Shocking that Harvard beat Columbia. Did Wood leave as he left the cupboard bare or was this an underperformance for Columbia?

Looks like Heps will be between Princeton and Dartmouth unless Penn/Yale pull a shocker.

Yale crushed Harvard at HYPs and only lost to Princeton by a point. Did Princeton run their full team?

I know everyone will be focused on Oregon but I gotta give a shout out to Chris Fox and Brian Bell and Syracuse. The depth on their team is pretty incredible. The clearly don't get the total stud recruits and have the low stick up front that like Oregon but Syracuse's #9 in this meet was 25th.

So Syracuse has 9 in before

Oregon has 7.

Providence has 5.

Georgetown has 4.

Dartmouth has 2.

Harvard has 2.

Columbia has 2.

Cornell has 1.

Remarkable.

oregon only brought 7 runners, one did not run as well as might be expected.

a better frame of reference might be oregon had 6 in before Syracuse had 4; and as to the "underdog" reference, 3 of those 6 were lightlly recruited oregonians

It looked like Princeton's A squad at HYP. But a big name not in the results was Garret O'Toole, the incoming freshman who ran 4:01.89 for the mile last year.

I'll never understand why they won't update these boards. This thread was full of links to Twitter that Werent clickable and for some reason were near impossible to copy/paste on an iPhone.

Can anybody tell me one benefit of having antiquated technology on the no1 running message board? When I look at top websites for other interests they make let'srun look like its from 1998.

It might be your web browser because every link i hit worked.

Yeah, but then that would be more accurate and relevant. But it would not have achieved the purpose of the post: trying to diminish Oregon's victory and/or taking a shot at Oregon.

I guess this 8K course is a different layout that the old 5 mile course there... John Treacy ran 22 minutes high there back in the day.

Has Leingang been injured?

The course is not in the same place. It's across the street and a completely different course since they made it for the Worlds in 1992. By the way, Salazar's junior year for Cross was in '74 (he graduated in spring of '76).

Horst Girth: I have no doubt Cheserek could have run around 23:00 if he was really pushing. The field just went out really slow, hence the slow times.

But yes, I believe it is a different course.

I'm not sure you follow- there weren't links (Except on a few rare occasions), just urls that weren't clickable. Basically, they were just a series of letters that began with http and wereimpossible to copy.

I'd post a screen shot to better explain, but again, the antiquated technology doesn't allow for pics.

I'd suggest clicking on individual names on the Columbia roster. That cupboard is not bare. They have more talent on their roster than any other Ivy. It's up to Ireland now. Continue or end.

This was exactly what I was thinking. The post about Syracuse' top 9 runners was laughable. Damn, it would be no more ludicrous for him to note that Oregon's 8th and 9th runners didn't even finish. What a tool. Geez, what was the official score? And which team had all but one of their runners in the top 13 in the official results? And, looking at their entered roster, it was interesting to see that Winn, Melancon and Neuman (all lightly recruited) have been coached up to finish so high against all those big boys on other teams.

"oregon only brought 7 runners, one did not run as well as might be expected.

Rojo might have been more fair and accurate to have pointed out that Oregon's final runner (Leingang), had an off day, and finished 40th, yet he still finished well ahead of 4 of Syracuse's final five runners (33,57,62,72,109).

Thanks for the info on the course.

And yes, Fall of '74 was Salazar's junior year. As I was a '75 graduate (senior in Fall '74 XC season), I mixed it up a bit.
