FloAwards Preseason Rankings

No reason why Katiie McCafferty (a Hoya) wasn't up in your frosh list she has a remarkble HS record!! u really need to dig deeper when u do these really!!

Mark.....What type of help are you talking about for d2?

German is lited as Pre-Season freshman of the year.

r u playing or sme thing sme kid named german fernandez!!!! hes the best kid in the country wht r u talking bout!!

Easy there big fellow.
We have D2 articles every week by the Cara and went to a cover a D2 meet last week. This is our first go at this so we did not want to bite off more then we could chew. If you or anybody else wants to help with D2 or D3 stuff let us know.

wow, great to see you support the entire sport.

how about D2 and D3?
worthless. seriously

aurora scott - Scott University

what the heck is "Scott University"? A quick google search seems to show there is no such college..

Schaaf is Canadian and I think this was for America High School Frosh. She is wicked good and watch out for Washington this year. Bab may be #1 but probably will be the #2 frosh at Washington.

OSU BUST

ALABAMA is going to kill oregon. come on ,they have 6 Kenyan runners that can all beat Galan Rupp if they have a good race.

People you schould know about Kendra Schaaf from Washington she is a beast. I think she will be freshman of the year for the girls and for the guys I think G man Or chris will be it.

isn't rupp red shirted ?
or did i here that wrong?

Galen is gonna PWN.

Nicole Bush is still running for MSU

Tanner, Do you realize what kind of high school career Colby Lowe had. 7 time state champ. Ran at Foot Locker 3 times. Finished 4th his senior year. Took 2nd at NTN last year. Took 2nd at NIN 2 mile, and 3rd in the NON 2 mile.... If he isn't there then thats stupid. He has a legit shot at making the top 7 at OSU..

Then look at Puskedra. Don't really see him running this Fall. He will probally red shirt. Like all of the ducks do when they first get there.

Isn't Karen Harvey the FSU women's xc coach? If Withrow still competing he's def. one of the contenders.

go kinsella!

Hey Ben, if by "Vig Bias" you mean that flocast thinks the already successful program at UVA will continue to excel with a great coach, then yea, I guess they are ... Same thing would happen if any successful coach took over an already legit program. Oh wait, it did happen when Vin L. took over at Oregon after they had failed to make NCAA's with very talented runners. Bias, no ... just making a good prediction based on history.

We'll work on getting D2 and D3 stuff.

That's not true

flotrack is only for D1, they dont care about D2 and D3. sham on you flotrack.

Galen Rupp is not going to win - he never wins major meets

Is there any truth in Aurora Scott (one of the girl honorable mentions for freshman) going pro and training in Flagstaff for the 2012 marathon now?

so then this is basically a D1 award prediction...? you guys need to look into doing something with D2 and D3. there are great runners in those divisions as well you know. i, along with many others, would appreciate it if flotrack could work up 2 more award panels for the other 2 divisions. thanks, preciate it.

idiot

wtf...colby lowe for honorable mention...whats wrong with yall..and BAMA as a sleeper...! 6-7 runners are talinted kenyans..and the other gringo will b kickin butt too! that should atleast b ahead of wisconcin! yes and why is robert finnerty up their but i dont htink Hassan Mead should b on their...bcz if Lowe,Fernandez,Puskedra,Finnerty,Fout,and Derrick were out thier, theyd clobber Mead..and a add a few underdogs like Ornales, Cj brown, and Reed connor for nxt years freshman of the year!

Rob Finnerty freshman of the year? And Hassan Mead should be up there for individuals...at least an honorable mention

Fernandez is going to stay for the top fresmen of the year, for the men.

Jager moved out to Portland with Teg and Solinsky to train under Shumacher, who left Wisconsin. Thus, he is going pro, getting sponsored by Nike. There is a podcast that trackshark.com did with him. Go have a listen to it. Questionable move considering he only has 1 All-American honors credited to him - but obviously believes in Jerry too much to let him go.

Where did Jager transfer out to??? please someone find out and post it. thanks!

-take out virginia from the honorable mention (*cough* vig bias *cough*). throw in michigan.

-i think the oregon women are a surer bet to win than the oregon men.
-i don't think it's even worth talking about the colorado women. they were abysmal (by their standards) last year. washington needs some love.
-really curious about what barringer decides. highly doubtful she stays for a fifth year, so saving elligibility probably isnt an issue. but the team would be even more lost w/o her. ..

i like the comments, but lets get your predictions for next week's poll

Shadrack Songok, Texas A&M should be # 1, he is from Kenya and he is the best runner we have this year in DI. I think Galen Rupp is over-ratted because Shadrack got 6th because of the weather. he's from Texas.

you can still rate Neely

what about U of Washington women?

On the girls side I think you guys totally overlooked Stanford, a few of those girls, Gitts and Folmer should be watched. Also Nicole Bush from MS.

thanks ben, the withrow was a misprint. jager is also gone.

Flopredictors- I think you're confusing Matt Withrow and Brandon Bethke. Bethke transferred to Arizona State. Withrow's still on the Wisconsin roster.

On the Women's side, I believe Melissa Grelli is now in Grad School at Oregon.

withrow is transfering??? he is listed on their roster, please clarify...
