Hopkins women beat numerous D1 teams every year and probably would be ranked in the D1 top 25 most years...

Do people here not watch the Athlete Special (Georgetown D1 runner/sub 4 miler) on youtube?!? In one of his videos he's talking with some of the new freshmen on the team (first day of practice) and one of the guys explains that they're "just going to run 5:15 miles" and that it's basically just a group tempo run.
Another example of why DIII should not be allowed to compete against DI
D3 teams beat mid-majors all the time. There is so much ignorance in this thread.
Elaborating on what others have said, there are 85 scholarships in football but only 12.6 combined for track and XC. So there are really only a few scholarships for distance running making the difference between D1 and D3 pretty small as compared to football.

I'm not picking sides, but I did this meet with two different universities (transferred) and watched as a spectator. I would never classify this course as hilly, though I'll meet you half-way and say that because it is so open out near Mount St. Mary's that the sun and wind can feel fierce on the right day. These times are consistent with guys who were running low 25s for 8k later in the season on a moderate course. I can't speak on behalf of every school in this race, but it is a popular race for underclassmen or guys who aren't racing the Naval Academy meet (if that's still around) the upcoming week or two. I ran 16:0X there when I was a freshman and was not ready to run varsity, and that was a solid effort. Even then our coach told us to keep a pack and only turn it on the last 1/2 mile or so.
500!?!?!? Try maybe 50-100.
American and GW are terrible programs.
How do you know the course was long?
Reading the results, GU guys all ran the same time, 16:06, so they clearly were not racing.
It also looked those names are expected to be their top guys, which isn’t encouraging either.
If that was actually a correctly executed threshold effort it would indicate 31:15 10k fitness. That’s discouraging.
This was a 5K race only, Georgetown guys avg. 16:06 and probably could have run 15:06 and buried Hopkins, please.
John Hopkins can't say Bradley Cooper is an alum.

Unfortunately, the race results do not include asterisks for "just a tempo".
No, but D1 guys understand.

Say, do you run for Kentucky?
I think it would be great to show up at the start against Georgetown eating a Big Mac. "Ya want some? .....here."
