Initial thoughts: williams will win, amherst will be second, midd third, trinity will come in last, conn will also come in last, wesleyan will disband their program, hamilton will realize they're not in new england, tufts will do ok, colby will be somewhere, and bowdoin will also be somewhere.
Bates? FTW
Lol. Who cares about D3

D3 people. Duh
Bates will beat tufts
nescac's will be cancelled this year due to the Iran War
this is true. what nescac runners do we think will go first in the draft?
Tufts wxc has new recruits coming in rumor has it...
Is clark returning?
Ryan Cox update?
The Nescac and NE region as a whole lost some studs this year - MacDonald, Mason, Clark, Cosmo, Brunette, Perlman. The top 10 is going to be a little weak
Which teams have the biggest losses from last year going into this season?
for women- Trinity College women and Tufts have some recruits coming in who made a mark for their high schools/prep
Perlman warn't no xc stud, y'all playin. Amherst gonna get 5 D1 transfers and roll through the 'CAC, everyone else will tie for last. Except for Ryan COX cuz he and his thunder thighs are gonna drop some fools on his home course
colby will win this year, you heard it here first. wesleyan will come in second. here's the rest:
3. Midd
4. Conn
5. Trinity
6. Amherst
7. Bates
8. Tufts
9. Williams
10. Hamilton
11. Tufts
Bates returns their top 4 from regionals. James Jones should be a low stick again this year even though he had a spotty track season. Bart Rust ran some impressive steeple races as a freshman and you have to give it up to him finishing 72 at NESCAC then moving up to 27 in the region. They could be a top 3 team, up there with Williams and Middlebury.
Way to early ranking based on history, returners and track:
1. Williams - Great 1,2 punch. Expect a slow start from Cox after being abroad but will wind up in the top 3 at 'CAC
2. Middlebury - Buying low on D'Aquaila. Theo Henderson had good steeple races in the spring, will be a solid 2.
3. Bates - See above.
4. Amherst - very strong 1,2 punch in Clark and SFD but can they reload the back end of the top 5
5. Colby
6. Tufts
7-11. Conn, Hamilton, Trinity, Wesleyan is no particular order.
Everyone always underestimates Conn smh
Why is Clark not returning? I dont think he is but not sure as to why. He would be a senior right?
Anyone on here use Strava? Follow for follow??
Strava is useless
