Everyone is overcomplicating this. If you want to excel in cross, run for Wetmore. If you want to excel on the track, run for Powell. Stanford is never a wrong choice.
Depends who the current coach is!

Eh I'd still take Wetmore over Powell any day for success on the track. His XC stars generally do very well in track, and he has coached some of the best pro track runners every (Simpson, Coburn). Dani Jones, Sage Hurta, et al have been fantastic in track, and on the men's side, Dressel, Klecker, Saarel, Hursyz, have all done well. None of those guys have the talent of a Centrowitz or Wheating, but I'd say Wetmore has done more with the talent he's had than Powell has with his, even on the track.

Culpepper has made it clear he wants to run the 800/1500. Why would he ever go with Wetmore when Cruz's, Dad who was a marathoner, set and held the school record of 3:39 for 20 years under Wetmore. 3:39 is not that good. Wetmore may know how to get it done with women 1500m runners but he has not come close on the men's side. Powell coached Centro to 3:34 at U of O. Kids these days do their homework and my bet is Cruz didn't want to go to CU and NOT reach his potential in the 1500.
You’re comparing an Olympic champion in that event to a marathon runner and the marathon runner was only 5 seconds slower? I’d say Wetmore is doing alright.
