Atantic Region XC - D3

Thanks for the update. As you can probably tell from all the talk on this thread, this looks to be an very strong region in terms of producing AA's and/or champions. November will be very exciting to say the least.

I did some research and it looks like this for the women I feel.

Northeast-top teams include nationally ranked Amherst, Colby, Middlebury, Tufts, Williams, Keene State, MIT, Coast Guard

Atlantic- Geneseo, TCNJ, Ithaca, St. Lawrence, Fredonia, Plattsburgh, Cortland, R.I.T.

South East- Emory

Mideast- Dickinson, Haverford, Alleghany, Mesiah

Midwest- Washington (MO), Wisconsin Lacrosse, North Central, Wisconsin Eau Claire, Wisconsin Platteville, Wheaton, Chicago, Osh-Kosh

Great Lakes- Calvin, Case Western, Oberlin (19:34-20:48- Ohio Norther beat them at All-Ohio), Ohio Northern (19:06-20:33), Anderson (19:23-21:42)

West- Willamette, Puget Sound (18:15-19:21 1-5), Colorado (19:20-19:50 1-5)

Central- Grinell, Luther, St. Thomas, Nebraska Wesleyan, Wartburg, St. Olaf, Carleton

NE- 5 definate, if they allowed more, they could get 7, just amazing

A- 4-5 can get 5 if GL gets 3, west gets 2, or ME gets 3

ME- 2-4 Mesiah and Alleghany are worse than our group of female teams battling for 4-9

SSE- 2 only 1 team ranked nationally

GL- 4 (the way I see it, over-rated right now in national rankings w/ 5 teams)

C- 5 definate

MW- 5 definate

W- 3

I may be biased but I see our women getting 4-5 teams, although it looks like only Geneseo and TCNJ would be in the top 20. But it could be a good start to a promising future to teams like Plattsburgh and Cortland. It will be tough for Fredonia to stay at this level after losing all their seniors.

That would be great if both men and women get 5 teams, that would make for a very fun experience for all attending from our region.

It's zerZan

Kyle stop posting

....(cricket).........(cricket).......

been pretty quiet since geneseo got stomped on...

Acutally, I think they have more homework to do than the rest of us since they are the Harvard of public schools

tcnj at NJAC

nyu, u of r at UAA championships

that explains the deafening silence

what does that mean? are you trying to say its all guys from tcnj, nyu, and roch on here talking? I seriously doubt that since all 3 schools are far superior academically than any of the suny's, not to mention all the smack talk is about suny or upstate schools.watch out for TCNJ, defending regional champs.

Well those schools may be far superior than the SUNY schools for certain things...I know for a fact that when you go to U of R, you are paying for the Medical and Research Institutions, whether or not you go there. Now lets say for SUNY, you can not beat the teaching schools of Geneseo or Brockport in the state. And at Albany, the best research institute for CRJ...Different schools have different concentrations, dont hold schools against eachother if they have different programs.

I think he/she means that there's not much going on this weekend, three teams racing 2 meets.

I think the only interesting note of the weekend is to see if U of R can remove itself from the cellar of UAA.

I don't understand...5th out of 8th is the cellar? I'd say more like first floor. Although you seem to know more than me - perhaps the UAA is a ranch? In that case, 5th isn't even really "in" the cellar, it's more like at the top of the cellar steps, knocking on the door to come upstairs. But, finally, I think given the caliber of schools in the UAA, I'd have to wager that it's more like one of these mansions that has three stories plus a finished basement with a nice entertainment system. Considering this, 5th is actually going up the steps from the first to second floors. Ha, how silly you must feel now for not thinking this through properly.

Rochester is a second tier xc team in the uaa, NYU, UC, Wash,CMU are all over the last 5 years a step above. Right now they will have their hands full beating Brandeis, Emory, and Case. Having one guy up front will help their score against most of the back teams. All 4 of those top programs have been ncaa team qualifiers on and off the last 5 years, UR isnt really close.

UAA's will be a tough race for NYU, for alot of the other schools this is a meet the place a high priority on, and come in really pumped up, and with only 8 teams it will always be somewhat close.

Talk about hype for regionals! This thread started on 7/10/2006 at 8:09AM!!! I'm pumped for race day: 11/11/06 @ Letchworth State Park, Mount Morris, NY

No Ithaca or Rochester. I'd say they are easily over Plattsburgh. Plattsburgh and Oswego might be fighting it out just to make the top 10. It's gonna be close all around.

Are those your rankings? They must be, since those aren't the ones on the regional site. Do you honestly think NYU is 4th in the region? I don't think so.

No way thats the real Lowe, another no-name idiot Hijacking his name... Lowe is faster than 98% of the guys in this region, and actually doesnt hide behind his handle, so get off his case. You want to post your rankings, thats fine, just be man enough to put your name to it, not one know as someone else.

Guys if you look at all the elite runners 90% of them look quite skinny male or female. Is this the result of more mileage or more intensity or dietary habits? I don't know its certainly up for debate. What I do know is that good threads like this about people passionate about running can get hijacked in the blink of an eye as soon as someone mentions an eating disorder. That topic has always gone hand in hand with distance running and it will continue to be that way in the future. What I suggest is if someone would like to discuss eating disorders in modern distance athletes start another thread I'm sure you will get an ample amount of responses.
