2017 D3 Atlantic Region XC

this is actually kind of funny! NYU is losing 5 of their top 7, Brockport beating Oneonta (who doesn't graduate anyone), Plattsburgh beating Ithaca (who beat them by 130+ at regionals and don't graduate anyone).

something that would actually make sense:

1. RPI (return most important kids, and their 6 and 7 guys are regionals are young)

2. SLU (graduate nobody, maybe Sidi will take it seriously and get back to where he was as a freshman)

3. Geneseo (lose a bunch but always have kids coming in and also improving. could be worse though)

4. TCNJ (graduate one and could make a name for themselves)

5. Oneonta (bombed regionals but return everyone and were running 6th in the region all year)

6. Rowan (graduate 3 of top 7, including their low stick Veltre. Henry can improve and somewhat fill those shoes though. Optimistic view would have them 4th instead of 6th)

7. RIT (graduate two and will most likely be worse than this throughout the year until regionals)

Brockport over Oneonta and Plattsburgh over Ithaca is laughable. Oneonta returns their entire top 5, which includes someone that should be one of the top 7 in the region next year. Also, that team ran pretty well at Conn. College. If McDonald had run the same meet at regionals as he did at Conn College, they would have faired better as a team (top 8 potentially). Plattsburgh has a couple of solid low sticks, but no depth. Ithaca has depth, and should be thinking top 6 next year since they return everyone.

NYU is a more interesting case. They're losing two all-region guys, including a stud in Saddler. Shirazi should be able to fill his shoes as a comparable 1, but having a comparable 2-3 to what they had this year is going to be tough for them. They will need some people to develop. They will need two people to have the jump Shirazi and DeSisto had, two guys that didn't run at regionals last year because they just weren't good enough to make the team, and hope that a 4-5 fall into place similar to what happened this year.

The only reason that Geneseo has been so good annually is because their dining hall service is MASSIVELY better than RPI and RIT. RIT has a 3 star rating., RPI has a 3.2 star rating while Geneseo has a 4.5 star rating. All 3 teams are pretty much evenly talented. Grant, IGC, and Otto could all beat each other on any given day depending on how good each one is feeling on race day. I bet if RPI or RIT had a 4.5 rated dining hall they would beat Geneso handily. I mean when it comes down to it whoever eats their beats usually wins the race. Any thoughts?

That rating is a joke -- Geneseo's dining halls are filled with overpriced junk that frequently induce hot snakes. It probably has more to do with coaching and recruiting.

2/10

RIT is trash.

You are probably some trash runner from RPI thatgot cut from the team and is trying to get back on the team by trashing RIT on letsrun

Maybe, but RIT is still trash.

RPI is going to be very good next year. They are a lock for top 10 in the country. SLU is also going to be very good. If Sidi, Ogetti, Mortensen, and Mancuso run well, they should be a top 15 team easily maybe even higher depending on how well they do. The only problem they have is a 5th man. If they have someone step up then they are gonna be good. Geneseo returns 3 from regionals and only 2 from nationals. They have big shoes to fill but they should have people to step up. Top 25 team at the worst.

RIT is still trash

truth

Where in the world is Sidi...

Friends from SLU said he's studying abroad in London this semester.

Rowan hosting regionals again.

Rating people's finishing positions at Nationals compared to Regionals. Geneseo had two runners not run nationals that ran regionals so their statistics are a little skewed. I gave them the finishing positions of the people they replaced then docked 20 points. This is really late and doesn't make a lot of sense but oh well.

Sean O'Connor disappoints me daily.

Today Our Lord Savior Ron Stonitsch woke up and slapped his dog on the bum and began to drink 10 raw eggs before beginning his morning JPD increasers at 4AM. He then hopped into his car with his trusty dog and made his way to Brick City to find out what those no good rotten Tigers(more like kittens) are up to. He reported back to us that these boys are hitting 150 mile weeks and finishing each day with 40x400HH. Time to ramp up those JPD increasers boys if you wanna have a chance at those RIT kittens. @Otto the Tomato I'm coming after YOU!

RIT is trash.
