Wisconsin versus PreNats: Comparing the fields

Wisconsin versus PreNats: Comparing the fields

Checking out the fields for this coming weekend, we will see some of the best races of the 2011 cross country season! Traditionally over the past few years the Pre-National Invitational at Indiana State has been the stacked race(s) of the regular season. This year there has been a shift as most teams will be venturing to Madison for the Wisconsin Invite. Wisconsin will pack in over 40 teams on the men's and women's sides to have the deepest race of the year outside of the NCAA Championships on November 21st. All of movement should been seen in terms of points being earned towards birth to the NCAAs along with some great matchups! This is not to say that PreNats won't be a good race this year as we will see a great team battle on the men's and women's sides with numerous top ten players along with some individuals that have more than enough ability to win NCAA titles this season. This year there will also only be one race for the men and one race for the women at PreNats. One question will be Indiana, they are entered in both races....which race will be Hoosiers bring the A squad? Check out full field list below for each meet and race.

Flotrack will be covering both races this weekend with Wisconsin on Friday and PreNats on Sunday! PreNats will be LIVE on Flotrack but Wisonsin will NOT. Both events will be archived on Flotrack with pre and post race interviews, course previews, highlights and all the usually goodies.

Enjoy a great weekend of XC as we head into the meat of the season and be ready for an updated Kolas Calculator next Tuesday and new release of the FloAwards Watchlist on Thursday.
