RIT with a big 3rd. Good enough for a berth?
I TOLD YOU THEY'D DO IT. YOU ALL CALLED BS AND NOW WHAT? 3RD! 3RD, YOU MOFOS, 3RD! IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR A BID TO ST. LOUIS I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. HELLS YEAH! 3RD. DON'T SLEEP ON MY BOIIIIIZ
Region gets 4
Why was every geneseo runner lubed up? Looks like they blew there load before the race even started.
Rowan better hope that the South only gets two bids. York got fourth today in the Mideast with a big gap over 5th. York beat Rowan at their home meet just a few weeks ago and is ranked ahead of Rowan.
Not a chance, everyone knows the Atlantic is much stronger than the Mideast.

They properly JPD tapered, what can I say? Splooge is good for blocking the icy nip of the wind.
The region takes 2. RIT is trash.
Word on the course is, they had their whole team (men and woman) jack off etc. on their running athletes...
That's a bold strategy Cotton let's see if it pays off!
Serious Post...
It's all about the regionals. Coaches like John Izzo and Jim Nichols almost always (not this year for Ithaca) had their teams run the best race of the season at regionals. Usually a lot better than any other races during the season. It wasn't accidental. If you are willing to sacrifice your whole season for that one race it's amazing what you can do.
Brockport coach needs to look at past results. Claims her mens team had best finish since 2007.... wrong 2010 finished 11th place. Dont make your teams and yourself out to be better than you are.

You could do that when you knew how many teams went to NCAAs before regionals (2005 and before). If you do that now you better be top 3 in the region or not only will your team not go to NCAAs but it will hurt the region getting teams as well. You want to go to NCAAs beat teams from other regions (or at the very least don't lose to other regions).
That's why i believe the Region only takes two this year. RIT beat one semi-decent team all year and that was a 35th Ranked CWRU team at their home invite. CWRU only finished 7th in the Great Lakes Region. Theyhave no reason to do well at Nationals and the committee knows it.

They didn't lose to anyone either and they beat Rowan and NYU who did beat teams. They have a better case than TCNJ did last year who had bad loses. The region will get 4 for sure, most likely 5. There aren't enough teams out there that beat other teams, and most other bubble teams have a loss.
All Team and Individual Scenarios: SLU Not likely to send anybody on the Men's side to Nationals for the first time in a very long time. I say 4 teams make it with a small chance for 5.

Of course a team like RIT comes in and ruins our seriously good region. The committee is going to look at us and laugh when they see that they finished third. It's a shame really I would have loved to see NYU compete will at Nationals too. Maybe next year boys.
Gotta reward a good days at regionals rather than punish bad days in October...
Not to say that will happen as for a couple years in a row RPI was left home for having bad days in October then beating teams at Regionals.
Don’t whine if you get beat by a team that peaks right at regionals, you should have run better.
How to tell everyone who posts on this thread is from Geneseo: Nobody has even mention how GOC took IGC to school yesterday. Yes, it's only regionals and not nationals. But still, its worth noting and nobody has said a word

More along the lines of, how to tell that nobody on this thread is from Geneseo: It's still very active and all of the RIT kids are just talking about how great they raced while the NYU kids is sad that they didn't peak for regionals. Meanwhile, Geneseo and RPI are busy getting ready for nationals while people like you are trying to boost their own ego by thinking that good runners look at/post on letsrun, which we all know isn't true.

Well if anything, my post about GOC beating IGC would indicate I'm from RPI. So maybe I'm "getting ready for nationals" too. Also, have you even read this thread? There has been like 2 posts about RIT running well at regionals. And I'm sure NYU doesn't care they didn't peak at regionals, since they made nationals anyway.
Regardless, region sends 5. NYU and Rowan are going to choke at nationals, both in the bottom 5. RIT get around 25th, RPI gets 7-10th and Geneseo gets 4th-7th
