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).
