What a day at NCAAs in the distances. We recap it all.

We give you our top 5 story lines for the 2018 NCAA men's outdoor championships which start next Wednesday.

Plus Commonwealth Games, Joshua Cheptegei, Tim Don update. And Sarah Sellers wasn't the only one to negative split Boston.

As impressive as Josh's run was, Jim Ryun ran 3:33.1 as a collegiate sophomore 51 years ago but it wasn't during the collegiate season.

After last night's debacle in the DMR, Josh Kerr got redemption with some style points added on as he dominated whereas Elle Purrier won her first NCAA title by the tiniest of margins over Dani Jones.

In an exclusive post-race chat with LRC, Kerr vowed to do something special on Saturday, “I was watching even the World Championships indoors, being [won] in 3:58 (for 1500m), that's not an exciting race to watch and we're going to try and make it exciting tomorrow.”

And sadly the Oregon Duck athletes weren't allowed to talk to the media.

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?

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?

The men's race also has Robby Andrews, Ben Blankenship, Kyle Merber, Chris O'Hare and Josh Kerr while the women's features Alexa Efraimson, Ireland's Ciara Mageean and Canada's Nicole Sifuentes.

2017 is almost over and it's time to look back at the year that was in running. We reflect on the most exciting races of 2017, including history from Emma Coburn and Courtney Frerichs, major marathon wins from Shalane Flanagan and Galen Rupp, the brilliance of Eliud Kipchoge and much more.

Youth was served in the 800, 1500 and 5000 as three massive, young talents got the wins. In the 800, freshman Emmanuel Korir of UTEP lived up to the hype. In the 1500, sophomore Josh Kerr of New Mexico was able to hold off a challenge from Ole Miss's Craig Engels in the 1500, and sophomore Grant Fisher of Stanford won his first NCAA title in a tactical 5000. Fisher is the first American underclassman (freshman or sophomore) to win the 5000 in 28 years. In the steeplechase, senior Edwin Kibichiy PRd to get the win.

Edward Cheserek has abdicated the throne as the biggest star of college track but there are a ton of big talents that are ready to take over - Christian Coleman, Fred Kerley, Emmanuel Korir,  Lindon Victor, etc. We give you the 6 best storylines of the meet and get you ready for the Josh Kerr vs. Craig Engles battle at 1500 and Justyn Knight vs. Grant Fisher battle at 5000.

There's a lot of stuff we really found interesting in this one.

Scottish sensation Josh Kerr did the unthinkable and outkicked King Cheserek in the mile Saturday night.
