Zach Barie was on the 1982 team

Oregon could probably field a better all time team

Pre, Salazar, Rupp, Chapa, and McChesney are the first 5 I can think of which would already dominate the scoring,

Colorado would have a good team as well with Torres, Goucher, Ritz, Scrutton, and Klecker isn’t half bad either

Oh and WSU of course, Lindgren, Rono, etc

Might add UTEP and Arkansas as well

Wisconsin:

Bairu

Ahmed

Solinsky

Mcdonald

Tegenkamp

Power, mmmm ok your opinion, he was a very solid team guy, not to the level of the three above

Barnicle, um......oookaayy? If this was the Sesame Street game, "One of These Things Is Not Like the Other", then I think we would have a winner. If you were kidding, then bravo! P.s. did he even finish out his HAWG eligibility, or was he kicked off?

Julius Korir.

John Ngeno and Josh Kimeto were definitely better xc runners than Lagat, Koech and Korir.

Villanova is strong through 3 runners but not sure who else would fare well in such a loaded field over 10k XC:

Sydney Maree

Patrick Tiernan

Bobby Curtis

Carey Pinkowski

Amos Korir

Terrence Mahon

Adrian Blincoe

Marty Liquori

Eamonn Coghlan

Don Paige

Marcus O’Sullivan

Pinkowski, Coghlin, Mahon and especially Paige don't make the cut, but Donal Walsh and John Hartnett do.

ETSU Irish Brigade

Neil Cusack

Edie Leddy

PJ Leddy

Kevin Breen

Ray Flynn

Kevin McBride

Seamus Power (90s addition)
