But take one of their top two away and they fall far enough that they would get gapped by NCSt's current, no Chmiel line up.
Their top 2 were 9 and 10 and their 6th was 20th. So that would add 10 to todays gap. Nationals probably closes the gap by 10 so we are back to a ~10 point win for NC State (w/o Chmiel in top 5). Pretty tight even with 1 NM top runner slipping back 15 seconds. Until gets a 6th runner close to Starliper/Chmiel or whoever their 5th is they need pretty much all top 5 to be on (as they were last year) - unless other team's runners slip back.
