If Kansas state champion Stuart McNutt wins this week's national XC performer of the poll, Oklahoma state champ Ben Barrett deserves an assist for the votes after the two pushed each other to blazing times in a border battle at the Missouri Southern Stampede on Saturday. McNutt won in a 5K time of 15:04, while Barrett was hot on his heels in second place at 15:05 to elevate both easily among the top 10 fastest in the country so far this season at the distance.
