Will both Princeton teams defend their titles? Preditions for the top three teams? On the mens side, are there any individuals aside from Cabral, Leung, and Royer, etc. to watch out for? Who will be the top runners for Columbia/Cornell? Discuss.

Princeton will win Heps even easier than they did last year.
They have a legit 1 2 3 4 5 punch
1 Cabral (1st in 2010)
2 Leung (5th in 2010)
3 Speare (11th in 2009 didn't run in 2010)
4 Kaulbach (13th in 2010)
5 Arroyo Yamin (21st in 2010)
Dartmouth will be Princeton's closest competition but with Princeton's depth and incoming freshman class they will be hard to beat.
Where are the Heps going to be held??
Dartmouth site indicates Bostom/Yale has TBA
Sooo, NO Go on VCP??
other individuals?
ummm... ever heard of kyle merber?
franklin park this year
Princeton should be good for a few years. According to PrepGold.com they have the #2 distance recruiting class in the country (after Oregon). Recruits include:
Sam Pons (CA) - 4:10, 8:50
Matt McDonald (NJ) - 4;15, 9:04, FL Finalist
Connor Martin (IN) - 4:10; 9:00
Mike Mazzacarro (NJ) - 4:09, 9:02
Eddie Owens (NY) - 8:59/5:49 Steeples, FL Finalist
Funny how another thread with the same title started at the end of June by BRF... but hey, I guess it got lost in the masses.
Anywho, to quote my previous post on this topic:
"I thought Leung was a senior?
Unless someone else steps up, I see Donn Cabral grabbing the men's individual title again.
After her amazing outdoor season, I'm calling Abbey D'Agostino (D) for the women's individual win. Alex Banfich (Pr) will be a close second though.
I don't think the Princeton women will be as strong as they were last year, as they graduated Sarah Cummings and Ashley Higginson. Perhaps Cornell can sneak in there?
Meanwhile, Harvard has some good recruits coming in, particularly Billy Orman is headlining the group.

Looking at the 2010 Heps Results and adding in these 4 runners who were in the top 30 in 2009 but didnt run in 2010 but are returning for 2011 season.
2009 Results:
08 SR Kyle Merber COLUMBIA
11 SR Rob Speare PRINCETON
23 SR Sean Wilson PRINCETON
28 SR Andy Buchanan COLUMBIA
Assuming these 4 finish similar to their competition. You re-score the 2010 Heps results to get a rough estimate where the top 3 teams stand. Again alot changes when race day comes around Freshman/Injuries/Weather/Will to Win but it can give you a good pre-season starting point.
01 SR PRI Cabral
02 SR DAR Shaw
03 SR PRI Leung
04 SR COL Merber
05 SR PRI Speare
06 JR DAR Royer
07 SR DAR Kenimer
08 SR PRI Kaulbach
09 JR DAR Gault
10 SO PEN Paez
11 SO PRI Arroyo Yamin
12 SO HAR Watanabe
13 SO COL Sienko
14 SR PRI Stilin
15 SR BRO Lowry
16 SR COL Heck
17 SR PRI Wilson
18 SR COL Buchanan
19 SR BRO Duffy
20 JR DAR Doherty
21 SR HAR Hoffman
22 SR YAL Sheinbaum
23 SO HAR Leakos
24 JR COL Feigen
25 SO COR Heck
Score:
28 Princeton
34 Dartmouth
75 Columbia
Princeton vs. Dartmouth will battle it out.

Check your math.
28 Princeton
44 Dartmouth
Math is hard = TYPO
Pretty sure the meet will be at Princeton.
When will the location be confirmed? And does anyone know the reason why this is going on?
Van Cortland's not in championship form.
sme other guys of note who had strong track seasons and should change things above:
Lowry, Brown 14:01
Bendsten, Pr 14:04
Snyder, Col 14:07
Murphy, Col 14:12
Richards, Y 8:54 -steeple
Van Akeran, P4 9:01 - steeple
Velleiux, Col 8:09 - 3k
King, Pr 8:11
Composto, Col 8:12
Feigen, Col 3:42
Behnke, Col 3:45
Columbia men and women will own shit up and sweep the titles

With whom?
What happened with the meet vs. Cambridge and Oxford?
Columbia Women:
-Returning #1 from last year, Caroline McDonough
-returning 4/7 runners total(all of which were sophomores)
-amazing incoming freshmen Waverly Neer, Kaylin Mahoney, Aryn Foland
Columbia Men:
-returning: #3 runner who was a freshmen
-also very good recruiting class( look for them to be great in 2 years)
Van Cortland isn't in good shape and the rumor is the Harvard coach forgot to reserve the park.
Jordan probably thought it counted when Abbey kicked by her in the last 50m....
