2011 - Lawi ran, self-explanatory.
2012 - Besides the first 3-4 finishers, times were similar. Temperature was about the same that year.
2013 - A lot cooler and raining. BYU brought their best guys.
Having run both Pre-Nats last year at Lavern Gibson and the Griak in 2012, I would easily say that Minnesota is by far the much harder course.
Especially when the course is laid out long

Why were the times so slow at Griak?
After read all the post heat had a lot to do with it. But I pay my $12.50 a month to "Flotrack" to watch these races. The only thing that stood out that they said was the course is always up and down. Being on a golf course there are no long stretches of flat.
Nobody has mentioned the fact it has been raining and wet in the Midwest this year so most of the courses are soggy and slow. Add the heat when kids are not acclimated because it's been a cool summer and you get slow conditions. Seriously the tards that say there was nobody good in the field this year need to wake up.
I also heard that the AIDS virus was being passed around from the porta potty seats at the Griak so that probably contributed at least a little bit to the slow times.
Course was as firm as it has been. Many teams came from areas that have seen plenty of warm weather this fall.
80 degree weather with near 70 % humidity is great running conditions? Last year it was nearly 30 degrees cooler at Griak which is the reason the times were faster. Depth was much better at this year's meet as more solid D1 teams raced. But at the end of the day times don't mean shit in cross country. That's the beauty of the sport; teams chasing competition not times to make the NCAAs.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
