I was there. It was assumed by all that Wisconsin would win the men's title, and it looked to me like Solinsky was right up front for a good portion of the race. At the end he died an awful death and ended up as their 4th man. I figured if anyone took them, it was Arkansas.

We had to get across two states rather quickly, so we took off before they announced the men's team winner. As we were getting into our car we heard a roar and the PA say "mumblemumble first, Wisconsin second". When we were getting gas someone told us Colorado won. Based on race strategy, it looks like the tortoise beat the hare.

Solinsky's implosion at the end didn't cost his team the title. The Badgers would have won only if he were first or second overall. Looks like a big part of Wetmore's "coaching genius" is just telling his runners not to go out too fast.
