Guess there was no need to race early in order to beat the heat....
The women are off!!! First checkpoint is 2k, then 4k
The midwesterners would go crazy running in Texas weather right now

Follow along the women's race here

Thanks for the link to follow the race!
Am a few minutes late but better late than never!
Very very early but through 2k our ladies are well behind
Towards the bottom early on, and only a few girls shown as running
Hopefully it's an error
Last through 2k… showing San Juanita Leal and Shewaye Johnson not racing
Like soccer vs UConn, completely unexpected. Darn it.
Don't know why some of our girls are not racing and don't know why we're so behind
I'm sad
Next month at home, will do much better!
I canceled lunch plans to follow along with these results, sorry if I got anyone excited with the preview
I trust McRaven but darn… I'm at a loss of words

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Men's startlist NOT showing Victor Kibiego and Cooper Cawthra
Maybe the timing system is wrong… it's not even showing the host Wisconsin on there?????
lol there's a guy from Iona named Crock Crockett
I hope the the scoring system is inaccurate, if not women 24 out of 25, men 23 out of 24… only 3 athletes in the top 100 sorry for getting you all excited
I still trust in McRaven and Abell's plan, what matters is regionals and what we do that day, hopefully today is a day we learn from, or more a day we trained through… I still believe this could be a great season number one Aggie cross country fan forever

I agree that I would've loved a higher placement, but I think that this is about what we can expect from our team at a meet like this. We are an up and coming team that is showing light by even running at a race like Nuttycomb! Maddie Livingston is making a slow return and SJL didn't run. This is a great learning experience for the team, especially the younger runner like Megan Roberts, who had an amazing run! Similar story on the men's side. This gives the younger runners on an up-and-coming program an opportunity to see what it's like to run again the nation's best teams/athletes. So while we would have loved to place higher, the season is much more than just this meet, and it was a great opportunity for the team to see the course that they will hopefully see again at the national meet! Gig 'em Aggies! Trust the process and trust our team!!
Agreed!!! In my little preview I said I hope when all is said and done we can look back at this meet and say we gained a lot out of it!!! I was sad with the outcome because I am certain we can run better, but as a coach myself you have a program in place where you have your athletes do their best when it matters! I know we can compete with a lot of these teams and I know for certain if this meet is ran 5/6 weeks later we'd do much better!!! Let's put on a show at home! 3 home meets in a row!!!
Megan Roberts is having an amazing season! She's made such a huge jump and she deserves a lot of recognition!! Get her on TexAgs for an interview!!!
Thanks for bringing me back to life Cheese85, I am obviously heavily emotionally invested in this team and like most fans, first you react with your heart, then you give it a little time and you react with your mind lol
And they got to preview the course for Nationals....that's never a bad thing....

And interesting to see Brynn Brown. She's a senior. It ends fast doesn't it? I mean, what a phenomenal runner, who went about things the opposite way from Parker Valby. Hoping Brown has a great NCAA meet.

I have no clue, but hope it was more of a precautionary thing… some schools have been keeping a few people out each meet! In todays collegiate cross country, you're mostly defined by one meet and there is no reward for racing all out in any meet prior!!! And yeah it seems I was just watching her race in Austin a few years ago! Her and the Cinco Ranch girls are seniors now! The one that's really surprising to me is Natalie Cook, just never stayed healthy

Yeah, Natalie showed up at my son's XC camp in Fort Collins 2 summers ago. Only time I've ever seen him willingly get his hair cut was for his photo with her. Hmmmm

She needs to be on the Valby cross training plan. That's what made her successful in HS.

Yeah, I think she picked a school, OSU, that broke her. Then she transferred to UCLA and the coach got fired for alledgedly cheating. Now she's at Colorado. Hope it works out. Running coaches are more arrogant than baseball coaches sometimes.

Yeah, I believe in coaching that every athlete should be coached individually and in their own distinct way to get the best out of them! Many coaches believe there's only way, their way or the highway or that there formula is the only way to success!!! Natalie Cook should be one of the best in the ncaa right now
This is exactly right! After she overcame so many injuries and from a way that worked for her in high school, why would any college coach change it! But then again the OSU coach figured why coach anymore when I can just have just 7 Africans on his team close to the age of 30

My daughter told me that Africans are $25,000 each. I think that's per season. Something seems wrong about buying black people from Africa...can't put my finger on it...
