2019 D3 Atlantic Region XC

Definitely the disgruntled 6th man

Well it’s unfair since the Jersey guys can just hit us over the head for having Oneonta in our state. Schools like RIT and RPI are far superior than anything that NJ could ever dream of producing outside of

Princeton. NY needs to just detach the bottom feeders (Oneonta, Clarkson, etc)

Why didn't Hassan Eissa qualify for nationals? The list of individual selections doesn't include him even though he should be the 4th qualifier behind whitworth from new paltz and anderson from Ramapo.

Yeah, I swear I looked at the website and he was qualified yesterday, I guess they took him off for some reason?

He also didn't run his league meet. Very strange way to end a season.

Must be an injury then right? So strange, I'd love to hear why...

Who will AA from the Atlantic Region?

I think Falasco and Sean Mac are locks

This beef between a few guys at an nj school and a few guys at an ny school is so ridiculous. Both states ran well yesterday and both states are sending a few individual qualifiers. I'm guessing that the people contributing to the ruthless back and forth didn't end up running well because they clearly aren't in a great state of mind. I'm from an NY school but respect the NJ schools. And even though they aren't sending a team this year, nearly half the individual qualifiers are from NJ schools. Hats off to the runners from both states

I tend to assume that the people making those posts are at best the sixth man on their respective teams

You seriously underestimate how slow office life can be.

I think Mcaneny, falasco, holtzman, sayre, kuehn, mcdonald, ogetti, Domanico will be all American.

Maybe Jacques, sutton, page, singer, abrams, Farnham

Waaaay too many people bud. McAneny for sure. Falasco, Holtzman, and Sayre are all on the bubble. All others have no shot at all, except maybe Jacques because of his track PRs. D3 is extra weak this year, but not THAT weak.

Well there’s only 8 regions... do you really think that only 4 will make all American from the Atlantic, less than 1/8? Doubtful seeing as the Atlantic had more at large bids than almost any other region. There will most likely be 6-7 all Americans from the Atlantic

After 5 minutes of tffrs searching I have found some data to back up my claim, feel free to show me yours... Just because there are 8 regions does not mean that the all American spots get divided up equally... I'm guessing you learned statistics at a NJ school.

2012- 5 teams qualify, 2 all Americans

2013 - 4 teams qualify, 2 all Americans

2014 - 3 teams qualify, 2 all Americans

2015 - 3 teams qualify, 4 all Americans

2016 - 5 teams qualify, 4 all Americans

2017- 5 teams qualify, 4 all Americans

2018 - 4 teams qualify, 2 all Americans

Having more teams =/= having better individuals. This is a historically weak year for 1-10 at regionals (based on both cross country performances and track PRs), but the region still has decent depth which other regions lack from a team perspective. Our individuals this year just aren't that good. The individuals sent to nations in 2015, 2016, and 2017 were arguably some of the strongest the Atlantic region has sent in the past decade: Grant, Isaac, Jeremy, Otto, Veltre, etc., and eve some of those guys didn't end up getting All-American at nationals. The only person who has been running at an All American level this year at real meets (meets with lots of god runners in them) is McAneny. Having 6 teams means nothing about your upfront strength. I'm predicting 3 all Americans this year at a maximum, and 2 seems like a much more realistic number. Feel free to laugh in my face if I'm wrong, but I've been around here for awhile and know what I'm talking about.

I’ll laugh in your face when theres more than 3

That's why I said "at best." Cube life is even worse. These days I'd be cut from the roster.

Whoa what happen to Sean MacEneny At nationals ? He went from 15 to 195 between 1k and 3k? A fall?

Fell early on appearently, may have gotten trampled too. Super weird race, atlantic teams did fairly poorly but individuals did way better than expected. Some complete randos from the AR got all Americans. Will be interesting to see if they put up comparable times come track, or if this was just a really weak year for DIII which allowed some unexpected all Americans.

Quoted.

Laughing in the face of the guy who said only 3 people will be all American from Atlantic. There were 6 and Sean Mac would’ve been but he got pushed down and lost both shoes.
