I have Villanova's Liam Murphy second behind obvious winner. With the early pace of the season and it going down to 8K, I think a miler will take a lot of high-ranking names down the home stretch.
EKU’s Justine Kipkoech I have in 3rd, than Rocky Hansen, and then Casey Clinger, followed by Said Michael and Said Meslono (?), Colorado's Simon Kelati, Washington's Evan Kenkins, then the Texas A &M steeplechaser.
In the top 20 I have:
11. Joey Nokes, 12 Will Smith 13 Matt Strangio 14 Bob Liking 15 Kole Mathison (I'm gonna predict a breakout season) 16 Marco Langdon 17 James Corrigan 18 Bob Perrin, Montana St 19. Bera, Iowa St 20 Aidan Trouter, BYU
I don't think Virginia will have anyone in the top 20 but they'll probably populate thereafter. I'd love to see Jojo Jordan do well for Wake Forest today, or maybe Luke Tewalt, or WF populate the top 30-40.
Behind BYU and Iowa St, I think it will be Wake Forest, with maybe Virginia, Villanova, Colorado and UNC thereafter. If you held a gun to my head, I'd say, 3 WF 4 UNC 5 Virginia 6 UVA 7 Colorado 8 E Kentucky 9 Villanova 10 Montana St
