The NAU machine continues to roll. Today, with 3 freshmen in their top 5, they wiped out the competition in Terre Haute, site of this year's NCAA championships, defeating Stanford 31 to 51.
And this was without running Blaise Ferro (12th returner from NCAA last year/ 13:50/28:22) and Geordie Beamish (#22 returner, NCAA mile champ).
The good news for the Cardinal is that while the team score wasn't close, their 5 man average of 24:17 was only 10 seconds off of NAU and that's with NCAA steeple champ Stephen Fahy running as Stanford's #7 (just 23rd).
