Everything pretty much went according to plan for the girls...what happened to the boys?

It's called an "upset".
Is it still an upset if CBA and SLC sucked and the big4 were awful. I sense a Nike conspiracy.

the boys race wasn't far off of expected at the top. Leingang, Ryan and Burcham had bad races, but it's far from unusual that that happens to a few kids and other than those three, the results seemed reasonable at the top. All of the top 10 have seemed like potential US Top-25 type guys most if not all of the year; some had good days, while other guys didn't. That's what happens in a race.
Teamwise, the only big surprise for the pre-race podium favorites was Southlake Carroll finishing eighth.

indeed
girls slopped the course up a lot worse, so it was a total mudslide by the time the guys got out there. wasn't as terrible when girls went off.
the girls left their sloppy seconds all over the course. running through elasticity-sapping-placentas is NOT fast.
Why in the hell would you run a community race before the national championship race.... They probably tore up the course before the girls did!
