If you want to win NCAAs as a team, you'd better run well this weekend. Every single year for the last 15 years, the eventual men's NCAA champion has won on this weekend. The race of the week is the men's race at Wisconsin as it includes the top three teams in the country (Northern Arizona, Syracuse and BYU) and a great individual battle between NAU's Futsum Zienasellassie, Syracuse's Justyn Knight and Stanford's Sean McGorty.

King Cheserek is back on top.

Cheserek looked rough in April and early May but flashed his old form at regionals. Can NAU's 27:52 man Futsum Zienasellassie challenge him in the 10k? What about Virginia Tech's Thomas Curtin, Stanford's Sean McGorty, Villanova's Patrick Tiernan or Syracuse's Justyn Knight in the 5k?

NAU coach Eric Heins announced that Zienasellassie, who was third last year and fourth in 2013, will sit out the 2015 season alongside teammate Nathan Weitz as he believes next year's Lumberjacks team could be "really good."

Stacked fields for every distance event. Also in the 10K field are Juan Luis Barrios, Futsum Zienasellassie, Fernando Cabada, Kemoy Campbell, Trevor Dunbar. More meet highlights include: Women's 10K: Shalane Flanagan, Dominque Scott, Kate Avery. Men's 1500: Lopez Lomong, German Fernandez, Stanley Kebenei, Andy Bayer (also listed in steeple). Women's 5000: Emma Bates, Juliet Bottorff, Tara Erdmann, Gabe Grunewald, Marielle Hall, Nelly Spence Gracey.
