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

Is that the guy from Chicago? Did he run cross-country this fall?

Recent NYU men's results (from their website):

https://www.nyu.edu/athletics/teams/track/m/stats/539

At this meet: no NYU throwers, no vertical jumps, no hurdles, nobody competitive in short sprints or horizontal jumps. NYU still tied for second in the meet, while having a lot of guys apparently run off-distances. (They didn't run anyone in the 5k, for instance.)

If NYU is strong enough in the mid-distance/distance/relay events, can they win the UAA anyway? Will the other teams split up the points in the "explosive" events, leaving NYU to pick up the distance points? Or is any UAA team particularly strong in the jumps/hurdles/throws/sprints, so they don't even have to worry about the distance points?

Sorry, don't know much about the UAA women--NYU women haven't competed yet?

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.

I thought it was University of Alaska-Anchorage.

Yes, University of Alaska-Anchorage is also called UAA (I went there). I\'ve never heard of University Athletic Association before.

University of Alaska-Anchorage on the up and up. Damn right.

Wash. U is usually pretty well rounded.

Boj is back ripping workouts. Look Out! He's creepin on the come up.

NYU men at Mets--same lopsided squad, multiple provisional qualifiers:

NYU women (first meet of season) at Colgate--scarily bad:

Pretty sure they're coached by different guys--the disparity between the two programs is striking. The men are unlikely to win the UAA until they are competitive in more events, but they might be the top UAA team at Nationals; right now (granted, it's early), the women are looking like last place in the UAA.

How's Emory looking?

NYU Distance.....so Hot right now

yea... i dont know. i hear theres a cocky bulgarian who's gon blow em away in the mile

agreed....but will it be enough to counter WashU's all around depth? Probably not.

So NYU is hot right now

For somebody so interested, I'm pretty clueless (and also too lazy to look it up): where is the meet going to be? And will it be the last weekend in Feb or the first in March?

Brandeis in March

Whoa--NYU takes care of business at Yale: Phillips 14:27, DMR 9:58!

I believe those are both auto qualifiers (I'm sure the 5k is, and I can't believe a sub-10:00 DM would get knocked out of the field). Way to go, Violets!

truth. nyu is so hot right now. but where is abdullah? i'm sure once he toes the line, it will be domination for nyu distance across the nation.

Abdallah + Phillips = Domination in the 5K

how much faster do you think that dmr can go?

From his other results, their 800 guy looks like the real deal--he might be good for another 3-4 seconds. Don't know enough about the other guys--those look like pretty solid performances from them, but I'd have to think they could improve some, at least!

Maybe NYU could approach 9:50? I notice that their 9:58 isn't even a school record! On the other hand, some of their legs may (likely?) be involved in individual events at Nationals.
