NCAA XC darkhorse picks

Boise Broncos

What worries me is the guys BYU rested....as individuals, they are known for their consistent races all year long. You throw in a great and wonderful coach like Eyestone...and I'm worried. I'm just not a big BYU sports fan.

Keith Kelly

Paige Stoner of Syracuse will have a huge day. I don't think she will win, but she's not even in FloTrack's top 25. Watch her get top 10.

Joe Klecker is my dark horse after Knight, Fisher, and the random Kenyans that will be up there. But I don’t think Knight is losing. He will toy with this field and then blow them away.

Is Schweizer considered a dark horse now? People seem higher on Kurgat and Purrier. I find it had to pick against the reigning XC, indoor, and outdoor champ, and 4th at USAs. No other woman in this race comes close to that resume.

Reinsberger.

naw, most people have her at #2 right now

What about that French guy who runs for Portland? Could he keep up with Knight and Fisher?

I would like to see Allie in contention for the win like she did as a frosh.

he looked good, but I don't think he will contend for the win, near 10-15 area I would say

I think Cuse and Colin Bennie have some upset potential. Cuse winning as a team, and Bennie getting top 5-10.

Emmanuel Rotich from Tulane. I don't think he's lost yet this season, and the time he threw down at Belmont here in Philly is blazing. Sub-25 there took down Travis Mahoney's (13:48/8:36 steepler) course record by 20 seconds.

This thread would be useless without picks.

Upset pick of the century is UCLA.

They’ll be hard pressed to get top 30.

Bethan Knights

Are they back from China?

Jonathan MF Green!

Can Cuse really be considered a darkhorse, I'd say not, even if BYU and NAU are so strong.

FURMAN is the name to watch, expect great things.
