Senior Tyler Edwards (Beaverton, Ore./Oregon Episcopal) has a good chance to score in both the 5000 and 10,000 meters this year, as he ranks in the top six in both races. Senior Henry Schonebaum (Faribault, Minn./Faribault) and junior Quinn Hoisington (Seattle, Wash./Lincoln) are ranked ninth in the 400 and 1500 meters, respectively.

In the field events, Ataa Mensah (St. Paul, Minn./Roseville) is one of the favorites in both the high jump and the triple jump, ranking in the top three in both events.
