In response to jkrun80
The first sports championship of the year will be decided at Lehigh on Saturday. Bendzinski is the defending champion and the Bison are favorites to win. It won't be a blowout like last year. We're relying on a couple of freshman to step up and score which is always risky. Navy, Army, Boston, and possibly HC could push Bucknell.
are we really absolutely reliant on freshman? top 3 are Bendzinski, Buckley and Farmer. after that it would seem like we have a lot of runners in the mix including the freshman. of the frosh, my inexpert assessment would be that Blair is the only one who has performed consistently at the longer 6k distance although Hunt, Payton-Capes or Tardy could break through. however, we have Chiodo-Ortiz, Thompson, Gronbeck and other older runners who could easily take the scoring spots in pretty good positions to secure a team victory.
surprised Lehigh isn't a threat for the title. young team, but Henderson can pop off a big race and they look like they have brought in a lot of good runners the last couple of years.
jkrun is our expert, so all my thoughts should be taken as a couch potato's perspective in compparison to his and i'd encourage him to correct my inaccurate perceptions.
