I put the over/under at 4 as to how high on the team Nico Young finishes in the next 3 years. I put it at 3 for his college career.
It sounds like he is second right now because of the pacing duties and finishing the workout with Grijalva. Of course, that would mean he had already improved markedly from 7:56/13:50s in the heat with uneven pacing.
The NAU women's team looking strong right now too... 3 women in the low 16s and 8 sub 17.
No. He is not top 7 right now.

Maybe not, but his high school 3k time of 7:56.97 would have been 4th at NAU last winter.
Grijalva ran 7:43, seniors Beamish and Day ran 7:44-45, and Nur ran 7:57. So, Young would be second-returner if he'd been at NAU last year. He's also had the tremendous benefit over high school of altitude training and equal or better teammates. I'd think that he's well ahead of last year's shape now.
I grant that a freshman's 3k ability doesn't mean equal 8k or 10k xc shape against seasoned NAU runners.

My friend's team also had some guys running on Friday night, so I can shed a little light on the evening.
It was at Chandler High School. The night was pretty calm, but temps were in the 80s when they ran.
Nico Young was the No. 2 pacer for the first group of 5K guys through 3000 meters or so, maybe a little futher. Corey Gorgas took that heat with a 14:06 or :07. He trailed Cade Burks going into the last lap, but dropped a 59 last lap. Burks wound up at 14:13.
I think the early pacing was a little off, otherwise those guys would have been a little closer to 14:00. Nico took over pacing after about a mile and the pace was pretty steady with him in front.
Nico was then the early pacer for the fast group (the one you see in the photo), but didn't go much past a mile. Luis G took over and really was remarkable. He was looking back at Abdihamid Nur, encouraging him to stay with him. Luis G dropped out before last lap (probably would have finished in 13:50 range) and Nur brought it home in 13:57. Raff was at 14:13 and Bosley backed off the pace late, but did finish around 14:30 or so.
Brodey Hasty, Theo Quax, Blaise Ferro didn't run, but most of the other top guys did take part in the workout.
After all the time trials, Luis G and Nico did some rolling 200s (8-10 of them) with the pro woman who paced the women's 5ks. I will say, in those 200s, Nico looked way smoother than he normally does.
I feel like Ferro was at CBA a decade ago! My goodness that kid could scoot.
I can't believe he still has eligibility at NAU.
