i want to see who other people think will have breakout years this year in cross country or distance and mid-distance track events. or, you can even say a certain program that will have a breakout year in cross.
my vote: jordan desilets of eastern michigan in cross country
reasoning: he improved greatly in the steeple this past year placing very well at nationals. however, he didn't qualify for nationals in cross. i think the strength and toughness required to run the steeple will aid him in pursuing a more elite status in cross (not to say that he hasn't run well in cross before).

Adam Tenforde, Stanford -- after good NCAA track 10k placing
Dan Lincoln, Ark -- finally a top five contender at NCs. -
I agree with you about Tenforde. It took him a couple of years to really adjust to college running, but from watching him in high school I think that he's a better XC runner than he is on the track.

Josh Spiker
Ritz - He's going to win something big next year. -
One Inbo Igiti, pr in da 5 mile is 21:00 mins. pretty impressive. Also Jouhda hihkal is a miler with a pr of 3:49. Better Watch out

But I think J. Torres will get his first NCAA Title.

this is on the shorter shide of mid-distance, but i would look to the 800 for some really amazing times this coming year. with so much young, good talent like johnson at tech and all the others it should be a great event to watch, and hopefully they can all push eachother and one of them will truely "break-out"
