Looking at the results, the men's race must have been as about as exciting as a X-C race can be....12 of the first 14 runners were from UP or BYU.

Makes the math pretty easy. Hard to beat a 1,2,4 punch!

Men second at regionals behind the *ucks.

I know Cheserek was a recruit at UP, wasn't Korolev also? Dang.

1.3 seconds divides the top 6 runners.

Damn!

Pilots only 11 points (71 vs 60) behind 1st place UO, and 26 points (71 vs 97) ahead of 3rd place Stanford. Oregon's 5th man was 20th place, Pilots' 5th man was 34th.

And Portland has been running without Ryan Poland, our 3rd place finisher at Nationals last year.

Not sure if he will be fit enough to run next weekend, but if so... watch out! Portland could be in the mix for a podium spot.

Also, UP is hosting a watch party for NCAA nationals in the HOF Room next Saturday: Women's race at 9AM (UP's Tansey Listad qualified as an individual - an awesome accomplishment!) and the men's race at 10AM.

HOLY COW! Initial results show the Pilots MXC team finishing 3rd at the National Championship behind CO and UO!!!!!!

Still waiting for official results, but I believe UP finished well ahead of UO....and Stanford was 2nd behind Colorado.

I got a little excited as I was watching all the purple crossing the finish line, so I may have mis-spoke.  UO claimed the individual title (and their runners finished 1 & 2), but you are probably be right.  CO and Stanford were 1 & 2 late in the race.

Initial results show Colorado in first, Stanford 2nd, Portland 3rd, NAU 4th, Syracuse 5th, Oregon 6th, Villanova 7th, Iona 8th. 

Take that, D&cks!
