FYI - Harvard did not race Abbe Goldstein or Anna Juul, who have been some of their top runners earlier this season.

Well, the Nuttycombe race was "interesting"...

Harvard had two different men leading at various points in the race -Hugo Milner at 2km, Kiernan Tuntivate at 4km - but Milner DNFed and Tuntivate really died, finishing 57th overall (24:21.4)

Conor Lundy (Pr) was the top Ivy finisher in 31st place (24:05.6), leading to Princeton being the top Ivy men's team of the day and edging out Columbia's Kenny Vasbinder (24:06.1)

17. Princeton, 486; 31-40-126-142-147-(169)-(181)

28. Harvard, 673; 57-60-166-190-200-(206)

32. Columbia, 737; 32-105-184-199-217-(227)-(229)

NAU dominated the team race while Edwin Kurgat of Iowa State got the individual win.

Abbe Goldstein is out for season, She posted on her instagram that she is stepping away from intense training to try to figure out complicated GI issues.

Anyone know about Anna Juul?

That sucks for Abbe. I hope she gets healthy soon.

Anyone know if there will be a Heps preview article this year?

Could the meet champions win D2?

Yes.

Princeton beats Colorado School of Mines.

Princeton @ Nuttecombe:

1. 24:05

2. 24:09

3. 24:48

4. 24:54

5. 24:55

50 second spread, split squad + their own Invitational the next day.

Colorado School of Mines@ Fort Hayes Invitational:

1. 24:08

2. 24:34

3. 24:43

4. 25:11

5. 25:21

73 point spread, full squad.

Harvard would probably beat them too.

Ironically, Mines is equal in academic rigor to Ivy engineering, easily.

....Not so much Adams, Chico, Grand Valley, Southern Missouri or the rest of d2 top 10.

By the size of the chip in your shoulder, you obviously went to a d2 school.

Which one?

To answer your question, Yes.

Princeton would win d2 xc nationals.

Harvard or Princeton would win t&f d2 championships.

Harvard would smoke all sprint and field d2 schools

Columbia would outmatch any d2 mid distance programs.

You're trying to prove that D2 is more competitive than it is by comparing the nation of D2 with a non top tier D1 conference.

What I struggle to understand is why?

D2 is openly less competitive. You choose to compete in D2 knowing full well that it is separate from the competition of D1. You chose an easier level of competition.

I am not trying to "diss" or insult D2. I think its a great place to compete, I think its an amazing option to continue your passion for running and competition throughout college without the intensity of D1. But it is a lower level of competition. People get so riled up that it isn't as covered as D1, or that it is overlooked or doesn't get attention. Of course it doesn't. Why would it? People want to discuss the best runners and teams in the country. Certainly there is talent in D2 but nowhere near the depth and standard of D1. It's easy to see. I undestand that money and resources arent poured into basically a junior varsity, or minors version of running

I ran in D2, and was competitive. I loved it. But I chose to compete at a less competitive level.

What does "all american" mean in D2? I wouldn't be anywhere near all-american in D1. They aren't the same thing. They shouldn't be compared. They are different experiences, and D2 doesn't make you slow or less talented, but you do have to recognize your choices and be realistic about the differences.

stop talking about D2 on a Heps thread. cant say that anyone gives a rats ass about it

once more for the people in the back!

Are Princeton men going to lose their winning streak? The depth of their squad is lacking, and they don't seem to be the same squad they were the past few years. Wondering how they will contend in the MidAtlantic as well?

Next I remember was I was running through through a house and I got lost and off course. I wasn't sure what room to go in

I have this exact scenario as a recurring nightmare.

What does it mean?

I feel Yale has a tiny chance this year - better than the recent past.

My WAG Probabilities of winning (Men) --although I'm not really super well-informed:

.43 Princeton

.17 Harvard

.15 Penn

.12 Dartmouth

.09 Yale

.02 Columbia

.01 Cornell

.01 Brown

Please tell me where I am misguided.
