D2 NATIONALS

So what happens to Adams without Stevens? Can they win? I think they may struggle without him.

doesn't automatically ruin their chances to win.... but it sure makes 1-5 a tossup

A few things- Harold is Tom's brother. Tom is hurt but may run at nationals. Stevens is not hurt and was not in a boot at regionals. He will run in Joplin.

How do you know the details of a school in South Dakota and one in Colorado so well?

maybe he has friends?

One thing is for sure. Missouri Southern Men will go out hard like always and slowly drop. I predict 4 MOSO guys in the top 10 at the 1/2 mile mark. One in the top 40 at the finish.

Just my thoughts...

There are a bunch of us d2 runners organizing/running an open race/time trial of the course Friday at 10am the day before D2 NCAAs. Just one race guys and girls. Girls just take the 6k turn off just before the mens mile mark and run the 6k course. Any alumni, redshirts, road crew, etc anyone who wants to run is welcome. See everyone Friday at 10.

I would be really annoyed with this if I was doing my day before jog on the course at the same time

We picked the time to be during the coaches packet pickup so hopefully there will not be many teams out there

Why don't you do it on Saturday morning at 8:45 or 9:00? The men race at 10:30. That way alternates can run as well. No one will be warming up out there then. That's what they do in our regional race.

I did not know that. Good thinking and planning ahead. This would be a pretty good time then.

Big Tom doesn't let anyone on his course who shouldn't be there! Good luck making this happen!

I predict an Augustana sweep!

Maybe Augustana getting sweeper off the course.

how does one get sweeper off the course?

Also if any team puts their top 3 in the top 10... good chance they will be the winners.

Womens

1. Augustana

2. Adams

3. GVSU

4. Western

Men

1. Adams

2. Augustana

3. Mines

4. Chico

I'm gonna put the prediction contest together and would appreciate any help from people reading this thread. If you are aware of someone who either bombed at regionals or didn't race at all but should still be considered for a top 10 finish please post their names and schools in this thread. Thanks a bunch.
