my boy Fisher Men's title
I think NAU wins the men's race as well, still have Stanford at nationals but they wont be quite there yet at the moment and I don't expect them to run their very best team.

Allie O for the women's title
I think New Mexico is gonna win even if Stanford runs their best squad, but again they probably wont so New Mexico for sure.

Any other predictions? Women's race goes off in just over two hours.

I have:
Men: Knight/NAU
Women: Ostrander/New Mexico

Should be some good racing.

I got

Men: Fisher/NAU
Women: Kurgat/New Mexico

Knight had to have taken a break after worlds so this would be a very abbreviated build up for him.
Fisher didn't even do USA's and he's been healthy. He has a much bigger block of training going into this. At NCAA I might pick Knight, but Fisher has to be more fit.

NAU looked very good in Louisville, and with no BYU/Oregon/Colorado and no full strength Stanford, they're my pick.

Kurgat beat the two time NCAA 10k runner up, Alice Wright and 3k/DMR Champ Dani Jones at Norte Dame by 10 seconds. That's huge and Louisville course is arguably faster than Notre Dame where Allie O only ran 16:28. Sure Allie didn't have tons of competition, but let's be honest, it'll take a lot more than that to take down Kurgat or Wright for that matter.

No Colorado, no Oregon, no full strength Stanford = Big W for New Mexico.
