Only real potential breaking up of Wisconsin and potential for top 5 in steeple to 10k:
Lex Williams
Chris Rombough
Hassan Mead (redshirting/injured)
Ben Blankenship
Jeff See
3 out of the 9 IU guys that should be able to but don't.
Minnesota is pretty smart. If they didn't think they could win, Studt wouldn't be redshirting and Hassan, even if on the bubble of being healthy, would compete.
Minnesota easily wins.
Wiscosnin on backs of young distance runners for 2nd.
IU (at home) edges OSU for 3rd
Penn State and Purdue battling for 5th and 6th
Iowa still not very good for 7th
Michigan who has fallen more than any program in conference from last year for 8th
Illinois showing some sprinters but not much else in 9th
MSU brings in rear.
