On the front page the Brojos weren't giving Princeton much love for their "upset" since they have so many sub-9 high school guys on their roster.
To turn it around the other way, which teams with no sub-9 guys on their roster has been able to do the most?
Syracuse has none
Pretty sure Colorado usually has very few, and has probably had some years with zero. Although a lot of their kids are local CO guys who perhaps could run under 9 at sea level but don't get the chance
What's up with the name Nace? I bet that dudes an ace in the sack!
Colorado is the best at turning 9:20 kids into college studs, but they still have plenty of high school talent on their roster (Hursyz, Moussa, Pearson were all sub-9 guys).

How FL finalists do they have? 5-10?
Isn't the basically the same as a sub 9 guy? But even better. It's like a sub-9 xc guy.
Probably Stanford, they have like 12 sub 9 guys....oh not going for the most?
Syracuse finally has a sub-9 3,200 guy in Jace Lowry (8:58.95 indoors). There are also 5 Foot Locker finalists on the current Syracuse roster (Graves, Hubbard, Lennon, Rivers, Whelan).
Syracuse has definitely recruited better XC runners than 3,200 guys over the years. Lots and lots of FL finalists but no sub-9s until now. 9:00 is about 35th to 40th in the country, so being a FL finalist is pretty much the XC equivalent of 9:00 or better (better if recruiting proven XC guys is the aim).
