Colorado's Erin Clark looks to have a 2009 Jenny Barringeresce race and finished 133rd today. Definitely cost CU a team title...as they still took third only 9 points from first place Oregon.
Hard not to feel bad for Clark as she's a senior and has been their team leader all senior.
Anyone know if she was sick or injured? As CU ever one a women's XC title? It was theirs to win this season.
Erin Clark off day costs Colorado women NCAA XC title!

Either she was sick or more likely.....
She was secretly trained from her days at South Eugene High School to infiltrate Colorado's top 7 her senior year and cost them a championship allowing Oregon to win. -
She probably just freaked out but you could be right. This was a bigger fix than the 1919 World Series

Colorado women won in 2000 and in 2004. It's been awhile

Thanks, TRUMP

You are right, she got off course looking for a Safe Space.

For those not around for the 2009 race, here is the summary goo.gl/euqHNl

If she placed down in the field she had an off day. It happens. Team still placed 3rd and that's a great result.

sickness? flu? -
It just happens. Clark is a great runner, and will be back. Same as Cheserek. Has there ever been a XC runner who didn't have a less than stellar race?

Dan Petty of the Denver Post had a few nice articles on the Buffs that we didn't get up on the front page.

It's got some quotes from Wetmore, who said they didn't get out hard enough, and Clark.
Clark:
“I feel really awful right now because I didn’t do my job for this team today, and I wish I could have,†Clark, a senior from Eugene, Ore., said through tears. “The gun went off, and pretty quickly it went downhill from there. I don’t really know why. Within the first mile, something about my legs, they just felt so heavy.â€
