    re: swerve

    Just came across this thread. Though I realize that not all teams at Pre-Nats were racing at full strength, I'm very impressed by Cornell's top-ten finish. I know they've had a good recruiting class or two in recent years but I really did not expect them to be at this level.

    And although Cornell had fifth-man problems here, their B squad raced elsewhere and produced what looks like a couple of solid candidates for that slot.

    Just another element in what's shaping up as an extremely competitive Ivy League conference meet...

    Interesting because I heard the same about CU, from a very credible source.

    re: swerve

    just consider that winn has only been running since august after coming off a stress fracture... he still has a lot of time to round into top shape. and if you don't think matt and jake can be right up with the rest of the oregon guys at the end of the season after good solo performances in the open race then... *shrug*

    ...whereas Colorado, which won by an improbable amount, was peaking for pre-Nats, just like last year.

    It astounds me the extent to which people let fandom demolish any logical sense they might have.

    weow...

    What Oregon guys? They sure as f*** can't run with Ches and Jenkins. If you're saying that they can run with Winn and Neuman who cares. You're talking about guys that will finish in the 70-80 range on a normal day.

    You may want to Google "sarcasm". Oregon may not be the only team training through pre-nats.
