Imma say the homie takes 3rd place at natty's. With Luis and Mantz duking it out for the dub. Nico could do anything tho the kid is a beast.

Eh there is this guy named Kiptoo who might have something to say about that. My guess on Nico is in the 5-10 range.
I'm gonna say 2nd place, outkicking one of his NAU teammates but just behind someone else. He'll be #1 from NAU though
I have instructed my team to get 10 meters behind him and stay there the whole race.

Make sure that your team is welcome there before crowding him.
I think he will be 5th.
Kiptoo, Teare, Mantz, and another guy in front of him (probably Grijalva).
My money is on him, Luis and Kiptoo duking it out for 1st. Mantz ends up in 5th

Nothing wrong with what I instructed my team to do, unless they are impeding him.
I instructed them to stay 10meters behind him, so if he chokes and goes into lactic acid, my team also chokes and doesnt end up winning. Hopefully we wont go into lactic acid.

Top Ten for sure. My guess is somewhere between 3rd and 8th. And I agree; he IS a beast.
I think Nico gets top 4, but I think Grivaja takes this one.

I thought Mantz's win against him was pretty convincing, and I trust Mantz has the miles/experience in his legs to last through the whole season. Nico most likely will, but it's more of a wild card as it's not uncommon for freshmen to get a bit tired with the college training late in the season.
That said if anyone can have him in contention, it's Mike Smith. I just thought Mantz made his win earlier this year look pretty easy and would expect him to be even better in a 10K.

Yea, Mantz is not really a kicker, but he just sat and out kicked him that day

yeah i agree but that was young’s first 8k EVER. Mantz is definitely a beast! It’s gonna be a good race.
sounds like BYU's focus will be XC and only XC
