Men

800m

1 Jock, Charles Nike 2 Gurr, James Santa Monica 3 Emmen, Tetlo Brooks I.D. 4 Guyota, Boru Oregon 5 Evans, Aaron Oregon Track

6 Kitur, Felix Santa Monica 7 Abda, Harun Oregon Track 8 Smith, Tyler U. of Victor 9 Collin, Olivier U. of Victor

This is an exciting bunch of young guns (Smith and Collin), fresh out of college pros, and seasoned veterans. One thing is certain, Charles Jock will take the pace out hard and that this race should be sub-1:47.

Predictions:
1. Charles Jock- Nike- 1:46.83
2. Harun Abda- OTC- 1:47.44
3. Felix Kitur- Santa Monica- 1:47.99
4. Boru Guyota- Oregon- 1:48.32
5. Tyler Smith- U. of Victoria- 1:48.55

Mile

1 Watson, Cole Oregon 2 Creese, Robby Penn State 3 Elliott, Matthew Brooks 4 Johnson, Brett Oregon 5 Presson, Isaac North Caroli 6 Fleet, Mac Oregon 7 Yorks, Izaic Washington 8 Prakel, Sam Oregon 9 Simons, John Minnesota

10 Kidder, Brannon Penn State 11 Wakefield, Todd Washington S 12 Dey, Dey Brooks 13 Bertolotti, Marco Stanford 14 Dahleen, Zach Unattached 15 Stutzman, Tyler Unattached

The interviewee that stunned America (Matt Elliott) headlines this mile field with the NCAA reigning 1500m champ Mac Fleet. The Penn State studs: enigmatic Robby Creese and one of the top middle distance stars in the country Brannon Kidder also highlight this field. I could see at least eight guys going sub-4 in this race.

Prediction:
1. Mac Fleet- Oregon- 3:56.90
2. Robby Creese- Penn State- 3:57.23
3. Brannon Kidder- Penn State- 3:57.59
4. Isaac Presson- North Carolina- 3:57.93
5. Brett Johnson- Oregon- 3:58.11

3000m

2 Campbell, Kemoy Arkansas 3 Atchoo, Michael Stanford 4 Dunbar, Trevor Oregon 5 Happe, Nick Notre Dame 6 Rotich, Anthony UTEP 7 Stevens, Tabor Adams State 8 Batt, Kevin Adams State 9 Bitchell, Adam New Mexico 10 Zarda, Zach Unattached 11 Hurysz, Jake Colorado 12 Fraser, Rory Unattached

13 Saarel, Ben Colorado 14 Presson, Isaac North Caroli 15 Rayyan, Morsi Michigan 16 Kebenei, Stanley Arkansas 17 Theroux, Blake Colorado 18 Winter, Connor Colorado 19 Brewer, Chris Oregon 20 Endress, Wade Penn State 21 Caldwell, Luke New Mexico 22 Haile, Solomon Arkansas 23 Fay, Dustin UCLA

The most loaded field of the entire Husky Classic is the Men's 3000m. Kemoy Campbell is fearless and will make this a fast pace. I really like (and yes I'm a bit biased) Ben Saarel of Colorado and think he has a shot to run low 7:50s if not sub 7:50. 3k Steeple reigning champ Anthony Rotich of UTEP will be at the front of the race for its entirety. We will see ten sub-8:00 minute 3ks in this race.

Predictions:
1. Anthony Rotich- UTEP- 7:47.88
2. Kemoy Campbell- Arkansas- 7:48.29
3. Trevor Dunbar- Oregon- 7:48.92
4. Ben Saarel- Colorado- 7:50.00
5. Jake Hurysz- Colorado- 7:50.44

5000m

2 Caldwell, Luke New Mexico 3 Campbell, Kemoy Arkansas 4 Rotich, Anthony UTEP 5 Cheserek, Edward Oregon 6 Ward, Jared BYU 7 Atkins, Cole Zap Fitness 8 Stinson, Parker Oregon 9 Kebenei, Stanley Arkansas 10 Ferlic, Mason Michigan 11 Thatcher, Tylor BYU 12 Chelimo, Micah Alaska Ancho 13 Olson, Erik Stanford

