How Many D1 Teams Are As Deep As Adams State's Distance Crew??

UVA

13:45, 13:48, 13:55, 14:03, 14:07

I am sure there are LOTS of others.

So far in 2011, ASC has had 3 guys go sub 14:00 (13:51, 13:53, 13:59) and has a total of FIVE GUYS running 14:11 or faster.

They have a 3:40 posted in the 1500 with quite a few others in the mid-3:40 range, have had a redshirt freshman run mid 8:40s in the steeple and have had a true freshman post a 1:48 800.

I was just curious with that kind of depth, especially in the 5k, how many current D1 squads are able to match it?

Great, when was the last time ASC won an outdoor track national team title?

Wisconsin had 6 guys run sub 13:50.

Obviously Wisco has got the most depth in the country. That's impressive for UVA, but I'm highly doubting there are "LOTS" of others. List them.

I dont see the 13:45 or 14:03 on TFRRS...they redshirts or what?

Wisco - 13:41, 13:42, 13:45, 13:49, 13:58

BYU - 13:46, 13:52, 13:54, 14:01, 14:02

Indiana - 13:33, 13:48, 13:53, 14:09, 14:11

OK State - 13:34, 13:47, 13:54, 14:03, 14:08, 14:10

Stanford - 13:37, 13:46, 13:50, 14:04, 14:17

Oregon - 13:51, 14:01, 14:02, 14:02...14:29?

All that stick out looking over the TFRRS lists

Princeton may be the deepest 5k squad - although I haven't looked around much. Cabral isn't running the 5k this year, but just this season they have:

Stilin (13:38),

Bendtsen (13:57),

Arroyo-Yamin (14:02),

Udland (14:05),

Franklin (14:06),

Vitez (14:09),

Leung (14:09)

That's SEVEN sub-14:10 guys not including their best guy in Cabral - so really EIGHT. Why in the hell didn't they finish higher in xc?!

Also 3 sub-9 steeplers and 2 sub 3:40 guys (also not including Cabral).

There are at least a dozen Japanese university teams with greater depth than that.

Just curious how old are those Adams State runners and what countries are they from? They've had a lot of older or instant fix foreign runners putting up big marks from them in recent years.

Recruiting talent and developing talent are two different things at the college level. Not to mention there are different admission requirements for each school.

Outside of just the running stats it's like apples and oranges when comparing colleges across the country from D1, D2, D2, NAIA and Jucos.

Within each school you have different challenges and resources (or lack there of in some cases) regarding facilities, budget, staff and most importantly scholarship money.

Adams State is a running school, period. Academically it's very easy, has open enrollment, the school costs are cheap and cross country and track&field is the #1 sport there. How many D2 schools have an Alter G treadmill?

Are they a talented team? Certainly are, no doubt about it.
