Too early to tell for a lot of these runners, right now I would say my top 5 would be

1. Ackley

2. Rice

3. Ricchuiti

4. Smith

5. Trapp

It’s so hard though, a lot of the guys on that list could have a good race and jump up. Just have to wait and see

This is a good guess for right now.

Here is a guy I would keep an eye on as a darkhorse:

Landon Kimmel, the freshman from Tippecanoe.

He ran 15:56 at the Mason Invite, and was only one second away from Rock Bridge (MO) #1 guy Andrew Hauser, who was in the MileSplit top 25 nationally.

I've found that oftentimes, freshmen just keep getting better and better as the year goes on as they start to figure out the 5K.

Who knows what might happen, but I really think he could be a rockstar, maybe sooner than later too.
