Week 6: Sangs' run sweet; Teams rest this weekend

Except for Western State's traditional Mountain Run (think "up a mountain"), none of the top 10 D2 schools are in action this week. All are readying for conference championships next weekend, thus beginning the championship phase of competition.
Reviewing last week again, Abilene Christian's Amos Sang ran a blistering four-mile effort at home. Add him to the pool of potential national champions. (Right now I'd say that includes David Kirwa (Harding), Sang, three Adams State runners (Mwei, Medigovich and Braun), Michael Crouch (Queens) and Micah Chelimo (Alaska-Anchorage).
Massachusetts-Lowell impressively won the New England championships. They also upended top-10 D2 squad and regional rival Stonehill. Those teams will also tangle at the Northeast 10 conference champs again next weekend. Coach Gary Gardner's squad of all Massachusetts runners appears to be on an upward trajectory at the right time. Anyone know if Reuben Sanca still eligible?
