Regional Meets Make the NCAA D1 Champoinships Harder to Predict

Published by Adam Schneider/DyeStatCOLLEGE.com Editor on November 15th, 2016

Following the conference championships, a few men's teams made it clear they could challenge for trophies at the NCAA Championships. Regional meets don't always have much of an effect on potential trophy teams, but this year there were some significant changes.

Arkansas has always been a favorite of the coaches. Until the past two meets, the No. 3 Razorbacks had three top-level runners likely to be all-Americans. Junior Andrew Ronoh was a question mark regarding his fitness and it is clear he is ready to run well after opening at the SEC championships with a sixth-place finish and he was second at the NCAA D1 South Central Regional to lead Arkansas to victory (40-81 over Texas) without running any of the three regulars expected to be their No. 5 runner (resting them). 

 

Top-ranked Northern Arizona (60) beat No. 2 Colorado (76) and No. 7 BYU (79) at tbe NCAA D1 Mountain Regional held at altitude. The results did not truly reflect how strong the Lumberjacks and Buffaloes have been. Matthew Baxter for Northern Arizona and Ben Saarel of Colorado are expected to perform much better at the NCAA championships. Syracuse (29), ranked No. 5, had its best meet of the year with a victory in the NCAA D1 Northeast Regional over No. 6 Iona. For most of the season, Iona's Gilbert Kigen has run with conference champion Kieran Clement but Kigen skipped the regional race. 

 

1. Northern Arizona - The Lumberjacks (60) had to run hard to win the NCAA D1 Mountain Region over Colorado (76) and BYU (79). Senior Futsum Zienasellasie won the title followed by junior Cory Glines (6th) and sophomore Tyler Day (7th) with a #1 to #5 gap of 32 seconds. The Lumberjacks took the first six spots at the Big Sky Championships and, led by senior Zeinasellasie’s win, won their ninth title in the last 10 years. Zienasellasie, third at the NCAA meet in 2014, and senior Nathan Weitz redshirted last year and Northern Arizona missed on winning a trophy for the first time since 2011. Futsum made his season debut and finished second to lead Northern Arizona at Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational to a team victory. Junior Matthew Baxter has become a solid #2. He won the Sycamore Invitational and he has only lost to Zeinasellasie on the team in the last three races. Sophomore Tyler Day was the Lumberjacks’ top runner last year looks like a number three (#3) this year after finishing third at the Big Sky Championships and finished 17th in Wisconsin. Glines has been Northern Arizona’s #4 runner after finishing 20th in Wisconsin and fourth at Big Sky. The team is so deep they have eight solid runners. Seniors Andy Trouard and Weitz, freshman Geordie Beamish and sophomore Peter Lomong are battling for the other three spots. At the Wisconsin Invitatational the #1 to #5 gap was :31 and at Big Sky it was 34 seconds. Next for Northern Arizona is the NCAA D1 Championships on November 19th. (1)

 

2. Colorado - In a preview of the NCAA meet, Northern Arizona (60), Colorado (76) and BYU battled to the finish at the NCAA D1 Mountain Region Championships. It is possible these three teams could trophy. Redshirt freshman Joe Klecker led Colorado (3rd) ahead of sophomore John Dressel (5th). The Buffaloes barely won the toughest conference in the nation, Pac-12 by a 41-47 margin ahead of Stanford at 2,400-foot altitude and 88 degrees in Tucson, Arizona. Led by Senior Ben Saarel in third, Colorado's 1-4 gap was 23 seconds, but the 1-5 gap was 39 seconds. Colorado’s top returnees, Saarel (8th in 2013 and 7th in 2014 and sophomore John Dressel (26th in 2015), took it easy in their first race at ISU Pre-Nationals, 28th and 27th respectively. Dressel was Colorado’s No. 3 runner at Pac-12s after finishing 6th. At Pre-Nationals sophomore Ryan Forsyth finished 15th to lead Colorado to third as a team. At Pac-12 Forsyth was the team's No. 4 runner in eighth overall. Senior Zach Perrin was fourth at Pac-12s and 30th at Pre-Nationals. Redshirt freshman Joe Klecker was the No. 5 runner at Pac-12 in 19th. Freshman Reilly Friedman, junior Adam Peterman, and sophomore Paul Miller will battle for the last spots on the NCAA team. Next for Colorado is the NCAA D1 Championships on November 19th. (2)

 

