Quick notes on the women. Cornell, wow. Absolutely proved that the huge jump to the top 10 was not premature. How good can this team get? The Big Red beat 15 ranked teams today … Yale was amazing as well, defeating seven ranked teams. Expect a big jump in the polls for the Bulldogs … Strong effort from Harvard to finished third among the Ivies … Dartmouth ran without Abbey D’Agostino and Columbia without Waverly Neer. Full results here. Took Wisco hours to get results out.

Quick notes on the men. Columbia beat six teams that were ranked ahead of it today, including No. 1 Wisconsin and No. 5 Portland. Expect a big jump. Could it be top 10? … Sez Wood: “Today was the greatest single team performance in Columbia men’s cross country history. We beat many of the nation’s most storied programs. Today, we took a giant step forward and have joined the ranks of the nation’s very best programs. We have legitimized ourselves as one of the top-10 programs in the nation.” … Princeton lost a lot of points with its fifth scorer in the 180s, but still finished ahead of seven ranked teams … Like the women, Harvard did well to finish third among the Ivies … Word is that five Cornellians went down early in the huge field, taking away any chance at a solid showing … Former Columbian Kyle Merber was also tripped up and trampled, but still finished in the points for Texas … Brown grad Dan Lowry was 11th overall for Michigan.
