NAU sub 14 guys

Ummm BYU had 3 guys under 13:40 in the same race yesterday. So I don’t know what you’re talking about saying they only have 1 under 14 rn

You are right. BYU is now up to 5 guys at sub 14 this outdoor season

I think that every XC championship team does this or comes close to it.

No. Having a sub 14 guy sit at home during NCAA because you already have 7 other sub 14 guys, has never been seen.

You are wrong. Adams St did this within the past decade. I want to say 2011? Maybe 2010. If a D2 school has done this, I'm sure another school has, too.

I distinctly remember Florian Theophile running 13:59 in the spring, yet did not make nationals team that fall.

I doubt that they had 8 who ran that in one season. But if you have the list, I would like to be proven wrong.

8 is a big number

1. BYU - 13:42.23

2. NAU - 13.42.78

Anyone willing to go and calculate the top5, top6 ,top7, top8 avgs?

BYU is leading this race right now.

5 sub 14 and one guy at 14:01 (BYU) vs 5 sub 14 and one guy at 14:08 (NAU)

They will both have 6 or 7 (maybe more) by the time the season ends

NAU can get up to 7 sub 14 guy (outdoor 2018) this week, since both Trouard and Lomong are entered in the 5000m at Payton Jordan.

BYU can only get up to 6, since only Young is running.

NAU could therefore regain the lead.

Wisconsin has a 13:19 WL from McDonald, a 13:46 from Hardy, and Hoare has a 7:51i, and a 3:37; I would guess he would be good for a 13:3x 5000, and had four guys run 29 for 10,000 in the first outdoor meet of the season. Hacker who ran 13:59 last year has not opened yet.

After payton jordan last night it appears that BYU and NAU have some of the best 5k depth of all time.

NAU Top 5

Andy Trouard - 13:21.07

Matt Baxter - 13:31.00

Tyler Day - 13:40.22

Luis Grijalva - 13:49.75

Blaise Ferro - 13:50.16

Top 5 Avg = 13:38.44

BYU Top 5

Clayton Young - 13:37.60

Rory Linkletter - 13:37.98

Connor McMillan - 13:38.88

Daniel Carney - 13:39.95

Conner Mantz - 13:52.12

Top 5 Avg = 13:41.31

Have any other teams had this good of an average through 5 guys??? Also NAU top 3 average is a ridiculous 13:30.76, again any other team that has done that??? Also out of this group is Trouard the only one not running xc next fall?? WOW

Plus based on the way Baxter, Day and McMillan ran in the 10k you would think they could run faster in the 5k as well.

BYU keeps the lead. Now 6 to 6, but BYU has a faster 7th at 14:01

It also doesn't look like Lomong will be able to go sub 14 (he ran a very slow 10000m)

The season is pretty much over

Therefore BYU now has the record. Six sub 14 with the 7th at 14:01. What this means is that a 14:01, 8:43 steeple guy (Heslington is presently ranked 9th in the NCAA in the steeple and could finish the season ranked even higher) was not good enough to be on their XC team (top 7), given that BYU's top finisher at NCAA XC did not run this spring.

Heslington would have been the #1 XC runner of the vast majority of NCAA schools.

Unless someone can come up with proof of a school having 7 (or more) sub 14 guys in a single season, than BYU has the record

This record could go down next year.

Strange irrelevant stat. There are no records of”most sub 14 5k athletes” but there was an NCAA Xc champion. That was NAU. Please get over the fact that BYU got a wee bit nervous and pissed down their leg went it actually counted. Since it is 2018 and everyone gets a trophy then why not make one up about sub 14 5k guys.

r.

Heslington is now an 8:39.3 steepler who was too slow to make his school's XC team this year.
