The Top 10 Freshmen Men To Make An Impact At NCAAs

Joe Dragon (Syracuse)

Joe Dragon and Dominic Hockenbury have been back and forth as two key players in this year's Syracuse squad. Both guys are 2016 high school graduates and are redshirt freshmen on the Syracuse squad. Dragon was 30th at Foot Locker his senior year with a 15:55.50. 

This year for the Orange, he finished ninth at ACCs and was their fifth runner to help them take home the 27-point team title. He was just out of the team's scoring five at the NCAA DI Northeast Regional. He placed 15th at that race, running 32:20.30. Between Dragon and Hockenbury, 'Cuse has a solid fifth man who can really help close down their 1-5 gap.