3. Arkansas - Senior Frankline Tonui (40th) and junior Jack Bruce (23rd) returned from last year’s all-American finishes and the team’s sixth place finish. Junior Alex George (176th) has joined Tonui as Arkansas’ top runner until the NCAA D1 South Central Region Championships (40 to 81 for Texas with a 1-4 gap of 18 seconds). In his second race of the year sophomore Andrew Ronoh was second to lead a solid group of Razorbacks with George, Bruce and Tonui finishing together in 5th, 6th, and 7th. All three of the expected No. 5 runners sat out the regional race to prepare for the NCAA championships. George won the SEC and Battle-in-Beantown races to lead Arkansas to 1st and 3rd place team finishes, respectively. Arkansas edged Mississippi 25 to 38 for the Razorbacks’ 7th straight SEC title. George was 14th (No. 3 runner) at ISU Pre-Nationals where Arkansas was second. Tonui was second at Pre-Nationals and finished fifth (No. 3 runner) at the SEC championships. George and Tonui finished 2-3 to dominate the Chili Pepper Invitational. Bruce was 12th (No. 2 runner) at ISU Pre-Nationals and fourth (No. 2 runner) at SEC championships. In his first race of the cross country season Ronoh finished 6th (No. 4 runner) at the SEC championships. Junior Austen Dalquist finished 9th (No. 5 runner) at SEC Championships. Senior Kyle Hosting and sophomore Cameron Griffith had been trading the fifth spot on the team until Ronoh opened his season. Senior Aidan Swain and freshman Carter Persyn could join the team as seventh man in the next two meets. Next for Arkansas is the NCAA D1 Championships on November 19th. (7)

 

4. Stanford - The Cardinal demonstrated confidence at the NCAA D1 West Region Championships and they did not push their top runners. Senior Sean McGorty, junior Jack Keelan and sophomore Grant Fisher led the Cardinals to a win (75 to 90 for Portland) by finishing together in 9th, 10th, and 11th. Fisher was the Pac-12 runner-up and led the Cardinal to a runner-up performance. McGorty led the newest freshman sensation in Palo Alto, Thomas Ratcliffe, accross the line as they finished 7th and 8th. McGorty and Fisher came into the season as one of the to 1-2 combinations of any team as they finished 7th and 17th in last year’s NCAA championships, respectively. Ratcliffe had never run in a cross country race until he won the Stanford Invitational in 23:17 as an unattached entrant. McGorty and Fisher ran, but did not finish, at the San Francisco Invitational to start the year but did not finish their first races until running at Wisconsin Invitational. Fisher (2nd) and McGorty (6th) led Stanford to a runner-up finish to Northern Arizona (78 to 117). Ratcliffe did not race in Wisconsin and if he had run like he did at Pac-12 Stanford would have made the battle for the team title less than a 10 point gap. Junior Garrett Sweatt (69th at 2015 NCAA) has become a consistent No. 4 runner and was 14th at Pac-12 championships. Keelan and Sam Wharton were Nos. 4 and 5 runners at Wisconsin but 8 and 9 at Pac-12. They were 39th and 100th at the 2014 NCAA meet, respectively. Sophomores Steven Fahy and Blair Turlock and freshmen Alex Ostberg and Will Lauer have been contributors and they will have an opportunity to race in the next two meets. Next for Stanford is the NCAA D1 championships on November 19th. (3)

 

5. Syracuse - The Orange won their fourth straight NCAA D1 Northeast Region championship. They dominated with 29 points to 65 for Iona. Their 1-5 gap was 17 seconds. Juniors Justyn Knight and Colin Bennie went 1-2 to lead the Orange. As expected the defending national championships dominated the ACC championships (29 to 72 for Virginia). Junior Justyn Knight has been undefeated in his three races against highly rated competition. Fellow junior Colin Bennie has struggled compared to last year when Knight (fourth) and Bennie (eighth) led the Orange to the national title. Bennie was fifth at ACC, 14th at Wisconsin Invitational and 6th at Virginia Panorama Farms. Junior Philo Germano was 9th at ACC (No. 5 for Syracuse), 28th at Wisconsin (No. 3 runner), and 7th in Virginia (No. 3). Transfer Iliass Aouani was sixth at ACC (No. 3 for Syracuse) and 12th in Virginia (No. 4 for the Orange) but was 86th in Wisconsin (No. 5). Syracuse finished fourth in Wisconsin (if Aouani had run more like the other two meets the Orange would have finished second). Senior Joel Hubbard was eighth for Syracuse at the ACC championships and as the No. 4 runner and 38th at Wisconsin Invitational (No. 4 runner). The Orange are not as deep as last year. Senior Adam Visokay was 87th at the Wisconsin Invitational (No. 6), Freshmen Griff Molino and Kevin James are improving and junior Shawn Wilson and sophomore TJ Hornberger have experience and could contribute. Next for Syracuse is the NCAA D1 championships on November 19th.  (6)

 

