The postseason is fast approaching and a handful of major regular season meets have wrapped up in recent weeks. That, in turn, is expected to make this weekend's distance running action a bit quieter (but certainly not silent) by comparison, at least for Division One. So...what do we do now? Well, as we prepare a couple of D2 conference meet previews, I thought now would be a good time to poll you, our readers, on where your feelings are regarding a variety of different topics. NOTE: All votes are anonymous. Only one vote allowed per polling question. Be sure to click the "See All Options" button at the bottom of each poll to see a full list of voting options for each question. It may take a minute or two for votes to be reflected in the aggregate total of each poll.

Production via Wyatt Barnsley On this week’s episode of The Stride Report Podcast , Ben and Garrett break down a massive weekend of NCAA cross country action as NC State and New Mexico dominate at the Nuttycombe Invitational. They discuss who raised their stock the most, how the New Mexico men took down Colorado and Syracuse, and what the results mean for the battle for the final podium spot. The guys also touch on panic levels for BYU and Stanford before shifting to the women’s side, where NC State reaffirmed their national title favorite status with a commanding victory. Notre Dame, Iowa State, West Virginia, and Northwestern all impressed, while at Pre-Nationals, Georgia’s men claimed the team title and the BYU women crushed the competition.
