I stated after Regionals DS rested the runners that would give his team the best chance to win today. Number 1-3 man GM and his best 5th runner JS.
GM ran a race I thought he could not run. He was patient and ran with GF and CL until it was time to go. He finished 7th. JS ran a great race, 36th overall and 30th in the team race.
GF, CL and TF ran their usual good race.
After watching the OSU and Stanford runners put there egos aside, I knew none of them would challenge for the individual win. They ran the race that would help their team win. Standford did move up to 4th this year.
DS stated in his pre-race interview over on Flotrack that there could be a blow out. He never stated which would do the blowing out, but after watching today maybe he knew.
Last thing OSU returns all seven runners. They also have a bunch of hungry guys waiting in the wings, some of them ran at regionals and helped OSU go to NCAA'S rested.
THREE PEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
