Nice job, UAA X-C! Now, what about TRACK?

watch for that Bojanov kid from my old neck of the woods to win 3 events at Indoor UAA's. He will just take it to everyone in the 800, mile and 3k, just like last year.

Brandeis will run really tough on their home track indoor, with their stable of MD guys.

WTF is UAA?

Bojanov will not win 3 events at UAAs. He may win zero. The conference is very strong in the 1500 and 3000 this year and not too shabby in the 800 either. NYU will certainly have him covered at 3k no matter who they run in it. Leventhal will win the 800 and even though Bojanov should win the 1500 there are many who could upset him including last year's outdoor champ McCarthy. If he wins all three of those events I'll eat my dirty socks.

University of Alaska Anchorage. They finished 15th, not bad. Go Seawolves!

University Athletic Association, a conference comprising eight DIII research universities: Brandeis, CMU, CWRU, Chicago, Emory, NYU, Rochester, WUSTL.

It's one of only two (as near as I know) conferences that have all of their members among USNWR's top 50 universities. The other is the Ivy League.

Distance sweep by nyu.

people who could break this up: emil, peck (is he running?), gale

How about that Williams kid, rumor is he won the outdoor 1500 the last time he toed the line at UAA's

Nerd alert.

Who cares, I am the Bulgarian National Champ at 1500, I will eat all other runners for Dinner with my steak, including you who calls us nerds.

Any UAA teams run December meets? I know the NYU guys are off until Jan...

we dont race till the 1/14 i think, so no. and the above post was not by me. that one guy should learn how to cook some good dirty socks, though, that's all im gonna say.

love,

Yeah Brandeis has rocked a few meets thus far, I think i saw a good 800 and a 1530ish 5k from someone.

anyone else?

Yeah, the seawolves did pretty well this year. I bet they won't have a great early track season as training in snow can be very difficult.

Okay, we've had a long-enough hiatus. What's happening in the UAA? Who's gonna surprise? Who's having a down year? Who are the contenders?

Trash talk, personal feuds, training tips, meets schedules, critiques of coaches, etc.--it's all good...

I thought it was University of Alaska-Anchorage.

Men:

NYU will dominate the distance events. I'm predicting they'll win the 1500, 3000, 5000, and dmr. Chicago and WashU fight will fight for the leftovers.

Women:

Case and WashU will carve up the the 1's and 2's amongst themselves, maybe Emory will be able to slip in the top 2 for a couple of the distance events.
