Huge changes in the poll this week, as some might have expected. Besides the obvious change of Cortland moving all the way up to 4th, Elizabethtown and Haveford drop significantly, and St. Lawrence enters the poll and gets some national votes.

Not even championship season yet so it is very early. Still anyone's game.

It sure is an incredible sight to see 5 Atlantic Region teams sharing the poll. Keep it up guys.

woops, forget to mention RIT at 18. slipped right by me i guess!

make that 6 teams!

3 of the top 6 teams for the atlantic region is pretty awesome.

what a load of s*$#&* that NYU can drop from 5 to 6 in the NCAA Poll in a week they dont even run? I'll assume its based of the regional coaches poll, but one would think the conference call people who do the national poll would have more common sense. Thats what makes the at large process scary, non-students of the sport, voting off reputation and one weekends results.

Haverford still looks over ranked if you were to base it on PShort meet, and getting beat handily by cortland.

FYI- PS was a much weaker race this year than the last few.

Wow...it's a shame that these polls mean everything come NCAA Selection process time (rolls eyes)

Relax and pull up your huggies buddy, NYU will have their chance to prove once again that they are a dominant team when it counts at regionals.

Wow, I guess dropping 1 spot in the October 3rd poll will cost NYU it's chance at going to Nationals. They might as well pack it up and train for indoors now.

Seriouly, get a life.

look at abdallah last year at 24:20...did he run that again all year? or even under 25??? Paul's short.

Cortland ran better than what people think nyu is capable of running. nyu is still as good as they were before but Cortland is better than they were before. Thats why they're ranked higher. simple

Buck Futter! Buck Futter!

Looks like a fairly uneventful weekend coming up, other than Cortland going to Penn State and NYU at the Metro Champs. What are the Metro Champs? Also meets at Hamilton and Nazareth, but most of the top teams are off this weekend.

Bump...

Hey yall,

Well based on recent results my top teams and runner picks don't look too shabby, eh? I'm not one for trash talk.. but I feel I deserve some sort of apology. Let it be known that last summer, I made 12 loaves of zucchini bread. I sold each of these loaves at the local farmers market that following Sunday, at a outstanding prices of 50 cents a pop... for all you that think im a moron, you do the math! That's over a 200% profit.. still thinking this indvidual has a small brain?

"Wake up at dawn, throw on a pair of trainers and hit the streets. The normal would be sleeping, but the champion never sleeps. Fighting all odds to be the best takes time and devotion. To be something more than a man, to be a legend whose name will never be forgotten. Shouted by all, this name will not be lost. That morning while the Autumn leaves blanket the wind I pace down the road looking for something more..."

-Devoted Soul...

WOoT WoOT!

wait...wait, so are you saying the guys who are winning the region are eating zucchini bread now?

I guess the whole eating adirondack babies and drinking elk blood while chasing herds of bison across the great northern plains was a 2005 idea?

This guy might be onto something. Laugh at him all you want, he did have cortland ranked #1 and Williamson in the mix for top 5 in the region. Hmmmmmm.... much to ponder, this leaves....

Did you read my first post about them? Thats pretty much exactly what I said. Yes, it was a very very bad performance, no it makes no sense to run a big invite as a workout, nor does it make sense to train through it, but earlier results this season lead me to believe that is exactly what did happen. Either that or they are just really bad racers. Which they aren't. I just don't believe that they're that bad.

OK anyone here from NJ, or know anyone from there? Im sure they all have lives and dont visit the boards, but it would be nice to know what the hell happened at that race.

I dont know why everyone is hatin on CNJ. yes there are very good teams in the region thus far in the season such as Cortland...Geneseo ran against poor comp at pre nats and NYU hasn't had a great team race either. To put CNJ side by side with RIT is ridiculous... but look who has won the region 3 times out of the past 4 years! CNJ appears to be an end of the season team as every team should be. They will be right in the mix at regionals and will suprise people as always. "its the reason for the season"...PS everybody hates jersey, maybe its because they pump their fists and not their gas? idk

While you have Cortland at number 1, you still happen to have ITHACA at number 2, what the hell is that? You have UR ahead of Geneseo (who will beat cortland at regionals, mind you). You don't have Cloke in the top 5 individuals, nor do you have a Geneseo runner in the top 5. You get an F for effort. And who the F*** cares about zucchini?

you seem to have such a strong connection to geneseo. my guess is you were breastfed by coach woods as a kid. that might explain why every time you post on this message board you sound like a complete moron.

I refuse to believe that you are serious.

i love zuccini bread. props on the profit, by the way.
