I wonder if Sean Murphy would be close to their 4th if he switched from football to XC. He ran a sub-2 800, but I don’t know if he would be able to handle long distances.
Their 5th returner’s 5K PR is only 18:25. Tommy McMullen went from a 19:37 5K to a 5:01 1600 (after starting his season with a 5:33). That’s some good progress already. Maybe he will progress even more during the summer enough to catch up to their 4th.
