Not as good as I once was wrote:
Standford would have won had it not been for one UO athlete.
To answer another poster, the reason we are talking about the distance runners is because that is what the thread is about. I don't care what the team scores were for the meet. I'm not talking about the meet as a whole. Notice the title of the thread.
1. First off if your not talking about the meet as a whole why mention Stanford would have won without a certain UO athlete?
2. Second I'm assuming you mean Eaton (if I'm wrong please correct me) but either way he is not a distance athlete so if you are concerned with only distance runners why mention him?
3. His total of 39.25 points (only gave him 1.25 as a leg of the relay) takes UO to 129.25 which is still more the Stanford's 92. Yes they would gain some points but I doubt it would be enough to win.
4. If we are removing an athlete from UO do we get to from Stanford.
5. I am not partial to either team just distance running (I go to pitt, obviously i must watch other teams to see real distance runners)
Having said all that both TEAMS competed well. Yes, Stanford's distance did much better then UO's on the track but that doesn't matter much seeing as track isn't a distance sport, XC is.
