Mountain region predictions

CU

NAU

MSU

CSU

BYU

Weber

just out:

Utah St

Here's my stab at it:

1. CU (that's a given)

2. NAU

3. Weber St.

4. BYU

5. Montana St.

6. Colorado St.

7. Utah St.

8. New Mexico

9. Utah

10. Air Force

Life in the mountains just got more interesting with the flash of brillience shown by MSU.

I have made three different lists and they all looked bad. The truth is I have no idea what is going to happen

BYU has a great #1 and a tight group of 5 after that.

Col has three studs one very good and one good runner.

Nau alwayes runs best at the end of the year and look at how they started the year this year. Plus Ahnstrom is a major key for them.

CSU had a very tight group at the MWC and only lost because BYU had an even tighter split.

Weber placed 4th at pre-nats without Tolman.

MSU beat NAU and Weber and their best runner had a sub par day.

New Mexico is dangerous and could shock some people in this region.

Utah State is better than people are giving them credit for being. They could/will beat one of the teams favored ahead of them.

Robert,

We all know that the teams are good, and that it will be a close one, but come on. . . make up your mind and give us a real prediction. We want to hear your scoop.

I say:

Col

NAU

BYU

Weber

CSU

Montana St

Utah State

very close between 2-6. And I don't think USU will be close enough to get any of those 6.

Mountain Mayhem is an idiot

Very interesting region after CU!! MSU has beaten NAU and Weber twice this season, I think they are on a roll... so with that in mind here is my top 5....1. CU 2. MSU 3. NAU 4. BYU 5.Weber

Hey Donnie,

Will we see you at Regionals? It would be great to put a face to a name.

With New Mexico having a major injury in their top three, things do not look good.

Seems like a lot of respect is being given to CSU, they have a solid top two, and the rest are 25:00 guys-although they have positions 3-8 at that level. Is this the type of team that will make it to nationals, and what will that convert to for 10k?

That would be real cool, but highly unlikely, I gots ta work!! I work at the Casino on the weekends, gotta keep my lady friend and our babies spoiled!! I am planning on going to Montana this January, kind of a reverse Snowbird, leaving the warmth of Az for the frigid cold of Montana??!!?? But will be visiting some family and checking up on some of my Homeboys in Billings!! Tell the MSU boys to give em HELL at regionals and to do some damage at the Nationals, all of your hard work is paying dividends now, believe in the work that got you this far and let it happen!!

I showed that I was willing to stick my neck out early this year with the predictions in early Jule. "Robert's rankings". i honestly tried to make predictions now but every list I made looked stupid to me.

My only prediction is it is going to be one phenominal race.

Good luck to all and especially to the Utah teams.

My shot:

1. CU

2. NAU (only if Ahnstrom runs and is healthy)

3. BYU

4. MSU

5. CSU

6. WSU

7. USU

8. New Mexico

9. Air Force

10. Utah

Very close from 3-6.

The Mountain Regionals will go as follows (and I emphasize the will):

1. CU

2. NAU

3. Weber St.

4. BYU

5. MSU

6. New Mexico

7. CSU

8. Utah

9. Utah St.

10. Air Force

The only way this could differ is injuries to certain athletes, namely Ahnstrom. But with healthy teams this is the order.

Utah State WILL NOT take 9th.
