NB Nationals Boys Preview From 100m To 5K


Boys 5000m
Event Info: Friday 6/19/2015 - 9:50 PM

State of the Action

It's a tough race to predict, as the event see's most of it's prominence in Cross Country. On the surface, it would seem there are a few names to know here. Robert Brandt is making his way from California, and has 4:08 speed under his belt. Eric Van Der Els took 4th Indoors in the event, and could be considered the favorite. Conor Lundy is coming off a great season at the Mile, and the NYS Champ could grab the win here. Zach Brehm is having a similarly great season in the 3200m, and could translate that to the 5000m as well. Of note is that Alex Ostberg is entered. who has previously announced that he would be cutting his season due to injury. With him in the field, he would be the easy favorite.
