I have them taking #7 at XC, definitely a rebuild year.
When I say "rebuild" I mean it in a positive way. I love building something new, being part of the process, whether building a new software system or a new XC team.

I can see NAU, AL, BYU clearly should be ahead of NC St. Then maybe TN and if they perform in XC OR and WA. But not so sure about who else. Hartman running 15:28 should be solid, along with Stephens (if healthy), Smith, then Gapes, Rauber, maybe Michalak might get them close to 200 points and they might be very competitive with all but the top 3.
Valby is a redshirt junior so she has another year of eligibility.
I am assuming she will move on. "Last one best one" I heard
Wouldn’t be surprised if she competes for one last time. 4 of their top 5 at NCAA were juniors last year so I think next year is looking to be a “special” year for Florida.

Who knows, maybe Valby pulls an old school pre/Simpson/Nuguse and makes Olympics, but still goes back to school.
The finish college as star vs disappear as pro is an interesting debate. Just imagine the hype and buildup if Tuohy had still been in school for '24 indoor. Dmr, mile v Ramsden, 3/5 v Valby could all have been great, instead it was quiet.
NC State seems to be starting this as a trend. people have already forgotten Jessica Jazwinski committed back in December. Thats a great class already between just the two of them. and they got Michalak and Preisano the previous April.
They just picked up another 2025 middle distance stud in Alex Dow. Has run 2:06 and 4:18.
