RE: 2014 Northeast-10 XC Thread

Hello coach,

Instead of coming onto letsrun.com and feeding in to this trolling frenzy, why don't you contact the northeast 10 coach rep for cross country. This would probably be the more effective choice since it is the cross country rep that selects these weekly awards.

I believe, as voted by the Northeast 10 coaches in the summer, that for the 2014–2015 seasons it is coach Leo Mayo at AIC.

Thanks Assistant Coach - that would explain Antivo getting Honor Roll for running a "really impressive" 16:56 in his 5k @ the Trinity meet!

Crap - he would have finished 15th in the Wickham Park HS XC Invite merge last October - give me a break!

You think I haven't expressed my displeasure to those who make the selections over the years?

If the XC Coaches Rep selects the weekly awards that would be a change from prior practice. In the longer ago past it was the SID's. More recently the conference office has made the selections off recommendations made by the SID's. At least that's what I am told by my SID. It's possible it has changed to the coaches rep, but that has not been communicated to me by my SID, who I speak with pretty much every day.

I can understand how SIDs and conference employees might not make selections that make sense to me. Coach Mayo knows his stuff, so if he's responsible for this function for this season, I'd be more surprised if my thoughts didn't line up with his more often.

AIC wins handily over FP on their own course. Merimack nearly misses silver by a few points. SCSU guy over gisore?

Saw those results and looks like AIC did not even run Chirchir or Antivo (two scoring returners from last year)-WOW!

5th man in that meet for AIC was a transfer from D3 Lesley College. AIC could have something "brewing" this year and now become the clear favorite in NE-10 D2 East Regional.

Guessing that other than Smith, the rest of the FP team ran "tempo" in this one? If not - they clearly are not in shape yet - better "gauge" for them with be Paul Short in early Oct.

Nice effort by Merrimack - beat Adelphi and much closer to FP than I would have thought - seems like they have some nice young talent - give them a year or two and maybe they compete

Stonehill ran 2nd in a "watered down" DII/DIII challenge invite in PA - only 7 teams ran and Lock Haven took the 2-7th places scoring 22 points for the win!

AIC will not only win the NE-10, and East regional meet, they will do it in dominating fashion. AIC has 7 runners, better than most teams top 2. Biwott cannot be stopped, and Mayo for president!

Didn't Jeff Veiga beat the Kenyans when UMass Lowell was Div II

He sure did, Buddy! I believe Fillapozo, beat all the Kenyans (Except Super Biwott)last year. BJ Smith is coming for you Biwott!

NE-10: God-fearing colleges, a state university with a lot of physiology majors, an African import running center, and an overpriced business speciality school.

So who will it be? A god fearing school will probably win it on the men's side

I think it will go the running center followed by FTW, then all God fearing for the next 3-4, followed by the business school

I have to ask, which one is the "overpriced business specialty school?" I'm assuming it is most likely Bentley, but could it be Adelphi?

Stonehill just likes to tell themselves that Bentley is overpriced, that way they don't feel as bad when they graduate without jobs and all the Bentley guys are making 70K+signing bonus.

^This is why we can't have nice things.

A more important question. Why do you care?

Agreed - let's keep it on running- latest D2 Regional rankings came out today:

Top Five

AIC

FP

Stonehill

Roberts Wesleyan

Merrimack

RW moved up one spot, Merrimack moved up 3 spots and Wilmington and Adelphi dropped

Who's running their full squad at New Englands? Bentley is only running a few of their current top 7, the remaining few are resting after a long trip this weekend.
