Fisher will choke and get like 6th.
Also, team results will be BYU, 'Cuse, NAU top 3.
Can you name like one bad race Grant has ever had? Let alone choked in
Team result wouldn't surprise me although I don't think Cuse will get 2nd, BYU will win though
Canada goes 1,2,3
Knight, Linkletter, Fisher

Exactly. Fisher is a titan when it comes to racing. He doesn't have bad days, and he often has great days. I don't think Knight chokes either, but he sometimes gets the tactics wrong or just hasn't been the best on the day.
I think the real problem with Fisher is that he's too dang realistic. Especially his freshman year, but also last year at NCAA XC, he just didn't seem to view himself as an actual contender, so he didn't put himself in position to win races. And then he'd have a huge kick and run pretty well and act surprised (I have the same criticism of Drew Hunter, but that's irrelevant for the NCAA). Having won the outdoor 5000 though, I have a feeling Fisher views himself as a contender in the NCAA, and won't have the same issue anymore, until he goes pro, if he goes pro.

Jonathan Green. Massachusetts cross legend.
Am I still banned?
Cool. Fisher takes it.

Did you catch the Regional results? Fisher in 11th. Not impressed.
Did you not see he was clearly running alongside his teammates, not worried about winning a regional?

Fisher ran Regionals with teammates and was not all-out. I thought everyone knew that.
baxter to push the pace the whole way and take a suprise 3rd
The Knight/Fisher and BYU/NAU match up will make this one of the most epic championship races in recent memory.
I think Knight takes it, but will not be surprised at all if Fisher wins, he always seems to exceed expectations on the big stage. But, this is Knight's year (and Fisher will have his next year).
I think NAU takes the team crown. Resting guys at regionals is a bad omen (ask Knight and Ratcliffe). Now, NAU and BYU both rested their freshmen, but BYU is going to need Clinger a lot more than NAU is going to need Grijalva. I just cannot have my confidence in a team that's counting on a freshman being an all-american (and probably going to need him more like top 25) in their very first 10K. But again, won't be surprised at all if BYU wins.
Top 5 individuals:
Knight
Fisher
Kiprop
Kigen
Linkletter
Top 4 teams:
NAU
BYU
Portland

That's exactly what they want you to think.

didn't post what I said for some reason, but yes grant was just doing a tempo basically, plan before the race I know for a fact...
If Gilbert “Gil the Thrill” Kigen was on my butt in the last 400 I’d be spooked.
It will be a very fast race throughout. Nothing tactical about this course. It's basically a big track (no sharp turns, no hills of any signifigance) with no real place to gap the field. With that being the case, everyone will try and make it a fast race to take the sting out of the kickers. Whoever hangs on and is there with a mile to go wins. Knight is too strong and too fast. Fisher is a stud, but needs a slightly slower race to have his kick.

I had to look him up myself after he won the Mid-Atlantic. He's run 13:45 indoor, respectable.
Not picking him but always good idea to keep an eye on the regional winners.

why do you say that?
Exactly my thought. What is he talking about? this is NCAA cross country nationals , nothing to do with Bekele.
Green then Jacob choge
Kid who said who’s green , why commenting here if you don’t know the top Americans every year
