My prediction is yes. He seems to been getting stronger and stronger this season and has not over-raced himself at all. Watching the race last year, there seems to be no one else at the same level as Chelanga. When he took off hitting the first "k" in 2:30-something, the rest the field nearly shit themselves. It took Rupp til 3k to finally realize he needed to get with him. I just don't see him losing, unless he falls or something, and even then, I'd still take him over Fernandez or Derrick. He is a class act and built for cross country: Chelanga FTW.
