this is a fact. there will be an airlift over new york and ben true will be delivered to the armory like christ or whoever, from his skiing escapades overseas in an attempt to notch dartmouth up 10 points. if this doesn't happen, i'll owe you all a dollar.
True's been base building all winter with Carmody. They're both opening up at heps, and planning to run a stacked dmr.

No....that's IMPOSSIBLE!
I think Maag/Nighingale will double 3k/5k and Wyner comes back strong in the mile. Cornell wins by 1 or 2 points.
Scherf? She quit the team. Spending the semester in Australia. Nursing injured foot. But running 115 miles a week. Thinks she's gotta be Paula the Marathoner before she's Paula the track runner. Too bad she's uncoachable, could've been a contender.

I think Michael Spence will win the 5k out of the slow heat. Oh wait, that was in 2000.
Which Ivy League women's team may not be competing at Heps this season?
some predictions...
mile: it's hard to say who will actually run this. since i don't know, i'll just take my darkhorse pick O'Callaghan from Yale. he's fierce. he bit me once. honest.
800/1000: kaijala wins whichever he chooses. though he's more vulnerable in the 1000. boylan-pett or gertzen could snatch the 1k if he falters.
3k: nightengale. completely untouchable in this event. will he come back for the 5k or the DMR on sunday? or possibly do mile trials before and finals on sunday? maag should take runner-up easily here too if he runs it.
5k: nobody likes to run the indoor 5k. nightengale and maag don't have times for the fast heat (i could be wrong) so they shouldn't be in there unless they feel like pacing each other in the slow heat (which is possible and they could probably go 1-2 that way). but i don't think they'll be in it, so i predict that the guy with the best time this year will be the best on that day, Gallagher from Yale. he will run a 27 for his last lap. that should be enough.
4x8: penn. good mid-d always.
DMR: the best (most exciting) race of the meet. too hard to predict.
those are some thoughts. good luck to all.
What's the answer?
Cornell is a state school! Not a real IVY!!!

Some of Cornell's colleges are State colleges. However, it is a member of the Ivy League (an athletic conference comprising Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale) and hence is indeed a "real" Ivy.

You must be from yale because some of your predictions are a little off.
1.I agree the mile is a toss up but even though he hasnt run it Boylan-Pett was 2nd in the 1500 last year and has run 345. You don't need to run the mile before heps to run well. Wyner did it last year.
2. I agree kaijala win whichever 800/1k he wants, however, he is more vulnerable in the 800. 1k is a joke event and no one can run 2:23 or better besides him. However, there are some guys who have run 1:51 lows and depending on how the race went out could make it alot closer than in the 1k. Running 2:27 doesnt mean shit so why would you pick a guy like Gertzen? How bout some of the top 6 from last years 1k?
3. Nightengale wins easily. It's harder to lead the 3k so maybe maag gets edged out by the buzz saw who has been racing well but it will be close none the less.
5. you're prediction for the 5k is indeed correct. Got to go with the time even though yale tends to be better at time trialing than racing in years past.
I can't wait to see what team bombs at heps this year.
Cornell = State schoolThey can get more athletes on their track team in through the state schools - lower standards and cheaper, just like any state school.Bruce Hyde was in the school of Hotel Managment - thats a freakin joke. They win HEPS track b/c they have a lot of numbers in the sprinting and field events. those events are not as competive as the distance events. They come in 5th in XC and nut off to Wyner.Ivy Leauge = elite northeast private schools. Cornell has by far the highest acceptance rate out of the other schools state school. Brown has the next highest accpetance rate and is a saftey school.

Actually, hotel management is the premier program of its kind in the world. and they make a shitload more money than graduates of whatever pathetic school you attend.
And not that many Cornell athletes are in the state schools. Other IVYs have a much easier time getting retards in.
And Lincoln Tech is the premier program of its kind and its graduates make $$$ working on cars and doing and welding. Maybe they should be in Ivies. Again I pointed to Cornells last place acceptance ratio as indication that they have easier standards. Lincoln tech probably has about the same. Good god, it may somewhat obvious what school i attended. I don't think cornell grads on average make more than my alma mater grads.Hotel managment is a joke school. No other Ivies have it thats why Cornell's is the best.

Yes, the hotel school is the premier hotel school in the world. Sort of like how Simmons College is one of the premier places to train to be a librarian. However, it's well known that the easiest route to an Ivy League degree runs through Cornell's hotel school. Do its graduates have hotel skills to pay the bills? Ccetainly. Is it hard to get into, relative to other Ivies? Definately not. Does this give Cornell an advantage. I'd say so.
-TFDM
Except that NOT ONE PERSON on the cc team is in the Hotel School.
My last post.
Did it ever occur to you that just because something is a state school doesn't mean that it is easy to get into? A state school means that it's funded by the state. That is all. It says nothing about the standards of admission.
