The most surprising result here is the result by the Wheaton women, behind #33 Depauw and even behind unrated MIT. Have the mumps decimated the XC team?

More surprises! Great showing by Geneseo. The mumps must have reached the Wheaton men's team, too. (2:32 separated their 1st and 12th finishers, unlike 0:40 in the previous meet.)



Maybe some Wheaton harriers drove up to Holland to race the Knights and watch the Thunder pound the Flying Dutchmen on the gridiron instead of going to race in Ohio?

First MIAA Jamboree:

MIAA complete XC results

They run more than one of those Jamboree things?  What's the deal ... it's not like it's a competitive race.

Do you think that North Central shouldn't bother running with the other CCIW teams since it's rarely competitive?  ;)

On the MIAA Jamboree:

This is one of two conference meets for Calvin.  The other, held at the end of October is called the MIAA CHampionships.  They both figure towards the conference accolades.

Dark Knight --

Do the Cardinal harriers compete in TWO CCIW meets?  The idea of Calvin having to spend two weekends racing against little, if any, competition does not make sense (IMO).

When does an athletic department, or conference, look to build quality programs at the expense of other schools who don't attempt to compete in certain sports?

I think North Central's continued CCIW dominance is threatened by coach Bradley and his Wheaton teams.  Bradley was named last spring's  NCAA D3 Coach of the Year for women's track & field and both his XC teams are solid this fall.

I'm not thinking that they'll win, just threaten the Cardinals on the track and course year after year.  Calvin does not have that in MIAA XC.

Albion's men were a top-15 XC team a few seasons ago.

Mount Union ninth at Penn State Spiked Shoe Invitational to Syracuse, Penn State, Miami of Ohio, Kent State, Pitt, Army, Maryland, and Dayton. Seven D1's and a DII. Pretty healthy competition.

I suspect that Calvin -- and any other school in an athletic conference -- has a contractual obligation to play the games or meets set up by that conference. Calvin Cross Country doesn't quite have the star power (as yet?) to go it alone, maybe get a nice fat ESPN contract for broadcasting their meets.

But not to fear. There's a good meet coming up Friday, with a number of DI, II, III, and other teams -- the Notre Dame Invitational. Last year Calvin took first in the Gold division, with 45 points. North Central (the next DIII school) took 5th, with 157 points. Oshkosh was 6th, Augustana 10th, Stevens Point 15th.

The schedule has Calvin running in the Loyola Lakefront Invitational on Saturday. Can that be right -- two meets in two days? And does anyone know who will be there?

Notre Dame only allows 12 athletes per team, I would guess Calvin is sending a "B" team to Loyola.

When do the new USTFCCCA Division III cross country rankings come out?  It's been a while since the pre-season rankings were posted.
