I feel like I'm getting picked on.

stop posting then
I have to make sure that you child molesters aren't getting with little kids. You NAIA nut jobs are attracted to the litthe V-card.
What criteria do they use for these rankings? Cleary it's not race performance.
right, these "athletes" are not exactly high performers.
Why would say it is not performance. Most of the teams up front seem right. IT might get a little muddy in the back teams. There are no doubt a little politics involved. You have to remember that there are 7 raters and they each have their own opinion. Their are oversight comittees to get major mistakes. Other than that it does not seem too bad.
Yea who else is going to be at the Loyola meet other than Malone?
I was looking on the amc website and it lists Shawnee State as attending the Loyola meet along with Malone.
What happened to OBU?
its been discussed on another thread about the naia...something about only running 1 or 2 of their top 5 for various reasons.
Thought these results would be interesting.

1 Edinboro (PA) DII-#11 74 [ 7, 9, 17, 18, 23 ]

3 Cornerstone (MI)NAIA-#5 94 [ 2, 6, 11, 34, 41 ]

5 Concordia (CA)NAIA-#7 113 [ 8, 13, 16, 37, 39 ]
6 Wayne State (MI)DII-#24 123 [ 4, 25, 28, 30, 36 ]
7 Ind Wesleyan (IN)-NAIA#15 168 [ 14, 22, 35, 42, 55 ]
8 Mansfield (PA)-DII-NR 208 [ 15, 26, 47, 58, 62 ]
Mansfield is ranked 5th in the DII East Region. Three teams in the region are ranked.
Seems NAIA competes very well with DII, with a edge to DII's depth due to the number of larger, state funded and universities that compete at that level.
Oh, and is that a DI University in there?
Region VIII good showing! 2, 5, 15, and 21.
not bad. The AQ-CU matchup should be exciting.
Malone does look strong and dominating, but number one is not locked down. October is gonna show some change-ups.
CU has the frontrunners, but AQ has a couple as well, and they just have a little more depth from what I have seen. But it will definitely be a good matchup.
WHo knows anymore about this Loyola Invitational in Chicago this coming saturday?
AQ should have the edge on CU come crunch time. Their #1 guy from last year hasn't even raced yet...and I'd be shocked if the CU #2 does any damage to the AQ 1-3.
I'm interested in finding out more about it too....can anyone help?

Anyone know why AQ's returning All-American hasn't run yet?
With him healthy, no way can CU stay with them.
Well to me it would seem like the only reason not to run someone is becuase they are injured or not in shape... other than that there really isn't a reason
Born to kill.... do you really think that CU's second guy couldn't break into AQ's top 3??? what about CU's Maiyo? @ kenosha he ran a 25:18... your saying that all three of AQ's guys are going to go sub 25... @ kenosha? so far none of their runners have done that and there is only one that is better than Maiyo who only beat maiyo's time @ Calvin's couse where AQ has posted its fastest times of the season while mayio's time is . If you went strictly off of time not taking in courses this is how it shapes out
Scott (CU1) 24:43
Roberts (AQ1) 25:02
Mayio (CU2) 25:16
Leikert (AQ2) 25:36
Ripley (CU3) 25:37
Straathof (AQ3) 25:43
It's still early in the year and AQ is going to Oregon this weekend and will be facing #4 Louis & Clark State.
it will be intersting to watch AQ and CU and how they matchup while racing eachother @ confrence, regionals, and nationals
Aquinas will be racing Assenmacher who ran sub 25 last year. That should change things a little. This is by far the best CU team they have ever had but I do not believe they have enough depth to beat Aquinas even if they go 1-2 on them.
what was wrong with him? and why are they waiting this long?
