NAIA NATIONAL TEAM PREDICTIONS

You've got Azusa ninth? Well, this is certainly a sound ranking system. These rankers are evidently the same people who predicted that the Arizona Cardinals would win their division.

The fact that you have Masters in 15th and 18th should give one pause. I just don't think they're deep enough to get both 15th and 18th.

is one of those cedarville on the mens side cornerstone, because there is two cedarville\'s a only one cornerstone.

an no cornerstone sorry

Egads, pyys to double-check before going to lunch.

Will this be the year a West Coast squad takes it all?

It won't be unless CUI steps up big time.

Cedarville will beat Malone at Nationals and they will go sobbing back to Canton.

Just like they did in '88 when Anderson and Walsh beat them for 3rd and 4th to Malone's 5th.

OK I will go ahead and say it since no one else has. CS San Marcos is not that good. they will be around 7th or so even if they have a good day, if they are off, like I think MOST west coast teams will be, 10th. I would put Oklahoma Bapt. as 3rd and Azusa as 5th.

Cedarville does not stand a chance against Malone. If you look at the following year and decade Cedarville was doing all the crying.

Womens predictions look pretty good 1-6. Those are all pretty good teams, but 7-15 are a bit tainted in your predictions. You can flip your 7-15 and thats more likely how its going to shape up. Woods was ranked #7 going into their regional meet and lost to #9 Mid America by 1 point. They fell to #12 and you have them at #15. Mid America is better than you have them as well. Asuza Pacific is over ranked in the final womens poll. They moved way up after finishing 2nd in their region to a strong #1.

Midwest runner,

You're letting your bias get in the way of making decent rankings.

Nationals will be a region 2 event.

If i had to put money down, I'd bet on Concordia... I mean, there is three of them.............

Azusa Higher - 5th

OK. Baptist Higher - 4th

Concordia (OR) Higher - 10th

British Columbia Higher - 12th

how many concordias are there?

There is only one true Concordia. That is Concordia CALI.

well congrat's to Concordia if they can win with Grandpa running

grow up,

there are concordia's all over the world, just because you have some skinny distance runners doesnt make you any better.

your academics suck and you live in one of the least sustainable areas in the world

ahhhh thank u, i was gonna say that too, CSUSM overrated

This just in:

The following are the official results for this year's NAIA 2006 Cross Country National Championships. I know they haven't run the race yet, but through a peculiar vortex reinhancment from the winter soltice chart of elements...a synap co-axial modulation created a sort of "pre-linear global time fold" where snippets of events are seen before they actually happen. Last time I remember it was during the Truman/Deway presidential election. Anyway, I have seen a tape delay recording of this year's race. Here's what happened: I don't like it anymore than you do, but I won't argue with science.

1) VIC-I wish this weren't true. I'm a big GSAC fan. But those guys just have too many horses. It is a close race, but they win again.

2) Concordia, California-They lose by just a little but run a great race. You guys can be proud. Handler gets seventh.

3) Aquinas-Again, I'm not particularly happy about this, but its what I saw. None of them did spectaculary but their top 5 all bunched up around 20-60th.

4) Azusa Pacific-Rono and a supporting cast of pale white guys run a good race.

5) Cal-State-San-Marcos-4th and 5th is decided by only several points.

Aron Rono beats David C. from VIC and some runner from Mid-something (I couldn't read the jersey very well) by 10 seconds. It looked like Rono was wearing street shoes, for crying out loud!

Finally, and I saw this as clear as yesterday: The squad from Mariposa School of Applied Textiles shows up at the meet. They actually make it all the way to the starting line before officials ask them to leave. There is a lot of commotion and booing, which delays the race for several minutes. Finally, a compromise is struck, allowing them to run if they will agree to clean up after the award's ceremony. Three of their runners finish...and a good time was had by all...I hope you all enjoy the race as much I did...

the race will be delayed... thanks for the heads up, i'll start my warm up a bit later
