All Ohio Championships

Holbert rented an apartment near Cedarville's campus this past summer. He trained on this course all summer and is prepared to go sub 24. If he's on top of his game, I don't see anyone touching him on Saturday.

No Ohio state and now even Kent and Akron aren't going.

Miami has been in a long time.

Meet stinks.

Cedarville sucks. D3 (because the best of d1 skip and d2 has too few to be interesting) I'll take the ONU men and the Case girls. Individually Caleb Muller of Marietta and Alison Steinbrunner of ONU

No way man! Perry Fraylick of BGSU is coming away with the W in this one. He's finally worked hard and ran over the summer instead of just relying on his talent. Watch out for All American for this kid.

With a 27:31 8k PR he's lucky to be top 100.

no way... kent and akron will both be there.

prediction from me is that kent's men win it with heller up top individually and i give the girls a win with akron. their team spread was 14 seconds a few weeks ago, running the 5k with 17:54-18:08 with their top 5. look for them up front.

Malone beat Kent State and Akron at the Tommy Evans Invitational pretty handily. They will be there. If Hough from Akron is running I think he would be a favorite.

If Kent is sending their A squad, Heller has to be one of the favorites

Miami is also sending an "A" team. Eick and Kiplagat should both be in the running for individual honors.

so does that mean only ohio state is not sending their a?

For any MAC school to not attend All Ohio is bad for the sport and just plain weak. It's not like they are going to pick up points going to Pre Nats so why not just duke it out in a great mid season event.

The real question is, are there any bars nearby the course so I can drive down early, get sloshed, stumble back over for the races, and throw up all over the place?

We are talking about Cedarville, OH now...I think I've personally consumed more alcohol then the entire campus this year.

Just did a google map check, looks pretty bleak. BYOB!

Cedarville will win the overall men's title

Coaches Network:

I think the All Ohio is a great meet, but you just don't understand the dynamics of DI. If, and I say if, a MAC Ohio team (Miami, Akron, Kent) has a good team they are crazy not to go to one of the meets where they might knock off a ranked team, earn some at-large points, and have a chance to qualify to NCAA's later in the season. Twice in the last 15 years a MAC team did not qualify to the NCAA's specifically because they did attend the All Ohio. Its a game, and any team that might be decent has to play the game well to qualify. Most years this will not be a factor, but some years MAC teams are pretty good.

Cedarville is in a dry county... so bring your own. Weak shit.

Last i checked d3 works decently similarly. The difference is that d3 traditionally is pretty strong in ohio, and schools have other local options (on other weeks) to race against teams from other regions.
