Geneseo
2013 Regionals 4th;
NCAA 16th - Return all 7 of their top runners
from 2013 (21:57, 22:26, 22:35, 22:36, 22:38,
22:43, 22:51, and plenty of depth behind them.
Should be a very strong team to contend with,
and likely to step up for Woodsies' last
season before he retires.

NYU
2013 Regionals:
1st; NCAA: 6th. No report, however return 4 of
the 7 from last years Nationals according to
their website, including All American Lily
Corsaro 24th & Czuprynski 69th. Returners
NCAA Regional times: 21:48, 22:00, 22:43,
23:29. Looks like they loseother
top runners, and most notably Coach Nick McD
who moved on to D1 Manhattan in mid
August. William Boylan-Pett (Former
assistant at Columbia) is taking over coaching
the program.

Oneonta
2013 Regionals 5th,
NCAA 25th - Graduate multiple NCAA qualifier
& lead runner Kennedy, but return 2-6 of
the 2013 break out team. Return 6 sub 23 6K
runners, top three from track ran 17:48/36:22,
18:03, and 18:06. Newcomers include 6
recruits, and one transfer who ran 18:18 on
the track last spring. This team is bound to
have a strong presence again this year, and
arrive in November ready to race at NCAA's.

St. Lawrence
2013 Regionals 2nd;
NCAA 10th - Return 3, 4, 6 & 7 of their
2013 team, including Lisa Grohn who was an
NCAA track 5k qualifier last spring (17:05),
but graduated 1 & 2 Cymerman and Beccia.
Returners Regional times: 22:03, 22:03, 23:37,
23:38. Last season they lacked some depth past
their 4th runner, so they will need some
people to step up to ensure the same results
they have achieved repeatedly before. Looking
for contributions from newcomers.
5
Ithaca
2013 Regionals 6th,
NCAA 23rd - Graduated Randall, but return 2-7
of their championship squad and plenty of
depth behind them.
6
TCNJ
2013 Regionals:
3rd; NCAA: 31st. Return 4 of the 7 of their
2013 squad. With their second year under a new
head (and assistant distance) coach, the team
will likely have a more stable season this
year. Clearly have the depth of ability to be
successful. They nose-dived at NC's last year,
but that was more experience than ability.
7
Cortland
No Report. 2013
Regionals 8th, return 5 of the top 7,
including 2013 front runner Kerri Culhane.
8
New Paltz
2013 Regionals
12th, But return their 2-6 runners and acquire
several strong recruits including transfer
Gabby Mancuso (UNH). Will have four runners
who ran sub-18:30 last spring on the team, not
bad for a team without a track program.
9
RPI
No Report. 2013
Regionals 10th - Return 2-7 of their 2013
squad.
10
Vassar
2013 Regionals 9th.
Return 4 of the top 7, but crucially loses
track All American Piepmeier to graduation,
and 2nd runner Snider to an academic leave of
absence. 5 new recruits looking to shake up
the ranks.
10
Hamilton
2013 Regionals 7th,
and would have been a good team for nationals,
but they are only returning 3 of those runners
(2 graduate, 1 transfer). Top returner is Sam
Buttrick (23:02), then Michelle Fish
(4:44/1500m in 2014) & Lainie Smith (7th
runner @ 23:34 in 2013 regionals, but a 2012
All-Regional runner), plus 8 promising first
year runners. Likely a team to move up the
ranks as the season goes on.
