The big question all year for Providence was would they have a number five runner and the emergence of Grace Thek at #5 has eased many of your concerns. Arizona is the only other team giving a substantial shot of beating Providence.

In the USTFCCCA coaches polls, only one point separated Providence and Arizona. In the LRC Polls Providence has more than twice as many first place votes as Arizona.
