MU looked great at Princeton this weekend. Beat SHU and QU pretty easily. They're going to be tough to beat in a few weeks.

While i do agree MU looks good, CCSU is still in the NEC and QU/SHU sat some fellas.
Seems like a lot of people already have the meet scored out... no room for any dark horses?
SFU(PA) not looking great this year.

Not many surprises in the NEC, the biggest surprise would be if QU could pull the upset for the win. On the individual side Gruschow FTW.

This is true, Monmouth is the strongest TEAM out there as we've seen...but thats because they have an army of guys. I personally would love to see a smaller team upset. and I'm in your corner for the individual pick
mini meet today!!!
Delbene looked good at mini-meet, will be interesting to see what he can do at 8k...flat course at bryant might help him there
I still like klauber for the title though, he ran solid at NEs. not sure how I feel about gruschow to win it, but see him on the podium
ccsu is looking strong, I think it will take a good day out of monmouth to dethrone the reigning champs. QU and SHU are solid contenders
Delbene didn't look "good" he looked like a million bucks running in that mud. I'll go with the 3:48/14:18 guy.
track times don't necessarily mean fast xc times...but if you can rip it in the muddy hell that was ccsu mini, you're a strong runner. colby FTW

Not to play Devil's advocate but Klauber ran 15:11 on the same course in the same conditions four years ago. Not saying thats why im picking him to win but the time of 15:24 does not make Delbene look like a clear cut favorite.
Wrong. It was a different course. They made it flatter but longer 3 years ago by taking out woods loop. Plus conditions were much worse this year. So wrong 2x
Predictions? Gruschow ftw, ccsu or monmouth in the team race
This man is like Nostradamus with this prediction, top 3 spot on. So what's gonna be the results next year bro?
72, 78, 79
has it ever been that close before?
also, that has got to be some sort of points record for the winners.
someone better beat central next year.
ccsu is returning their top seven plus Craig Hunt, Andy Pullaro, and Jon Krell. not going to be easy to beat that team.

Yeah their coach did his homework. Redshirted Hunt and still won with a relatively young team this year. I can't see any other team even coming close in the next couple of years.
It's nice to see the conference improving as a whole though. SFUPA really slipped this year and I can't believe QU made some noise and got back into the top 3.

Thomas Dextradeur should win just about every race he runs from here on out. He has put in some serious mileage this summer, including some unreal tempo runs (5 milers sub 25 for example - he did that 4 times over the course of the summer). I legitimately expect a conference victory out of him, and if/when he pulls that off, QU should follow close behind and win the team competition as well.
Yup, Dextradeur went out and killed it this year. That was an impressive win from him.

I see 3 in the top 10, for Bryant including the winner. Hard to be 7th with that up front.
As someone else said, theyll do well if 4-5 pick up the slack
Boom.
