The NCAA cross country championship races start in one hour, and the notorious LetsRun.com has posted the results of its readership poll on both the team and individual competition. Noteworthy among the predictions is that Villanova's women are the top choice to win the team title this year. Sheila Reid is considered by those who voted as the 2nd most likely runner to win the individual title (trailing only Oregon's Jordan Hasay in the poll). Amanda Marino is ranked 8th in the poll, along with Bogdana Mimic 25th. Oddly, Brooke Simpson received votes, despite not competing for Villanova this year. Here are the results, for whatever they're worth.
On the men's side, Villanova is predicted for a 22nd place finish. No Villanova male runners received votes in the individuals poll.
My own predictions (also worth little): Villanova women: 1st. Villanova men: 13th.
