When was the last time Braun won a national title? It's been a while. He's lost the magic.

You're right, he's washed up, it's been an entire 8 months since he last won a national title.

Good luck to all on Saturday. Probably 3-5 guys with a legitimate chance to win. All of them are impressive runners. No need to hate on any of them.

I Think Letsrun Would Like To Hear What Drew Wasmund Has To Say On This Matter

kirwa won't win. and he races like the anti-pre. he sits the entire race, let's other people make moves and lead, and then kicks with 200m to go and wins. lame.

How dare he use smart tactics to win a race. Man what is he thinking. The nerve.

Who's going to big boy nat's in Terre Haute after we run our baby nationals?

How about the women's team race? Do y'all think that Adams State is ranked too low right now?

Speaking of DII Nationals, where is the after party this year. There doesn't seem to be one central hotel etc...

Riot in the Hyatt. Theres the clarification.

how many d1 all-americans do laps in a 30 story hotel with swimmers, divers and wrestlers cheering them on?

night of dII nationals = greatest throwdown of the year

Are the USI guys hosting a party or what?

where's the party going to be at saturday night???

i think the focus on the afterparty instead of on the race is one of the reasons why DII gets the rap of being "baby nationals". You're going to party after the race, whining about where the party is for weeks before the party only makes you seem like the insecure kids in college who are afraid they won't get invited.

All that said:

Adams for the win - duh

western for 2nd - duh

mines for third - no one else seems to realize how good adams and western are

gvsu for fourth - supposedly solid pack size

chico for fifth - no fifth man

...

metro for 8th - julian's departure seemingly insignificant

are you serious? Metro for 8th? they suck, plus there name really fits there team...they're all metro queers

These picks look correct.

Chico has about five guys (Cannon, Solis, Chavez, a more healthy Scanlon, Mejia) in the program who could fill that 5th man role if they were healthy...they really got hit buy injuries this year.

How about GVSU vs. Adams NEXT year, does GVSU close the gap a bit?[

Western returns everyone besides Donnan. Neither GVSU or Adams should be able to touch them next year.
