Thank you! Good first heat. Engels looks great. Saarel barely made it.

Saarel tightened up so much. Looked easy for Engels.

What has happened to Ben Saarel, he looked huge in that 1500m heat?

Seem to recall him always being quite lean, his legs and upper body looked huge in that race compared to Engels and most of the other runners!

Running style also didn't look nearly as smooth as previous xc seasons.

Craig Engels wins first heat in 3:40

I didn't think he looked huge. I think he looked like he was limping. He didn't look smooth.

I love how in the 1500. Larry Rawson said it was slow in the 2nd heat right at 300 when the 1st 300 in heat 2 was faster than heat 1. Yes by 800 it was slower.

The 2nd heat is a great example of why ALL the qualifying should be solely by times.

Nothing major to report in the 1500 heats. It's going to come down to Kerr v Engels in the final. Ivy League fans, the great season of 1500 running came to an and as the Ivy League went 0 for 4 and 0 for 5 if you count Gorman of Oregon.

Still on long break after 2 laps of first steeple heat.

Timlin from ISU ran a very smart 2nd heat.

What happened to Paulson with 200 to go? Didn't look like anything too intrusive, but he stepped off.

The coverage of this meet is consistently terrible

You can tell just how awful by going down to your high school track and...

I saw the start of a steeple, then nothing but breaks.

Fortunately we have threads like this to check results later on.

Lol Rawson just spent 45 seconds explaining wind legal only to inform us that the wind was probably gonna be legal on that race.

Meanwhile, no analysis on the race itself.

Looked like Paulson pulled his hamstring. Pretty rare occurrence in a 1500m race.
