The Cardinal women looked very solid this weekend. Their top 3 went right to the front, running every step together and dominating the race against a good field. Bei seems to be much improved since we last saw her run cross. At this point, everyone seems to have conceded the NCAA title to BYU; while I still consider BYU the favorites, I think that Stanford could put 3 in front of BYU's 3rd, and perhaps 4 in front of BYU's 4th. If so, it would come down to the 4th or 5th runner- and could make for an exciting race. Stanford's 4-5 seem a little short on cc experience, but with their stable, you never know who might show up on that day.
