Im and alum and I don’t think they have a coach right now which is insane for an athletic department that prides itself on being one of the top ten in the country.
I understand coaching limits but they have almost unlimited resources and can get a quality coach there EASILY.
On the track they are doing great under Langford, but at least try in XC
Ceili McCabe not listed.... Maybe she is sitting out this season?
McCabe is classified as "redshirt/unattached" for 2023 XC on TFRRS. Maybe being extra cautious ahead of the long runup to Paris. Could she still race for Team Canada at World XC Champs on March 30, 2024? Hopefully we'll see her healthy and fit at BU in Dec.

That would make sense. She competes as an individual at NCAAs so why burn her out in an Olympic year.
6 in ahead of BYU’s 4 if I’m seeing that right. Really impressive. Even if Clinger was running I don’t see that result changing by 30 points. I’m hoping Ok State has been running angry behind the nationals loss to make a big statement at nats this year. Still can’t believe NCAA uses a comparison tiebreaker instead of 6th runner. Reward depth! 1-5 already had their chance to make a difference. Still bitter about it and I like NAU, just a terrible rule.

with BYU's 5th being 17 Clinger might have dropped their score ~10 points.
I hadn’t realized Davin Thompson was out for the season, that would have made the race much more interesting. Cool to see the freshmen making an impact this year but I’m too lazy to go on BYU’s page to see if they are true freshmen or mission redshirts.
OSU men will win 150% over BYU. Will score under 25 points if they run their full squad.
Women’s side…I’m not sure, unlike most posters on here I don’t really follow that side. I’m guess OSU due to their front fire power and it’s a smaller meet.
1/2 correct pretty much. OSU dominates race with 25 points, victor S seemingly stayed back and did a threshold tempo. Just like last year OSU is 7 deep really really solid All-American like guys. BYU needs Clinger and the other twin to have a podium shot. Seems like people didn’t like the thought of OSU winning, that’s why they downvoted my post.
I personally think OSU will bring it hard to NAU in Virginia. Let’s see how the women’s results play out!!

yes, let's see what the mysterious OSU W team has and how BYU compares

It's been clear for a long time that OSU is better on paper. But XC isn't run on paper. Crazy things always happen at nationals. Example: BYU had no business beating NAU in 2019. They had far better teams on paper in 2018 and 2017 but got clobbered by NAU. 2019 was supposed to be a down year.
I personally think OSU is better than NAU on paper. If everyone runs the way they're supposed to, they'll be national champs. But crazy things happen in the real world.
