I made the first post and I am right.
Right now, CMU is the team in the NAIA to beat. Who has run faster so far? Not Minot.
And number 2, CMU is better than MOST NCAA teams. Before you choke on your tongue, realize this. There are probably over 250 NCAA Division 1 XC programs. CMU may not be better than the ranked top 25, but they much better than most teams. Look at any state and you will find one or two solid xc teams with 3-10 crap programs like in Alabama - Birmingham Southern, South Alabama, UAB, Alabama State and in Lousiana Louisiana-Lafayette, LSU, Nichols State, NW LA, Tulane. The list goes on and on in every state.
Just think about your state and the average to sub-avaerage programs (with $$ and idiot coaches)
