Probably the hottest takes in the Canadian running universe
Not Trackie Hot Takes Prediction Columns
Intro Don’t ask and you shall receive anyway. WE’RE BACK and late, as always, with some Canadian National Track and Field Championships predictions. What’s the point of the intro? Usually it’s to comment on how silly this is while subtly (or not so subtly) bringing attention to important political issues. Today we’re gonna do...

Intro/PSA Yeah, we took a break from the track and field predictions last year (not that anyone cared). A few factors contributed to that. First, governments and university administrations decided to abandon most COVID-19 protections, which pissed me off. Then, in large part because of the lack of protections, I actually contracted COVID-19 myself,...

Meet Info: here Live Results Link: here As hard rock Nick would say: “OKAY, IT’S A-C-X-C TIME.” Honestly, idek why I’m writing this –I don’t have the time and it’s definitely going to be awful and potentially rife (RIFE) with grammatical errors. I didn’t really talk to anyone and don’t even want to look...

Intro So yeah so… a while back, Canadian Running Magazine posted some Usports men’s and women’s pre-season rankings that were lacking a bit of info from key sources. Now we can’t really blame Marley –it took us years of being an idiot to get to the insanely high quality of nonsense you are currently...

Intro Haha that’s right, ACXC decided to absolutely bungle this one (per sources). Usports XC might have featured a starting “Danger Gauntlet,” (and I witnessed not one, but two fellow runners absolutely eat it in the Danger Gauntlet, I hope they survived) but ACXC has decided to one up them by blasting the course...

Intro Alright, we’re at the part of the fun zone that makes you start thinking about fish. Just a few more sentences for you to swim through. Make sure you enter the Prediction Contest if you haven’t yet. I feel like you should have more than enough irrelevant background after this to make some...

Intro Alright we’re back. After a hectic Part 1 and 2 we needed a day off to recharge and eat some pizza pockets. During this time, I realized I made an unfortunate omission that has since been corrected (see bold below). My apologies for missing this important detail earlier. 6. McMaster Unfortunate injuries did...
