Notable Male entries(probably missing people). They're gonna need two fast heats of the 5k for sure.
Mile: Sam Ellis, Craig Engels, Colin Sahlman, Issac Updike, CPT
3k: Yaseen Abdalla, Tom Elmer, Amon Kemboi, Kenneth Rooks, Jack Rowe, Colin Sahlman, both Young Brothers
5k: Sam Atkin, Morgan Beadlescomb, Geordie Beamish, Andrew Coscoran, Tom Elmer, Brian Fay, Willy Fink, Ben Flanagan, Ignacio Fontes, Mike Foppen, Mario Garcia Romo, Olin Hacker, Dylan Jacobs, Ahmed Jaziri, Woody Kincaid, Joe Klecker, Edwin Kurgat, Aaron Las Heras, Kieran Lumb, Dillon Maggard, Travis Mahoney, Morgan Mcdonald, George Mills, Abdihamid Nur, Yared Nuguse, Theo Quax, Jonas Raess, John Reniewicki, Ky Robinson, Cole Sprout, James West, Nico Young
That 5k is gonna be BaNaNaS. Clearly everyone recognizes this as one of the best opportunities to knock the 5k Olympic standard down. As much as I would love to see all the top dogs in one race, you would think they are gonna have to split them up into two heats. I hope they announce the pace and rabbits soon.
Happy to see Abdi racing indoors this year. No Bosley or Grijalva?

I wonder if Nuguse is actually racing the 5k, or just rabbiting for teammates which has become quite common now days. I hope he's racing, would love to see what kind of time he can run if he really throwsdown!

He said in an interview a little while back he is racing
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?
11 people have ran sub 13 indoors ever (). How many of the runners above can realistically run this if the race is fast 7:50-7:52 was what the Ritz interview says the pace will be in the split heats. This requires a close of around 5:08(61s) to break 13.
Kincaid and Klecker both ran this last year, but I could see this years group getting larger with challenging collegians (Ky Robinson and Nico Young) and more OAC / international talent using the race to chase the 13:05 Olympic Standard.
