Rop could be an outside favorite in Evansville. But first things first, he's gotta qualify. And he will with ease.
It's a two-team race otherwise, and I'll be shocked if Stonehill or Mass.-Lowell bricks it. They only take two from the East, so Rop's AI squad and others will likely be on the outside looking in.
Stonehill and Mass.-Lowell have had great competition against each other this season. Stonehill won the latest battle (at the NE-10s), while Mass.-Lowell arguably had the bigger win at the New England collegiates race. It appears that Mass.-Lowell (led by Tim Guerin and Angus MacDonald) and deeper through seven, but it only takes five.
Stonehill has those five -- and they run in a pack. At the Mass.-Dartmouth race earlier this year, the scoring five were an amazing two seconds apart. At NE-10s, the 2-5 gap was about 20 seconds. That's team running...and that'll get you to nationals.
