A couple of years ago, the odds were pretty high that Andy Trouard wouldn't even be a runner right now -- he was planning on becoming a triathlete. Now he's the NCAA 3,000-meter champion. Here's how it happened.

Come on admit it, after the 5ks, you just assumed that both Knight and Schweizer would easily complete the 5k/3k double, but that didn't hapen as somehow Trouard, who had never scored at NCAAs before finishing 5th in the 5k, beat Knight.

The men's race could come to an anchor battle of a tired Josh Kerr vs. a fresh Grant Fisher. Who would have the edge? In the women's race, Stanford and Oregon are our two favorites. *MB: 2018 NCAA DMR Discussion Thread - Who wins if it comes down to a tired Josh Kerr vs fresh Grant Fisher? Oregon or Stanford?

We can't wait for the 5ks/3ks at NCAAs as a pair of NCAA champs will clash in both the men's and women's side. *MB: 2018 NCAA 3k/5k Talk: Who wins Fisher or Knight in the 3k? Kurgat or Schweizer in the 5k & 3k?

Josh Kerr is so good we might pick him to beat Edward Cheserek if they were racing again this year even though Cheserek ran 3:49 in the mile this winter. *MB: 2018 NCAA mile: If Edward Cheserek were racing Kerr this year, who would you pick? Will Elle Purrier win NCAA title #1?

Raevyn Rogers, one of the all-time greats, is gone but an even bigger talent may already be on the scene to replace her in Texas A&M true frosh Sammy Watson. *MB: 2018 NCAA indoor 800 - Who wins M. Saruni or I. Harris? Will freshman phenom Sammy Watson take over for Raevyn Rogers?
