Don't write Western State off

After Adams State's exploits this spring (remember those 5k times?), one can be forgiven by thinking this fall's 'cross trophy should be mailed to Alamosa now before postal cuts take place.
But ASC's arch-rival Western State bolstered its roster with two European additions.
England's Glen Watts will arrive in Gunnison for one season. He's around a 9:00 steeple performer.
And Ireland's Dave Flynn has donned an Eire jersey many times and recorded a 9:21 steeple this spring. He'll come with four years' eligibility.
Update: I inadvertently had Watts' name twice. Flynn's the Irishman!

  1. It's is Westerns new Irishmen Dave Flynn who ran 9:21 this spring (and 9:17 in '08).
    These additions will be offset by Adams new France arrival, Anthony Gauthier 3:47/8:18 3k.
