My review of the region meet:
1. Wtf happened to Wartburg? Pinkowski and Appleton both bombed. They have so many studs that it didn’t matter, but they had a relatively horrible day.
2. Carleton had about as good of a day as they could have hoped for, but still came up a little short. Lucas is clearly back, but he needs to get some of Wilkinson’s Big d*ck energy and shoot for a top 15 finish next week. Great race for Henry Bowman.
3. Olaf went after it today and it payed off big time. They were actually in 2nd place at 3 and 5k, but they faded a little bit at the end. Props to Kadrofske for coming on strong to secure third place, as well as a nice bounce back for Brenk. They made the right adjustments after conference.
4. St. Thomas didn’t do particularly well or poorly. They earned their way in by beating Olaf at conference, but they were pretty far behind today.
5. Ham dogs and Gusties are legit. Stumbo and Grant are an even better duo than Evan Jones and Knobbe. No one else from the conference really stood out, although Tremayne did decently considering the way his cards were dealt.
6. Miac did a number on the American Rivers conf. Miac had 15 of the top 25.
No idea how to gauge nationals performances for UST or STO, but Carleton has potential for a top 10 finish. Wilkinson has a good chance at top 10 overall, Mueller, Meikle, and Wachter all have a chance for All American.
the previous post was in reference to the women's race. UST men qualified as a team. No at large teams were selected on the women's side.
