Yep, "King" Edward Chesarek LOST!!
(That's the Collegiate version of "Mo Farah LOST!".)
And it wasn't in a last 50 meter sprint!
Nope, when Patrick Tiernan made his move around 8K, Ches did retake the lead---for a moment.
Then Tiernan surged again, and that was that.
With Justyn Knight following, Ches wound up a far back third!!
Here's the Top 8 finishers, followed by a list of "names" who performed either better or worse than expected.
1. Patrick Tiernan 29:21.99

Northern Arizona easily took the team title with 125 points--same total as the Women's winner!
Stanford scored 158 in 2nd, with Syracuse third with 164.
Oregon finished just 9th, with 282 points!

A Ches win wouldn't have made any difference in the score!
The Women's race was a lot closer, both in the individual and team aspects!

The group was bunched until 5000, when Anna Rohrer took the lead.
But Erin Finn passed her, and seemed on her way to her first NCAA Cross Country win!
That is, until less than 100 meters remained, and Karissa Schweizer came flying past both, and kept going to a fairly decisive margin of victory.

That 2nd by Finn--instead of the win--decided the team race!
As did Oregon's FIFTH finisher!!
In the end--after a 35 minute wait, the team title went to the DUCKS!!
By ONE point!
They scored 125 to Michigan's 126!
Favored Colorado ended in 3rd with 134 points!
Stanford was 5th with 255 points!!
Well, folks, that much-promoted (by me!) JDL All-Comers meet---fizzled!!
No fast HS Mile times!
No fast times at all!
The "best" mark was Alina McDonald's PV of 13-7.25.
Not bad---In fact VERY good!---IF she were still in High School.
But she's a Collegiate now, even if her "unattached" means she's redshirting!
But 13-7.25 for a Collegiate is close to a foot away from being noteworthy!
The times indeed have changed among Women PV'ers!!
So I guess we'll have to wait for that first great mark that indicates the 2016-2017 INdoor T&F season has really begun!!
Eliud Kipchoge won the New Delhi Half-Marathon, as my schedule post indicated he would!
But he didn't get the course record, as his pacers fell off in the 2nd 10K!!

His winning time was still fast--59:44!
Yegrem Demelash was 2nd in 59:48, with Augustine Choge 3rd in 60:01.
The Women's race went to Worknesh Degefa, time of 67:42.
She won by 10 seconds over Abebel Yeshunah!
Back in 7th was Gelete Burka, time of 69:32!!

Heads up on the November 24th (Thanksgiving Day) Manchester 10K Road Race!
There's some big names on the entry list.
For the Men, we have Galen Rupp!
For the Women, there's Mary Cain!
Okay, so Cain ain't a "big" name anymore!
Okay, so Cain ain't a "big" name anymore!
But she WAS!!
And NOT over 10000 meters, track or road or XC!!
So what's the deal?
Is she moving up?
Is this a one-off, soon to return to 1500's?
This blogger's opinion is that she'll need to run sub-34:00 to have people say she's "back"--or even has ANY potential in longer races!
Of course, weather and the course have a lot to do with times in road races!
But having Cain even entered in this race is intriguing!!
Of course, this blog will have that race COVERED!!
Coming soon are more INdoor T&F Previews!!
