Official 2019 NCAA D1 XC/Road Race Regional Discussion Thread

I've got access to many sets of boots on the ground in Buffalo. I had one guy go to what was supposed to be the start of the race today and made a short video.

rojo's secret source texted:

"This is the starting line. They made the right call. Another issue would have been there is no place to warm up. All surrounding sidewalks and side roads are ice covered."

FSU women with two sophs and three juniors in their scoring five.

On men's side, Ole Miss ran a patient pack race to take the win over Middle Tenn St, which was weighed down by their fifth scorer.

Temps in upper 40s in Tallahassee; rained overnight but stopped before the first race of the day.

From using the xcquals.com calculator, both Alabama (#30) and FSU (#31) get the final at-large berths when you enter the South actual results and default for all of other regions.

Hmm... the Bo calculator doesn't have South Carolina in the women's regional rankings.

I think it will be interesting to see how many 4%/Next% shoes we see during the race. If I was in the race I would be finding the closest running store and getting a pair.

As someone who went to the Heps meet a few weeks ago, God I'm stunned by the NE women's results. Columbia wins heps but is only 4th.

Cornell was 6th at Heps which is kind of where most expected them and they make it to NCAAs? That's incredible.

Dartmouth 8th? That's probably about right but how in the hell did they get last at Heps? THey lost to Brown who was 16th today.

Providence in 10th? I knew they had fallen off but I'm so used to them being good.

Then individiually, KAYLEY DELAY of Yale who won Heps was only the 7th heps finisher today.

Cornell getting in is bad for bubble teams as there is one less spot for ranked teams but then again tons of people will have points over them.

Looking at the Vaporfly to non-Vaporfly ratio on the starting line right now for the NE men. Seems like quite a few teams are in them (Cuse, some individual athletes, UB, Uconn, a blue and white team I don't recognize, and by the looks of it at least some Cornell runners). A few teams appear to be split between VF/non-VF.

MidWest women's race is done.

1. Illinois, 108

2. Tulsa, 123

3. Minnesota, 130

4. OK state, 158

5. Missouri, 171

So the Cornell runners used the Thons to go from no-chance to NCAAs on the women's side? Having worked there for 10 years, I'm stunned they would have spent $4k on Vaporflys.

I know I could look it up, but I don't want to.. How many individuals from non qualifying teams advance in each region automatically and how many wild cards?
