Young was sensational and DESTROYED the collegiate record but Alicia Monson's AR attempt went south really quickly and she dropped out.  Tsigie Gebreselama fan the first sub-30:00 women's 10,000 on US soild as Weini Kelati got the standard as did Britain's version of Parker Valby, Megan Keith.

A ton of studs, including Grant Fisher, Woody Kincaid, Luis Grijalva, Abdihamid Nur, and Moh Ahmed, will be chasing the 27:00 Olympic standard. Plus Centro and Jager in the 1500.

Young and Valby were incredible in Boston but we offer a dose of perspective before the hype trains get out of control. Sifan Hassan is running World XC, remember the name Quincy Wilson, and Footlocker Champs Drew Griffith and Elizabeth Leachman broke high school records as did Daniel Simmons.

Nico Young is no longer just the NCAA record holder, he is now an NCAA champion, as he captured the 5000m title in impressive fashion.

Will Nico Young arrive as a collegiate track star like Katelyn Tuohy last year or will Ky Robinson continue to dominate? Can anyone stop the UW milers? And who has the edge in the team battle?

At 21 years old, Young is the youngest American to break 13:00 by more than three years. Yared Nuguse ran 13:02 in his first 5,000 in three years.

The USA xc meet is in the books and we have 6 takeaways. Plus indoor track gets started this way with a big men's 5000 in Boston. How fast will Yared Nuguse run and might Nico Young become the first collegian to break 13:00?

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 beat OSU on a tiebreaker a year ago and both teams could be even better in 2023. Who will win it all in Charlottesville?

Plus can Joshua Cheptegei reclaim his king of distance title or is Jacob Kiplimo the new king?

With no overwhelming favorites in any of the distance races, 2023 NCAAs should be full of drama. Plus who is favored in the team battle?

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

Can precocious Nico Young win NCAAs at age 20? Could Alex Maier or Isai Rodriguez take the win on their home course? What about Stanford stars Charles Hicks & Ky Robinson?

One of the best days in US running is the last Friday in October as it’s NCAA conference championship day. We break down all of the exciting action for you here. *Results
