      • The race assignments have been posted.

        College men - http://lehighsports.com/docume...df?id=3414

        College women - http://lehighsports.com/docume...df?id=3411

        Looking at the assignments, it seems that the Georgetown men (#17 nationally) may be the star of the men's gold race as the only other "full" team that is receiving votes in the field would be Navy (receiving votes). I think Columbia men (#28) will be sending their B-squad as they are in the brown race.

        The women's gold race should be more exciting as Villanova (#15), Utah State (#21), and Miss State (#24) are entered. The brown race will feature Georgetown (#23) and Columbia (RV) but I think they will be the B-squads.

        Has this race always been so weak?
        It's been going downhill over the course of the last 10 years on the D1 level as there are other more competitive races out there (i.e. Pre-Nats, Wisconsin, Roy Griak to name a few) that are being used now for NCAA points.

        I think there are bumps during the years when Lehigh hosts the Mid-Atlantic regional race, as it gives a course preview to the local schools.

      • The race is lacking some Ivy teams that usually go, but there are also some decent out of region teams like Mississippi State in attendance this year. MSU being there is a big deal for teams like Navy or Georgetown or the UTah State women, since MSU has a good shot to win an automatic bid in the South region.

        I don't think Paul Short is that different than usual. The meet has not even competed with Notre Dame, at least in my time.

        Per their schedule, I'm guessing Columbia will be sending their A team to Indiana for the Sam Bell XC Invite (Saturday). Indiana has not released a list of entries or schools competing yet on the meet website.

        Neither have cross but it's ok because the Mid Atlantic Region is garbage

        I want so badly to live in a world where the relatively simple task of live streaming a big XC race is standard. It's not expensive to do relative to the money made on entry fees and such. GEEEZ

        Could you make this constructive? I feel your pain. How does one do this easily? Can you lay out the equipment and steps needed? I think a big problem is people putting on meets don't know how, despite it being relatively simple I'm sure. I certainly don't know how to do this, but if I did I'd be more than happy to give it a shot at the next meet we go to.
