Dorflinger- 14:18 and 5k champ two years ago indoors, 17th and 18th past two years at XC
Stupak- 4:06 mile last year indoors, 19th and 22nd past two years at XC
McMenamin- 20th last year XC, 2nd in the steeple (9:09)
next two are probably Siciliano (28th last year) and Sussman (28th, 35th last two years) based off of XC, but neither have very good track times.
classic battle with lehigh for 4th?
American is going to be a contender. Returners:
Rainey - 10th last year, 3:45 PR in 1500,
Doiron - 14th last year, 24:26 PR
Purdy - 24th last year, 24:50 PR. Looks like he just has XC eligibility, so mileage should be higher than in past as 800 specialist. Look for him to be top 10 - NY state champ in 1k, All american 7th in 2k steeplechase so has aerobic capabilities
Sommer - 25:13 PR
etc. etc.
Graham has been pushing them very hard, they are hitting massive mileage. should beat lehigh and bucknell, good shot at BU. Army and navy might be too strong but American having 3 in the top 10 can put them in contention.
etc. etc.? Who's that? Need 5 across the line in cross country. looks like purdy also has outdoor eligibility
Actually, Somers isn't listed on the roster... But it appears they do have 3 in coming freshman. Hard to contend when spread so thin.

I only see 2 incoming freshmen on the men's roster. Only 2 incoming women too.
That's insanely low, plus it looks like one of their top women from last year quit/transferred and Sommer appears to be gone too. I don't know if they have roster limits but Graham can't be happy with his recruiting class.
American might be decent this year, but next year is shaping up to be ugly.
BU finally updated 2018 roster, doesn't look like they brought in any guys that will make too big of a difference right away in XC so they'll be relying on freshmen.
Women brought in a couple solid girls but also looks like they had some transfer out. Crazy how far they've fallen since winning.
little too chubby to be score

Bucknell's women have peaked. Outdoor was just the start...how far will they fall?
Kevin Donner is on a mission, he will run them all to the brink of stress fractures just to win again.
Bucknell is in the middle of nowhere, Donner's only recruiting pitch is "We win everything" so he HAS to win.
They will put 4 in the top 5 at PL or injure their entire top 7 trying.
It may be nowhere but it is the prettiest campus in the Patriot. Definitely nicer than Lehigh for sure. Great place to run especially if you want to get a great job when you get out.
Looks like most teams are going to Bucknell on Friday - who is going to win?
The bison open results aren't on tfrrs...anyone know where to find them?
They are on Directathletics.

Two weeks out - thoughts on the League?
These Patriot League threads are always just Bucknell fanboys VS Lehigh fanboys... not.... you know... actual discussion about teams that have a shot at winning: Navy, Army, and American.
Bucknell is head and shoulders better than Lehigh this year

American? Are you fcking kidding me? American finished behind a bad lehigh team performance at princeton last weekend. Their #4 runner ran 26:24 on a dead flat course (pr of 26:06). They have 3 good runners who will be contending for all league spots, but absolutely no chance of winning because their depth is terrible. Army is the strong favorite: they took down Navy in their dual, putting 6 in front of Navy's #4. Boston U has the credentials up front to contend but has absolutely zero depth beyond #5, and a spotty #5 (26:34 at pre nats).
