This was one of the most intense races I’ve seen in a while; for the last two miles or so, it was looking like any of the top three teams could have taken it. I certainly feel bad for OSU, having it come down to a tiebreak is just terrible.

You almost got a deduct 5 pts from OSU being that it's their home course. That is a massive advantage. NAU deserves credit for beating again all the massive athletics department budgets at OSU, Stanford, and BYU. Seriously, I think NAU has to borrow running shoes before the meets!

[@rainbowmonkMC]

i hope Brody Hastings gets the proper credit. As a high school standout who has consistently found his way near the top 40 as the 4th or 5th man for NAU these last years (2022 - 25th; 2021 - 39th; 2020 - 44th; 2019 - 46th). I think a lot of people had really high expectations for him coming out of high school as a potential top 5 in the country kinda guy. And he hasn't been that good, but he has continued to grind, and his last 2k of the XC championships over the last years he has passes enough people for NAU to win. He was in the 40s at 5k this year, some years ago he was in the 60s and then finishes top 50. Huge point swing with him being so incredibly strong and gutsy on the back end. Without Hastings push NAU doesn't win this.

When did the 6th man tie breaker rule change?

[@blakefreeman7305]

I heard like 5 years ago? It’s so stupid that they changed it. No matter how good the 6th or 7th runners did, it would never matter which is absolutely insane to me. It should come down to head to head if it’s somehow a tie through all seven runners

[@machineofadream]

@@blakefreeman7305 I think it's better this way. In a dual meet between the two teams, if you take all the other runners out of the equation and just compare the two, NAU wins this without even looking at the tiebreak. That's why they do it this way. The main point of runner 6 and 7 99% of the time, either way you do it, is just to give teams more people to potentially get into scoring positions. For NAU, 6 and 7 could've been their 5th man on any given day, same for OSU.

[@BSWANN434]

It sucks that happened to OSU. If you look at the team avg times, NAU edge OSU by 1 second!! 🥺😱

[@todallard8791]

Whoever thought this was a better tiebreaker, it takes away from the team concept the 6th man is better.

[@machineofadream]

I ran XC for four years, and our 6th and 7th runner never scored because we never had a tiebreak. If this is so bad for the team concept, then I guess most races are bad for it? Look, NAU's top 5 would've bested OSU's top 5 in a head to head meet given their placements relative to each other. I don't see how this method takes away from the team more than regular scoring methods for non-tiebreaks. Of course it would be awesome to let teams field like 10 guys and count all 10, but we count 5 and allow 7 to keep the race with a manageable amount of people, and not DQ teams if a runner needs to drop out.

[@ghamm32]

@machineofadream well said!

[@ragnari9368]

@@machineofadream Scoring the sixth runner in case of a tie break shows the team with more depth.

[@todallard8791]

@@machineofadream If it were a dual meet there would have only been 2 teams and they could easily focus on the other runners on the other team. In the invitational setting you can't do that and the 6th man shows the team with more depth. The school my son went to won 2 dual meet titles by running 123 in all the dual meets they had no depth and lost in the invitational meets, the top 3 were sophomores when they won the first dual meet title. In their senior year my son made the team as an 8th grader and they won their first state title my son was 18th that race but their 6 and 7 runners were never that close they would have lost the 6th man but would have won head to head if they ever had a tie breaker. Team depth should decide tie breakers not having top end runners and poor depth.

[@ronaldlincoln2935]

I disagree...If you can't place at least one runner in the Top 3 is your team really the best?

[@leomurillo9381]

Kudos to everyone who participated in this race. Excellent and very impressive performances. Now having said that allow me to state the following, THIS IS NOT A CROSS COUNTRY RACE! This is a road race. This is not a true representation of what a real cross-country course supposed to be. Now let read your opinions (and probably insults) to my comment.

[@ATLTraveler]

I just want to point something out as an FYI. The man who finished in last place, 252nd place (there were 3 DNFs which don't count), his 5.93k split was 18:49, meaning he finished 6K in less than 19 minutes. Katlyn Touey won the women's 6K race with a time of 19:27. So the absolute last place man would have won the women's race by 30 seconds. I am all for equality, but the people who say women are equally as strong as men are just delusional. This is also the reason why biological men who compete is women's sports as trans is just not fair. Plenty of these guys are shorter than the tallest women, it has nothing to do with height, it's the biological difference between a man and a women. You can't hate on this comment because it's just facts.

[@ronaldlincoln2935]

The biggest difference between men and women is lung capacity and oxygenation rate. 20% difference on average.

[@jennysmith8835]

What is the point of that statement, no one was equal as they all finished in different times, by your logic we could dispense with everyone after position one. Its not about equality of performance it is equality of opportunity. Its the same for 99% of us tapping away , we arent athletically equal to these runners but we might sing better, throw better, compute better etc, just stop all this comparison nonsense in the wrong context, EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY, THATS THE MESSAGE

[@BSWANN434]

Everyone has equality: 1.) It’s if people truly want to go after those things. Saying one thing and not applying yourself to do it because you do not want to just throws the logic out of the way. Then there are those people who try to do things when they only have the advantage… (that’s another topic). People have equal opportunity to join the military to fight for the country, just as much join the labor force to build on the country. Even choose to play a sport. 2.) It’s the consequences that are created from the results from certain actions due to freedom of equality. You cannot rob/steal, because you’re taking away someone else’s hard earned money or property and claim it to be yours. Just as in sport you cannot cheat to get a better advantage by taking performances enhancers. So if a man (who identify as a woman) can use his equal opportunity and compete against women, then turn around and win, why aren’t women (who identify as males) using their equal opportunity to compete in men’s sports in college or nationally/internationally? I always find that interesting, because I haven’t heard any individuals to go from female to male then compete. I am willing to do the research, but you always have to remember the first bullet point that stated in #1.
