Knight in 62... gotta start moving up

Looked like Erb was the first Cuse runner?

1. Colorado
2. Stanford
3. Portland
4. N. Arizona
5. Syracuse

Lost it with our #5. Still a great performance for the team.

so really the 5th guy dropping took us from 3rd to 5th. the other 2 teams are pretty tough. hard to see oregon behind us with 1-2 at the top

Yeah if Knight is even in the 70s we are probably looking at a 3rd place finish.

Need to get Hehir in the top 20 next year. Would have gotten to the podium if he was there this year, but great season. That was Knight's first college 10k- I think he'll come back strong next year.

Was such a tactical race that I think he would have done better had the pace been quicker earlier. No doubt the team will look to build off of this performance.

Agree. I think the pace helped SU overall, but not Hehir (as well as some others like Rosa from Stanford). Next year's team won't fly under the radar, but they will be motivated to get on that podium.
