He was not AA, did not make the final.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter anymore if someone is actually American or not to be an All-American.

If making the final was the definition, there would be different numbers of athletes in different events (most in the 10,000, only 8 in the 'lane finals'). It looks like that first team is equivalent to those that make the 'lane finals' and the next eight the 'lane semifinals' (without the 3-'semi' format).

Man Portland is rocking some colorado preps.

Also Conner Winters is a redshirt freshmen.

conner winters info has been fixed

I enjoyed reading it, props to the writer, will it be updated after next week with the bigger meets and then conference then regionals?

Thank-you Isaac Wood for taking the time to do what we are too lazy to do for ourselves, that is, research all the teams and share the information. Don't feel limited to critique the NCAA coaches poll, with your knowledge you should come up with your own top 30. Just a suggestion.

Isaac Wood, read this:

For example, you consistently write NCAA's, when it should be NCAAs.

You do not want to come across like a writer for letsrun.com's homepage.

Tune in for next week's lesson.

Otherwise, it was a good start.

Actually, Villanova's Jordy Williamsz finished less than 2 seconds behind McEntee in third place and could be the fifth man if they choose to use him. He ran unattached at Haverford. Their 5 guys finished 16 seconds apart.

Thanks for the help

DOnt Update it! or if you do keep a file of the old one! could e interesting to look back at this one after NCAAs

I plan on updating this weekly, and I will only be adding on to the summaries that have already been written on each team so don't worry they're not going anywhere. Just FYI.

I add my voice to those expressing interest and gratitude for all the work and thought and insight that is reflected here. I will look for more.

As for the writing critique, note the sentence fragments in his latest post (unlikely to be a female writing that rubbish).

Will you do one for the women's teams as well?

I'm putting FSU down as my sleeper. Don't think they have the depth but if their top dogs perform they could do some damage.

Not sure about doing a Women's analysis yet, I don't know where the interest level is at compared to the Men's.

My interest level is at zero for the women's.

Exceptional effort. A few errors but for an analysis on all of the ranked teams. Take a bow.

It seems that Williamsz ran unattached because Villanova was waiting on the NCAA clearinghouse. The word now is that "unattached" will come off at Paul Short, and he will compete as a member of the team. This is according to the run nova site, which is a good source of accurate information.

Is there going to be an update after this week? Also personal rankings?
