Someone explain how Purdue men roll Texas . I guess the hype of Flotrack created a setup to fail. Texas top guy was barely 100th.

Yeah Worley kind of sucked.

I wonder how quickly Flotrack is going to get your videos taken down once they find out about those videos...

Why do they even bother fielding a team? Just combine the boys and womens teams into one coed team.

In that case I may consider requesting that they take down all my videos from their website--or all but the 3 to 5 where they paid me to contribute videos and photos. :-)

Fixed now. Sorry about that. I should have checked them. The upload page warned me that they were set private. I never set them as private as my default setting is unlisted and I attempted to change the setting at the upload page but obviously that did not work.

Kelati made her move for the win with just under 1k to go, and Monson was the only one to go with her.

Monson was 139th at NCAAs last year but made a big improvement on the track in 2018, going from 16:04 to 15:38 in the 5k. She finished 18th at NCAAs in the outdoor 5k.

The weird thing is, they were pretty decent not too many years ago. I remember they were a surprise 3rd place in the Big Ten in 2014.

How many of these teams:

A. are in the middle of a high mileage cycle

B. haven’t started interval training

C. tempoed the race

D. ran controlled as a pack

Any team worth their weight in salt.

Texas Tech had a bunch of PR's on their team, but their best runner on the team by far stayed back in Lubbock and did not make the trip for personal reasons(Nokuthula Dlamini - she lost her father and grandfather within a week of each other back home in South Africa). Course would have been perfectly suited for her with the grassy golf course setting - she likely would have competed in bare feet like she did at Louisville last year.

Monson today looked a lot like Karissa Schweitzer at 2016 NCAAs.

Course was extended this year. It used to run short.

Course measuring guy wrote:

Course was short. Compare some of the head to head competitors from ND meet and Nutty and you will see the 25 minute guys from ND as comparable to 24:15 at Nutty.

Possibly the most accurately measured XC course in the country. Men's course longer than before, women's even more so. I doubt that you can hold a candle to SH for course measurement and likely anything else to do with a course.

A very friendly Wisconsin gentlyman wearing one of the official looking blue coats saw me looking at a course map and offered advise regarding how to best see the races. He was very proud of the course. He mentioned that the golf course crew did a excellant job maintaining the course. He provided details regarding the irrigation system and drainage improvements that were made in the past. He said the course was new with fewer switchbacks due to problems with spectators on the course. He said a survey of hotels indicated 15000 for NCAAs so they reduced the number of switchbacks to lesson the problems with spectators.

I found more videos at:

Thanks so much for posting these videos. It was nice to see some former Ohio HS studs Andrew Jordan, Dustin Horter, and Arjun Jha represent well today!

They're ranked 24th in the country if they wanted to be in the A race I would think they could have been. And they definitely care about Heps, it just seems like Vig is overly cautious about racing with this team in the regular season for whatever reasons.

The reason is he is peaking his team to succeed in the post-season.

None of what happens in Sept and early October matters unless you know you are a bubble team. He is confident his team will get an auto-qualifier and wants his team ready to qualify and then run well on November 17.
