I will be watching the south region and the teams Alabama St,Florida A&M,Hampton,Bethune Cookman.

Pulling for UofA here. I watched them finish 2nd in the Pac12 Companionship a little over a week ago.

Liberty was a power -- for a while. I'm not sure they've been able to replace all-world Sam Chelanga....

Yeah he was a four yr gift for Liberty it will be awhile before you see a runner of his caliber unless you hit the recruiting trail in Kenya again?!?!?!

Good point forgot them concentrating on those that I mentioned they made regionals.This is the XC version of the playoffs.

Interesting move to the Friday regionals and then Saturday (8 days later) Nationals. Used to have Nationals on Monday before TGiving.

I would think more folks in Lousiville would be in attendance on a Saturday

I like the Saturday Nationals better as you can get better attendance and people going to the meet. Never understood the Monday meet.

As for winners, I'd say Ok. State then Colorado (though wouldn't be surprised to see other way) with Wisconsin somewhere in the top 5. Individuals will have Lalang and then Sambu - both from Arizona although the rest of that team is not good enough to qualify as a team

For the women, tougher but I'll go with Florida State taking the win - no clue on individual

There is no qualification for Regionals in XC

Okay thought there was a Pre-requisite for advancing.

Nope Regionals is 1st level - Qualify for nationals by being on top 2 teams or top 2 individuals not on a team.

There are then something like 10-15 at large teams that get selected based on your place in the Region and how many teams who have qualified for Nationals that you have beaten. Actually somewhat complicated to explain but pretty straightforward and no guesswork once all Regions have run since it is all based on a formula and not individuals deciding who they think is better

You may be thinking of track which has qualifications for the 2 regions - Think you need to hit a set time in your event or win your conference championship to qualify for regions.
