2013 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships: Men’s Preview
By LetsRun.com
June 4, 2013
The 2013 NCAA outdoor track and field championships begin Wednesday at Oregon’s Hayward Field. Below we preview the men’s mid-d and distance action for you as it’s hard to get excited about a race if you don’t know who is in it and have people to cheer for/against.
After each race breakdown, we give you the 2013 NCAA indoor results, the 2012 outdoor results and the list of the 2013 participants. For a list of 2013 best seasonal collegiate times prior to the start of NCAAs, click here. We preview the events in the following order 800, 1500, 10,000, 5,000 (because it comes after the 10,000) and steeplechase.
In terms of the team battle, the Track and Field News form chart has the top four as follows:
Arkansas 65
Texas A&M 60
Oregon 55
Florida 46
Their form chart also has individual top 10 predictions for each event.
Men’s 800: Can anyone stop Elijah Greer?
Oregon’s Elijah Greer finished on top indoors and is favored to do so again outdoors.
The top returner from last year, Oregon’s Elijah Greer is the favorite given the fact that he has the #1 time in the NCAAs this year and also was the indoor champ.
Who has a shot of pulling an upset?
Indoors, Penn State’s Cas Loxsom (2010 world junior bronze), battled him to the finish coming in just .10 behind. This is Loxsom’s last chance for an NCAA title. At Big 10s, Loxsom was beat by Minnesota’s Harun Abda.
Coming into the preliminary rounds of NCAAs, Loxsom was tied for #2 on the NCAA list at 1:46.77. That’s the same time run by Loyola’s Declan Murray, who was third indoors. In the preliminary round, Arkansas’ Patrick Rono ran 1:46.49. Rono was an indoor finalist and his father was an Olympic 1500 champ. Rono has three other Arkansas teammates in the field including SEC champ Leoman Momoh who ran 1:46.07 indoors. Florida’s Sean Obinwa was the SEC champ and was fourth at NCAAs indoors.
Verdict: Greer hasn’t lost since February 9th and he’s been crushing everyone outdoors and he’s competing in front of the hometown crowd. As a result, he’s the big favorite.
For example, he beat the Arkansas guys by more than 2-seconds at the Oregon-Arkansas dual meet. Now Rono wasn’t in that race and Rono was the guy who beat Greer on February 8th but good luck doing it again.

Men’s 1500: Patrick Casey Tries To Stay Undefeated And Win His First NCAA Title
NCAA indoor mile champ and 3k champ Lawi Lalang has opted for the 10,000/5,000 double outdoors opening up a huge opportunity for someone else to become an NCAA champion.
Andy Bayer is the defending champion. Indoors, he was just sixth in the 3000 but his form seems to have improved since then. However, we don’t think he’s the favorite.
The favorite in our minds without a doubt is Oklahoma’s Patrick Casey. The Montana State transfer is undefeated on the year at 1500/mile including indoors where he missed NCAAs with a minor injury. Casey ran 3:56 for the full mile indoors. Outdoors, he’s ‘only’ run 3:40 but he crushed the #1 seed based on 2013 seasonal best times in his teammate Riley Masters (3:38.79) at Big 12s.
Who could beat him?
We already mentioned Bayer. The next logical choice is NC State’s Ryan Hill. Hill ran 3:54.89 indoors and was the runner-up to Lalang at NCAAs. Outdoors, he was third last year. So he’s got good credentials. However, he was injured after NCAA indoors this year and didn’t run a race until May 5. He’s likely seeing his fitness improve right now but not at 100% as a result and it’s going to be hard to win unless you are 100%.
Verdict: Casey hasn’t lost all year and he beat Masters by a lot at Big 12s so we don’t know why that would change here.

Men’s 10,000: Lawi Lalang versus Girma Mecheseo
Not much to say about this one. We are very confident that Arizona’s Lawi Lalang will be your champion and that Oklahoma State’s 25-year old senior Girma Mecheso will be your top American.
Mecheso ran 27:52 earlier this year. The next American, Parker Stinson of Oregon, has run 28:34 so there is little to worry about there.
While Lalang is a 3:54 miler with a 13:08 5000 pb, he’s going to have to put in an effort to beat Mecheseo. Beating a 27:52 guy isn’t a walk in the park. But who is going to help set a stifling pace here to try to dampen Lalang’s 3:54 mile speed for the kick? Mecheso won’t have a lot of help as NAU’s Diego Estrada opted for just the 5000. If Mecheseo and Estrada were both teaming up on Lalang, it might be more interesting, but we just don’t see an upset happening.

Men’s 5000: What A field: 13:08 Versus 13:15 Versus 13:18
Lalang is expected to double back here and is a big favorite with his 13:08 pb. However, this isn’t a guarantee for him as he’s got two in this one who will be fresh waiting for him. Northern Arizona’s Diego Estrada has a 13:15 behind him this year. BU Northeastern junior Eric Jenkins has run 13:18.
Quick Take #1: Both Estrada and Jenkins are VERY good and this race should be a treat to watch. But since neither was able to beat Lalang indoors in the 3000 when he was doubling back on the same day from the mile final, we don’t know why they’d be able to do it outdoors when he’ll have a day off between the 10,000 and 5,000 finals.
Quick Take #2: Estrada is trying to avoid leaving NCAAs like Chris Derrick did last year – with the label of “One of the greatest guys to never have won an NCAA title tag” forever associated with him. Derrick never won and he ran 13:19/27:31 in college. Estrada has run 13:15 and 27:32.

Men’s Steeplechase: Henry Lelei is the favorite
The top three from last year are all graduated, and as a result, last year’s fourth placer Henry Lelei of Texas A&M is the favorite. In addition to being the top returner, he’s also the NCAA leader this year at 8:27.
Who can challenge him?
Florida State’s 18-year old freshman Zac Seddon of Great Britain, who has run 8:34 this year, is very good. The 5th placer at the 2011 World Youths is a big time talent but good luck winning an NCAA title as a frosh.
The only other collegiates in the field under 8:40 this year are Arkansas’s Stanley Kebenei (8:36), Portland’s Jared Bassett (8:36), and UTEP’s Anthony Rotich (8:37) and Aric VanHalen of Colorado and Alex Brill of Wisconsin who did it at Regionals.
The red-shirt senior Bassett is the top American entrant. He’s been having a monster senior year as he came in with just an 8:50 pb. Basett ran 8:38 last year. He’s from Coos Bay, Oregon (hometown of Steve Prefontaine) so maybe he’ll get some local fan support as well.
