....I'm d2
Along the same lines, is the VCP college course the same one the used for TAC nats in '90? For that matter, is the West regional the same they used for USATF nats in '94?
vcp is a lot slower but when we had the d2 regionals were there last time we didn't use the correct 10k course, we used another made up loop, thats distance was questionable. also uml had a real solid team, 6th at nationals that year that made the 5th place finisher much faster then in other years, all other things equal.
I'm pretty sure the 10k course we used back in 2002 was 2 loops of the "Footlocker/PSAL 5000 meter course" shown on this map:

. I remember twice around the back hills, the finish next to the street, and the start sort of in the middle of the field to the right of where the 3 mile mark is shown. I can't remember the 6k course we used, although I do remember the women running the back hills section once.
The NE region coaches have requested the same courses for Regionals next November. I was hoping for at least once up Cemetery Hill but doesn't look like that will happen.
NJ is right about Lowell having their best result at NCAA's in many years that year. Considering that probably made the region stronger up front in 2002, based on the times above I suspect the course was a little long.
