Week 2 preview: Don't expect much

Let's see, Adams State, Western State, Colorado Mines and nearly all of the RMAC are off; Edinboro, Harding, Queens and Grand Valley State are also off.
Three top-flight teams are running, but potential storylines are few.
The one to pay attention to may be Abilene Christian meet against in-town school McMurray, if only to see who runs. Word is, however, that ACU won't run this weekend (see comment). If so, their next scheduled meet is Pre-Nationals at the end of September.
Chico State opens its season at California-Irvine. Lots of teams entered, but unless I'm reading this one wrong, Chico should win.
And Lock Haven -- a squad with a performance I overlooked last week -- hosts a home meet. LHU defeated Penn State last weekend, which is a solid opener for the 19th-ranked squad.
Am I missing something this weekend?

  1. ACU isn't racing this weekend. Their home meet is scheduled for Oct 10th. They had the McMurry University Invite (also in Abilene) schedule for this weekend but it has been dropped.
