Anyone know results from the DIII regional at Calvin today?
From the audio broadcast it sounded like Calvin won with 25 pts and Christiansen got the win, after that though it was up in the air. Anyone have actual results? (nothing's up on the website yet).
sounds like:
1. Calvin
2. Ohio Northern
3. Anderson
4. Heidelberg
5. Mount Union
how many bids does that look like?
The guy doing the talking seemed to think that Heidelberg was second, but it was hard to tell because he didn't name the individual guys and just noted that Heidelberg had 5 in first. Plus, it's easy to mix the uniforms up especially in a big pack. I guess the results will be up soon enough.
results?
They aren't posted on Calvin's site yet.
yeah I heard the webcast guy say heidelberg was second too, but Anderson, ONU and Heidelberg have pretty damn similar uniforms, so I'm sure there was a lot of orange going through the chute at the same time...
From a friend, word was Calvin scored 25, ONU 112, and he said he thought Mount only had like 150 points in fifth, so it sounds like the 2-5 group was bunched pretty tightly...
You had to figure Jimmy O'Brien, with all that talent, was eventually going to figure out how to run five miles... He's really come on at the end of the year... if he can hang with that front calvin group again at Nats, he'll be an all-american threat.
Mount Sucks with kyle basista thinking a top 5 finish at nationals!
Basista won't be top 5 at nats. if he can't break CAlvin's top 3, theres no chance of him being top 5 or top 10 for that matter.
wasn't it mentioned that Kyle would be top 5 in the 5k in track, not XC? (maybe both claims were made, I can't remember)... still, if he's barely hanging in Calvin's top 5 over 8k, I don't think he should be worrying about the podium in track quite yet.
Calvin
Northern
Anderson
Berg
Mount
Confirmed from a coach at the meet.
i believe the claim was made when kyle was running good, which was at the beginning of the season (the claim wasn't even made by him, but by a teammate). however, mount union has a TERRIBLE running program and he has progressively gotten worse. trust me, he knows he will not be top 5, and he is praying for a top 35 finish at nats next week.
Is Mount's program really TERRIBLE? They have one off year and now they don't know how to train their athletes?
coach homon trains use like its a f***ing mile race. the longest will ever go in intervals is 1000 meters and at the end of season we'll be doing 4 600's. I would love to be doing longer intervals but homon is a f***ing retard! dont come to mount if you want to run good in college. just look at northern and berg. they both run longer distances and now they are better then mount. if you look at a lot of the guys PR's for this season you will see that they're at the begining of the season. thats because of our summer training which has nothing to do with coach.
Calvin's site is a joke. How do they not have results posted yet? IU had the D1 Great Lakes results up 15 minutes after the race ended. The webcast feature is nice...but timely results are even nicer.
Womens results. I think there were some photo finish issues from what I could tell on the audio feed.
Also- if you'll notice, none of the other d3 regions have results up yet either. Theres a protest period, makes it take longer than 15 minutes to get the official results, especially if someone protests.
I'm not asking for 15 minutes, but something less than 2.5 hours. I know the protest period isn't that long.
All results are up!
wow, congratulations on bashing your own school.
This was the best run meet I have ever been to. Calvin college did a great job, they thought of everything. Its too bad the announcer couldn't read, but everything else was top notch. They had athlete restrooms, gravel over pavement, a huge course map, and the course was in great shape. Great experience.