6. Iona - The Gaels were second at the NCAA D1 Northeast Regional. Senior Kieran Clements (3rd) and junior Chartt Miller (4th) led the Gaels without junior Gilbert Kirui. Without Kirui the 1-5 gap was 44 seconds (with him it would have been 35 seconds). The Gaels took the first 8 spots at the MAAC championships to win their 26th consecutive conference title. Senior Kieran Clements was the top Gael for his third consecutive race. Iona was 5th (240) at the Wisconsin Invitational and were led by Clements (7th) and junior Kirui (12th). Clements has improved this year after finishing 57th in the 2013 NCAA championships and 58th in 2015. Kirui was 20th last year. Kirui was part of a solid top 5 (19-second separation) that dominated the Paul Short Run (34 to 115 for Georgetown and 142 for Adams State). Junior Johannes Motschman was third at MAAC and finished 10th at Paul Short Run (No. 4 runner) followed by a 47th place finish at Wisconsin Invitational (No. 3 runner). Sophomore Liam Dee was fourth at MAAC and #4 runner in Wisconsin, and finished 12th at Paul Short as the No. 5 runner. Two runners have recently joined the top 7, junior Chartt Miller (43rd at 2015 NCAA meet) and freshman Jac Hopkins. Miller made his debut at MAAC by finishing fifth and Hopkins has only lost to Clements among Iona runners in his two races (2nd at MAAC). Junior Andrew Tario finished 7th at Paul Short Run (No. 3 runner) and just 12 seconds back from Clements but was 1:05 back at Wisconsin Invitational and :26 back at MAAC. Junior Brandon Allen (No. 6 runner at Paul Short and Wisconsin) could also contribute. Next for Iona is the NCAA D1 championships on November 19th.  (4)

 

7. BYU - Senior Nicolas Montanez finished fourth at the NCAA D1 Mountain Region to lead the Cougars to a third place finish. Freshman Brayden McLelland (15th) and senior Spencer Hanson (17th) ran well to help the team. The Cougars beat nationally ranked Portland for the WCC championship, 24-45. The Cougars' top NCAA returners from their 12th place team were injured this year but Montanez and junior Jonathan Harper returned from the NCAA team and have become the leaders of this year’s team. Montanez finished 6th at WCC as the Cougars had a pack finish. Montanez was ninth at the Wisconsin Invitational to lead BYU to a third place finish behind top-ranked Northern Arizona and No. 3 Stanford. At Virginia Panorama Farms Montanez led BYU to victory over defending national champion Syracuse with a fourth place finish. Junior Jonathan Harper finished 2nd to lead BYU at the WCC championships and was No. 2 for the Cougars at Wisconsin by finishing 18th and #3 for BYU in Virginia by finishing 8th. Sophomore Rory Linkletter was 22nd in Wisconsin as the No. 3 Cougar and 9th in Virginia as the No. 4 runner. In Virginia sophomore Clayton Young was fifth as BYU’s No. 2 runner and McLelland 13th. Young was seventh at WCC as BYU’s No. 5 and McClelland was 5th as the No. 3 runner. Both are helping the Cougars create a consistent Cougar top five. Sophomore Danny Carney 16th and senior Mitchell Briggs 19th also ran well at Virginia resulting in a BYU top seven separation of 36 seconds. Hansen joined BYU as it’s No. 5 runner in Wisconsin and there was less than 36 seconds separating the top five. These three seem to be solid candidates for the Cougar top seven if not better due to the increased distance to 10,000m for the next two meets. Next for BYU is the NCAA D1 championships on November 19th.  (5)

 

8. Portland - In the very tough NCAA D1 West Region the Pilots ran very well. They finished second, 75-90 behind Stanford. They were led by sophomore Nick Hauger (6th), junior Jeff Thies (15th) and senior Tim Ball (20th).  The Pilots finished second to No. 5 BYU, 24 to 45, at the WCC championships. Sophomore Nick Hauger was third, junior Jeff Thies was 8th, senior Steve Mulherin was 9th, Tim Ball was 12th, and Danny Martinez was 13th. The Pilots were 7th at Wisconsin Invitational, led by Ball in 24th. Two potential top seven runners, freshmen Tristan Peloquin (59th), and Martinez (69th) ran at Pre-Nationals. They won the Roy Griak Invitational ahead of Iowa State, Boise State, Michigan, Michigan State, and UCLA. Jeff Thies was fifth to lead Portland followed by Hauger (11th) and Ball (12th). Next for Portland is the NCAA Championships on November 19th. (11)

 

