Talkin' HEPS XC, 2009!

Thanks BRF. Yeah, currently at work so contributions are a little limited.

I'm curious as to why one of the Brown recruits has PRs listed from 200 to 3200. It seems to me that her strongest event is the 400m (then again, she has the fastest 1600m time of the recruits). Are they trying to convert her to mid-distance?

Brown runners are asked to write their own profiles and are asked to submit their best times in all events. This person must have run all events at some point in her high school career and just submited her best times in every event she has run. The profiles are simply a copy and paste of whatever the athletes submit about themselves.

Have practices opened? I see that Cornell has a women's roster that includes frosh (yikes, by the way--that's some recruiting class), but their men's roster has no freshmen yet. (Or is their women's roster just based on whom they've signed, with additions/deletions likely once practices actually begin?)

2. Leung - Pr

3. Escareno - B

Is leung still hurt? Is Escareno (sp?) from Brown coming back? How is Sitler doing? I didnt see any result from him this past fall.

How is Yale looking. They have been terrible? will they still be in the bottom of the barrell? Will they have anyone decent besides lobosky (sp?) in their top 5?

I saw the article on the front page today about how slow the VCP construction is going. Does anyone think it will be done on time for HEPS? If not, what are the alternative locations for it? Franklin Park in Boston? Someplace in Philadelphia? Has this happened before?

Which Ivy league teams have started their preseasonSS???? I hear Jake Mckenzie is in pretty good shape from yale

Yale?? what have those guys ever done in cross country. They never do anything. Lets talk princeton, cornell, columbia, dartmouth and harvard. No reason to waste time on yale

Who?

It was moved due to construction 30 years ago. The one-time venue was Leigh University over 10K.

Columbia had a slew of honky-tonk billy goats led by Wally Collins and won in an upset; Princeton pretty boys (a gentlemanly Barney Costello, a hippy freak Dave Olds, et al) had to keep the champagne in the trunk until the next year.

Murphy from Harvard (and Portsmouth Abbey, RI) won individually.

That's just not true. He got mono this summer.

Unless he had mono at Heps last year I'm not sure why we're talking about him, unless he threw down big-time in track. He was 68th last year.

Unless any of you know of road race results that I'm unaware of the only person that we know is in great shape is Ben True, and he graduated.

He must be pulling in some phenomenal talent because we had an athlete (jumper) being recruited by nearly every other Ivy (all that he contacted showed interest) and was told by Harvard coaches that they weren't interested. Then again, he got the same from Amherst, so who knows.

If he's really that interested in Harvard, tell him to walk on and prove the coaches wrong. I could be an academic thing, I don't know. I don't know what incoming talent they have since it isn't listed yet on the website. Good luck to your jumper.

Is it possible for Yale to pull off the double triple crown this year? There womens team did it last year being last all three seasons, but there is certainly the potential for the same to happen with the guys. They lost their two best cross guys, and a ton of points from the jumps/throws squads.

Is a program actually capable of 6 last places?

Who cares about HEPS? It's like a glorified D3 meet.

then why don't you go trash on the NAIA thread??? that is like a glorified junior college league!!

Best Distance Coaches: Wood (Columbia) & Rojo (Cornell)

Middle Ground: B/D/H

Worst: Yale/Penn

Yes?

You didn't include Princeton in there. I think they would be under the "best distance coaches" category if you were to include them...
