DIII New England XC 2012

I raced this Lyndon State kid in HS, he was pretty legit and never came off as arrogant (to me at least). He's just getting back into running after a couple years away from the sport and should be a force next year. He's a talent on par with Horowitz. Don't think poorly of him because of what his teammates were saying. I was watching the race and telling my teammates the same thing.

hamilton may not be in the region, but at least they have artistic capability. nice job hamsters

i also raced this kid in high school and i predicted him as an individual qualifier, but i was still taking bets with my teammates about when he would be caught by the field. very impressed that he hung on for 9th, but moves like that don't work in college like they did in (vermont) high school. he's a good runner but nowhere near a sub-9 two miler/13th place xc national talent. he would have needed to build up close to a 200 meter lead to escape the kicks of the top guys

Patrice Wilson does it again! Musical genius! He must have gone to Berkeley, another Boston school that is better than Tufts.

I think you're talking about Berklee, not Berkley numnuts. And their average SAT score is a measly 1010, certainly not tufts material.

Maybe not on the same level in a 2mile race, but he's a strength runner and will get significantly better over 8k once he has another season of training under him. For some context, in high school he was on the same level as future St. Lawrence runner and 3rd place finisher at xc nationals, Dan Ramsey, who also ran in VT at that time. Just don't be surprised by whatever he does next year.

Powers is also like 23-24

How in God's name did Trinity go from a national qualifying team to 30th in the region in like 6 years?

WTF? Trinity finished 30th? I didn't realize there were even 30 scoring teams in the region. That being said, I'm honestly surprised they even have 7 guys on that team.

It's Burnstein's fault.

Sam Morehead is a lawyer, apparently.

Hunter Norte is working at a knitter.

Now that the dust has settled, can we hear from the TU folks about how their average SAT scores are this and their trust funds are that, etc, etc?

They might not have won the region, but they won life.

Its funny how many people on this website suck dick for coke

I'll be more than happy to provide you with some Tufts admissions statistics, but unsurprisingly you're missing the point.

Who cares about regionals when you're a NATIONAL contender?

We'll see who's ragging on Tufts after this weekend.

I see that TUXC has dropped ten spots, to 15th in the nation. Will they be the rattler that strikes from the brush? We'll know on Saturday!

FWIW, Tufts was ranked 22nd a year ago after back to back 5th place finished at NESCACs and regionals.

These are the point's outside of first for teams 2-5 for the past few years. Some historical background for how ridiculously close regionals was
