Parker Wolfe ran down Rocky Hansen to win USATF Cross Country, while pre race favorites Nico Young and Graham Blanks rounded out the strong Team USA for Worlds.

An American man hasn't even been on the same track in an outdoor 5000m race in over a half-century so we are super pumped about tomorrow's race. We talked to coaches Mike Smith and Alex Gibby and both were bullish about the fitness their protégés. Mike Smith: "I think you will see Nico position himself right in the mix to compete in this race." Alex Gibby: "I wouldn't bet against Graham in any capacity at any distance in any event." *MB: Are you ready for Thursday's 5000m WR attempt in Oslo - Any chance Nico Young breaks it?

The last super busy weekend of the year was full of action from all over the globe and we break it down for you.

Blanks ran under the World Championship standard in what may have been his final race for Harvard as Lemngole (14:52.57) just held off Hilda Olemomoi (14:52.84) and just got under Parker Valby's old indoor collegiate record of 14:52.79.

Just before Blanks chases a 5,000m pb at Boston University on Saturday, he told LetsRun about the key session of his 2024 XC season -- one he described as "probably the best workout I've had so far in my career." *MB: Graham Blanks REVEALS the KILLER workout that let him know he was ready to repeat at NCAA XC champ.

Graham Blanks joined the Gerry Lindgren, Steve Prefontaine and Conner Mantz club of repeat American winners as the year of Ed Eyestone continued with a BYU victory.

Last year, Graham Blanks accomplished something no other 21-year-old American man had done in 20 years - win an NCAA xc title before their 22nd birthday. Can he repeat and join the likes of Steve Prefontaine and Gerry Lindgren as repeat American champs?

It's time to get back into cross country mode. With young American stars Graham Blanks and Parker Wolfe returning to the NCAA, the 2024 XC season should be a great one.

Fisher won a great duel with Abdihamud Nur and Parker Wolfe dueled with Graham Blanks for the third spot.

Can Nico Young's dream NCAA season end with a win or will Ky Robinson boss him around like last year? Who wins the 1500 for the ages? And more.

The 34-year-old Centrowitz is gaining momentum as he pushes for one final Olympic team but should he be worried that he doesn't have the standard? Plus Leonard Korir looks like he's going to Paris and Japanese teen Kazuma Maeda runs 27:21 breaking his 5000 pb in both the firs and 2nd halves of the Japanese 10,000 champs.

Blanks ran 13:37 in his first race since December while Christian Miller became the youngest person in history to break 10.00 for 100m.

Valby is the first collegiate woman (and youngest American) under 15:00 while Blanks is just the third US man to have hit the 2024 Olympic standard of 13:05.

Cross Champs is Thursday, NXN is Saturday, and most of the NCAA's best will be in Boston trying to run fast 3ks and 5ks.

Tuohy did not get the repeat individual title but today's gutsy run may have been her finest hour in what may have been her final race for NC State. Our Jonathan Gault breaks it down in 3,000+ words.

Dave Smith's Oklahoma State Cowboys and Harvard's Graham Blanks were sensational.

Tuohy topped Valby in 2022 but Valby destroyed Tuohy at Nuttycombe this year. Who wins this much-anticipated rematch in what very well could be their final NCAA showdown?

NAU edged Oklahoma State on the tie breaker as Charles Hicks outlasted Nico Young.

The Week That Was is back as we take a look at the wild regional meets which were great for one teen phenom (Athing Mu) but not so great for some others like Nico Young and Katelyn Tuohy who will be watching NCAAs on tv. Plus did you know there is another US teen, Graham Blanks, who ran 13:27 last week but also won't be at NCAAs as he hasn't even started college yet?
