Don't read too much into the Wisconsin Invite results

I watched the race video, and it looked like a huge field, and a course that funneled down fairly quickly so the field was tightly boxed. If you didn't get out aggressively and get good position, you'd be boxed in for a while. Even if you only lost 15 seconds, in terms of places, that would have a huge impact in this race. So I'm not sure that the results here will really indicate how the schools will fare come NCAA nationals. We'll see. . . .

PS If you watch the Youtube video, you realize that xc coaches really yell stupid things to their runners . . .

I'm reading more into the black & white results of a national caliber race than some pre-law lunatic's ramblings on letsrun...

We'll see in November . . . .

if you don't get out at nationals you'd be in the same boat. very good simulation of what nationals will be like.

if you look closely you can see that some guys split way back at the mile and were still able to make up plenty of ground and finish in the top 25.
