The first ever Pac-12 Cross Country Championships will be held on October 29th at the Wig Wam Resort Golf Course in Tempe, Arizona. Here is my team prediction for the meet.
MEN
---
1. STAN- Should be ready to roll up another win.
2. COL- Need perfect race to beat Stanford.
3. OREGON- Depth is killing this young team.
4. UCLA- Has impressed early. Can the peak right?
5. WSU- See UCLA comment.
6. ASU- Will home course help or hurt Sun Devils?
7. CAL- Not known as a big meet team.
8. WASH- Depth problems will hurt Huskies.
9. ARIZ- Only scoring 4 but last is still theirs.
WOMEN
-----
1. WASH- Don't see any problems for this Huskies.
2. COLORADO- Not Buffs kind of course or altitude.
3. STAN- Have the talent for a top two finish.
4. ARIZ- Missing some quality bodies but strong team
5. OREGON- Need strong effort from #4 and #5 runners.
6. CAL- Has potential for 4th if everyone runs well
7. UTAH- Welcome to the Pac-12 ladies. Now bend over
8. ASU- This team puzzles me. What went wrong?
9. ORE ST- Carlisle leads this skittish group
