Official 2015 Heps XC thread

If you remove the seniors from 2014, here are the rough scores, with # returning:

Men

Princeton 51 - 2 of 5

Cornell 80 - 4 of 5

Dartmouth 112 - 4 of 5

Penn 113 - 4 of 5

Yale 116 - 4 of 5

Columbia 127 - 3 of 5

Harvard 143 - 3 of 5

Brown 181 - 2 of 5

Princeton only returns 2 of 5 but still has the low score factoring in their second 5. 2nd through 5th place could be very close although it looks like Cornell has the upper hand.

Women

Princeton 54 - 4 of 5

Dartmouth 61 - 4 of 5

Columbia 77 - 4 of 5

Cornell 98 - 4 of 5

Yale 127 - 4 of 5

Penn 139 - returns all 5

Brown 149 - 4 of 5

Harvard 155 - 2 of 5

Princeton and Dartmouth are very close, although Princeton returns the low stick (Curham).

Actually, Bill, it looks like they *don't* return Curham:

I'd heard some noise about her taking a semester/year away--maybe this early roster confirms it. (Although haven't there been cases when students who were studying abroad were brought in for one or two big meets?)

Anyway, possibly an opportunity for a Dartmouth three-peat?

As near as I can tell, still no official "incoming" release from Brown. We already have Columbia; next (alphabetically) is Cornell:

Richard Buchanan

Binghamton, N.Y./Susquehanna Valley HS/College of Human Ecology

Buchanan was a six-time sectional champion at Susquehanna Valley and finished second in the New York state championship in the 1600 meters with a time of 4:12.64.

Tyler Fisher

Port Charlotte, Fla./Port Charlotte HS

A gritty cross country runner, Fisher also ran distance on the track. He was the Florida Relays 3200 meters champion in 2015 and holds a 3200 personal best of 9:16.

Roc Johnson

Walnut Creek, Calif./De la Salle HS/College of Arts and Sciences

A North Coast Section champion in the 1600 meters as a senior, Johnson holds personal bests of 1:56.71 in the 800, 4:17.53 in the 1600 and 9:27.35 in the 3200.

As a senior at Crescent Valley High School, McGowen was state champion in the 1500 meters and third in the state in the 800 after becoming district champion in both for the second consecutive year and being named Second Team All-League. [I found 1:54 and 3:59 for him.]

Duanesburg, N.Y./Duanesburg HS/College of Arts and Sciences

Murphy was a four-time letter winner as a distance runner for the Duanesburg High School track team and earned three letters in cross country. In 2014, he was the NYSPHSAA cross country individual state champion in Class D. [I found 4:19 and 9:26 for him.]

A captain and four-time letter winner in track and cross country, Phillips was an Ohio state champion in the 4x800 relay and was named to the Plain Dealer All Star Team. [I found 1:56 and 4:50? for him, but they say he'll be running cross-country.]

New York, N.Y./Fiorello H. LaGuardia HS for Music & Art and Performing Arts/Architecture, Art and Planning

An accomplished distance runner, Reimer was the New York City cross country champion, finishing the 5k course in 16:40. He also earned city championships in the indoor and outdoor 3200 meters.

A relative newcomer to year-round distance running, Brumley had a terrific senior year, placing sixth in the California Division 2 state cross country meet and setting personal bests of 2:14 for 800 and 4:54 for 1600 meters on the track. A two-time captain in both cross country and track, she led the cross country team to a league championship in 2014 and track to a league championship in 2015.

Brenna Remick

Holmdel, N.J./St. John Vianney HS/College of Arts and Sciences

Annie Taylor

Charlottesville, Va./Western Albemarle HS/College of Engineering

Perennially one of the top middle distance and distance runners in Virginia throughout her high school career, Taylor was the Virginia 3A Outdoor Track & Field Champion in the 1600 meters. [I found 2:16, 3:01, 5:01, and 10:16m for her.]

The sixth-place finisher at the 2014 Oregon state cross country meet, Todd was also one of the top runners in the state in track, with personal bests of 4:44 for 1500 and 10:06 for 3000 meters.

Okay, continuing through the alphabet we now have Dartmouth. I haven't found an official newcomers announcement for them, but preliminary xc rosters are up:

http://www.dartmouthsports.com/SportSelect.dbml?SPSID=48826&SPID=4710&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=11600&SORT_ORDER=5&Q_SEASON=2015&PRINTABLE_PAGE=

Sorry, I can't be bothered to look up the performances for all of them. Perhaps we can rely on some Big Green fan to do that. Or maybe the Dartmouth SID folks will get their act together on this. Or something.

Moving to Penn: also no "incoming" announcement that I could see easily, but at least they have some times on their players' bios.

Whoa, some quality pickups for the Elis!

Sorry for the lack of input in this thread over the summer (it's been rather busy for me).

As for the incoming freshman class, a lot of them were announced on the national letter of intent day back in April 2015 (http://hepstrack.com/blog/2015/04/16/welcome-to-the-ivy-league/) but we have slowly filled in the gaps over the course of the summer. The Ivy schools have been slowly releasing their frosh rosters since May - I know Penn did theirs before the end of May 2015. Good to know Cornell's roster is finally available. Brown has always been a bit slow and thin on their reporting, so it does not surprise me that it is still bare.

And guess where HepsXC is going to be? Back at Van Cortlandt Park, and on a Friday 10/30. I'm not sure if I can guarantee that day off for me for a trip to NYC, but I expect it would be a great turnout for all schools due to the number of alumni that live nearby.

Also, Princeton will be hosting the Mid-Atlantic Regional race, also on a Friday 11/13. Geez, why are all of the races going back to Fridays? Paul Short Invite is now on a Friday (it's been on Saturdays the last few years). At least NCAAs will be on a Saturday.

Curham is going to take a semester off? How interesting. I wasn't expecting her to compete at HYP anyways.

HYP men is done.

Thomas Purnell (H) wins the 8km in 24:48, but Princeton gets the overall team title with a 2,3,4,9,13 finish. No idea at this time on who those runners are (getting results from twitter) or what the scores were for Harvard or Yale. It looked from the Twitter images that it was a big pack throughout the 3+ lap race.

HYP women are underway...

HYP men scores:

Princeton - 31 (2,3,4,9,13)

Yale - 47 (5,6,8,10,18, 20*, 21*)

Harvard - 47 (1,7,11,12,16, 17*, 19*)

Elizabeth Bird gets the HYP women's title, but no word on who won the team battle yet...

Harvard edges Princeton for the HYP women's title by 1 point.

Harvard - 36 (2,3,6,11,14, 15*,16*)

Princeton - 37 (1,5,9,10,12,17*,19*)

Yale - 50 (4,7,8,13,18,20*,21*)

Cornell and Columbia with Army, Manhattan, So. Conn. (women only), and Hofstra at VCP on Friday, 9/11:

http://www.gojaspers.com/fls/12500/stats/crosscountry/2015/Jasper-Complete-Results.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=12500

Both Ivy men's squads basically ran as packs for most of the way. A lopsided score in Cornell's favor, but after the Big Red's scoring five Columbia put nine men in front of Cornell's #6 (Dominic DELUCA!).

Somewhat similar results on the women's side. No telling how many people from both Ivy schools sat this one out, for whatever reasons. Probably a bunch, this early in the season.

I did find the Penn announcement:

The Brown rosters are up, but they don't seem to include any times. Anyway:
