I'm looking at the results as passed out at VCP this afternoon...
Actually Lowell took 1-4,7,8,13 not 5 of top 6. But they could have easily gone 1-6. Entering the cow path the last time around they were sitting 1-6 and running easy. I cannot wait to see how they compete in Ashland. Other than New England's they really have not been tested this fall. They may not have anyone right up front in Ashland, but I think they have the ability to pack in on the 2-6 positions in decent places.
Finish order for Lowell...
--Mease (31:33)
--Murphy (32:43)
--Alliette
--Morasse (freshman)
--Sawiski
--Jenkins
--Lankiewicz
Bentley really ran well today to take that 2nd spot. They had 2 seniors and 3 juniors racing, their experience picked up the pieces of Stonehill. Stonehill has a young team, I look for them to improve a great deal in the next few years.
The big question for Bentley now has to be can they beat anyone in Ashland.
No huge challenges for the Individual qualifiers in the region. Fraoli of Stonehill made a good move on the hills just before you cross the bridge to the backhills to separate himself from a big pack and get where he needed. He would have been 8th today if Lowell had raced the whole way (that's not a putdown of Lowell at all, they ran very smart and showed just enough to lock it up early). Malay of Southern CT seemed to emerge from a pack of Bentley, SCSU and Merrimack runners after the backhills.
Perfect day for an XC race down there.
By far Bentley's best race of the year. Stonehills youth showed today. Lowell showed they are legitimate for top 5 in the country...Mease should be up there individually. Murphy ran great as well, Alliette looked like he was hurtin coming in. Morasse is a helluva young runner. Fraoli and the Bentley guys looked like neither of them wanted to make a move for most of the last two loops and it showed during the last 400 meters, Fraoli and Kasternos were really moving down the last straight and made up a lot of ground. Womens race was fun to watch also as Stonehill dominated again. Ash;and should be interesting.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