9. Mississippi - The Runnin' Rebels won the NCAA D1 South Region Championship by running as a pack. Seniors MJ Erb, Wes Gallagher, Robert Dominic, and Craig Engels with junior Sean Tobin took five spots between 7th and 12th.  The SEC championships became a two-team race between No. 7 Arkansas and the Runnin’ Rebels. By 2000m each team had their top five in the top 14 overall. By 5800m they each had five in the top 12. By the finish Arkansas won 25 to 38. This year senior MJ Erb (39th at the 2014 NCAA championships) and junior Sean Tobin (68th in 2015) have shared leadership roles in the three big races they have raced. Tobin (2nd) and Erb (3rd) led Mississippi at the SEC championships. Tobin won the Notre Dame Joe Piane Invitational to lead the runnin’ Rebels to victory.  Erb won the Penn State Open to lead the team to a runner-up finish to Oklahoma State, 47 to 49. Mississippi State's Nos. 3-6 runners were seniors Robert Domanic, Craig Engels, and Wes Gallagher and junior Ryan Manahan as they finished 10th to 13th, respectively. Domanic has been No. 2 or No. 3 runner all year long, Wes Gallagher has been the No. 3 to No. 5 runner. Engels and Manahan have finally moved up during the season and they were No. 4 and No. 6 at SEC, respectively. That improvement has now put them in a chance to potentially trophy like the rest of this top 10.  Junior Taylor Caldwell could also contribute to the top seven at the NCAA meets coming up. Next up for Mississippi is the NCAA D1 Championships on November 19th.  (10)

 

10. Oregon - The Ducks were led at the NCAA D1 West Regional Championships by the 1-2 finish of senior Edward Cheserek and sophomore Matthew Maton. The team finished fourth (122) as Cheserek and Maton were followed by sophomore Tanner Anderson (32nd).  Seniors Tim Gorman (43rd) and Jake Leingang (46th) filled out the scoring for the Ducks. By any measure Oregon as a team did not perform well (weather conditions or not) at the Pac-12 championships with a fourth place finish. Cheserek did win an unprecedented fourth conference championship and at this point in the season he is undefeated, for the first time in his career. Sophomores Maton and Tanner Anderson (56th at 2015 NCAA meet) had been consistent 2-3 runners until the Pac-12 championships, and were 28th and 30th, respectively, as the 4-5 runners. At the Washington Invitational they helped the Ducks win by finishing 4th (No. 3) and 6th (No. 4), respectively. At ISU Pre-Nationals they were 4th (No. 2) and 18th (No. 3) to help the Ducks win one of the top invitationals all year. Junior Travis Neuman was Oregon’s No. 2 runner last year and finished 46th at the NCAA meet but he had a slow start to the season after he was injured during the indoor track season. He was 13th at Pac-12 as Oregon’s No. 2 runner. Freshman Levi Thomet (22nd) was No. 3 at Pac-12 Championships and No. 4 at ISU Pre-Nationals (26th) and could be one of Oregon’s top runners if he can handle the increased distance the next two weeks. Juniors Sam Prakel (third at Washington Invitational), Blake Haney and Bryan Fernandez and seniors Gorman and Leingang (50th at 2015 NCAA meet) could all help the Ducks fill out the top seven at the NCAA Championships on November 19th. (8)

 

11. UCLA - The Bruins continued their recent run of success with a third place (112th) finish at the NCAA D1 West Region Championships. Seniors Ferdinand Edman (5th), Jonah Diaz (14th) and Austin O’Neil (26th) led the Bruins over the 10,000m course. The Bruins finished 14th at last year’s NCAA championships but lost Lane Werley  (21st) to graduation. Two seniors from that team, Edman (181st) and Diaz (122nd) have improved significantly. At the Pac-12 championships the Bruins had an early lead and finished third, led by Edman’s fifth place finish. His 10th place finish led UCLA at the Wisconsin Invitational where the Bruins finished sixth. Diaz led two teams to 10-11-12 positions. Freshman Colin Burke and senior O’Neil followed Diaz. Diaz was the Bruin No. 2 runner in Wisconsin (27th). Burke (57th) and O’Neil (69th) were also the Nos. 3 and 4 runners at Wisconsin. Senior Daniel De La Torre joined the top 7 for the first time at the Pac-12 meet and he was the No. 5 runner for the Bruins (20th). Senior Myles Smith, freshman Garrett Reynolds and junior Jackson Marshall will battle to make the team the next two meets. Next for UCLA is the NCAA D1 championships on November 19th.  (9)

20. Indiana - Facing many of the same teams that were in the Big 10 championships, Indiana (81) finished tied for second with Michigan State at the NCAA D1 Great Lakes Regional. The Spartans advanced to the NCAA championships because they had more runners from 1-5 in better positions. Seniors Matthew Schwartzer (4th) and Jason Crist (6th) led Indiana and they will advance to the NCAA D1 Championships. The Hoosiers finished third at the Big Ten championships. Seniors Jason Crist (3rd) and Matthew Schwartzer (4th) and freshman Ben Veatch (8th) led Indiana. The 1-5 gap of 49 seconds cost them a team title. Indiana finished fifth at Pre-Nationals.