14 Bosshard, Joe Colorado 15 Parrish, Mark Florida 16 Pearson, Morgan Colorado 17 Jordan, Drew Washington S 18 Walling, Ryan North Caroli 19 Cabada, Fernando Unattached 20 Rayyan, Morsi Michigan 21 Rosa, Joe Stanford 22 Flint, Steve BYU 23 Byers, Reesey Sacramento S 24 Zacharias, Patrick New Mexico 25 Fischer, Matt Penn State

The NCAA XC Champ Ed Cheserek will run his first open 5k in Oregon uniform and is certainly the one to beat in this field. Jared Ward of BYU is fit and will be in the mix along with Cheserek's counterpart Parker Stinson. Luke Caldwell has the fastest PR of the bunch (13:29) and Kemoy Campbell and Anthony Rotich are slated to run both the 3k and 5k and we will see what race they actually choose to run.

Prediction:
1. Ed Cheserek-Oregon- 13:25.32
2. Kemoy Campbell- Arkansas-13:26.55
3. Anthony Rotich (if runs)- UTEP- 13:27.01
4. Jared Ward- BYU- 13:27.83
5. Parker Stinson- Oregon- 13:28.00

Women

800m

1 Smith, Jessica Unattached 2 Crofts, Helen Valley Royal 3 Francois, Rachel U. of Victor 4 Leinert, Shannon Oregon Track

5 Kesselring, Anne Oregon Track 6 Kishikawa, Akari Hasegawa Spo 7 Nichols, Clara Oklahoma Sta 8 Landen, Shanie UC Davis

I really like the Kesselring vs. Leinert matchup here. Don't sleep on Jessica Smith who has run sub-2:00 outdoors in 2012.

Prediction:
1. Shannon Leinert- OTC- 2:03.02
2. Jessica Smith- Unattached- 2:03.15
3. Anne Kesselring-OTC- 2:3.78

Mile

2 Holt, Hillary College of I 3 Brown, Stephanie Arkansas 4 Quigley, Colleen Florida Stat 5 Fouhy, Vicky Virginia 6 Camacho, Savannah Oklahoma Sta 7 Fulton, Eleanor Washington 8 Penney, Sarah Oregon

9 Hall, Linden Florida Stat 10 Greene, Rebekah Florida 11 Leblanc, Annie Oregon 12 Arter, Charlotte New Mexico 13 Anderson, Chloe New Mexico 14 Hamilton, Carly Georgia 15 Peel, Georgia Florida Stat 16 Smith, Kelsey UCLA

Some of the top Mile-3k talent on both coasts headline this loaded Mile field. Florida State has gobs of mile talents and Linden Hall, Colleen Quigley, and Georgia Peel are capable of winning on any given day. Vicky Fouhy is a pure metric miler and will be in the mix. Kelsey Smith of UCLA (former Sleeper of the Week) has posted a solid altitude mark earlier in the year (4:42 converted). College of Idaho's Hillary Holt has run 4:11 for 1500m and could be the best in the group.

Prediction:
1. Hillary Holt- College of Idaho- 4:33.08
2. Colleen Quigley- Florida State- 4:34.15
3. Vicky Fouhy-Virginia- 4:34.42
4. Georgia Peel- Florida State- 4:35.31
5. Carly Hamilton- Georgia- 4:36.00

3000m

2 Houlihan, Shelby Arizona Stat 3 Strausa, Agata Florida 4 Knight, Katie Washington 5 Patrignelli, Megan Oregon 6 Juodeskaite, Monika Oklahoma Sta 7 LeHardy, Annie North Caroli 8 Heymsfield, Grace Arkansas 9 Gerlach, Tori Penn State 10 Thweatt, Laura Boulder Trac 11 Woolven, Pippa Florida Stat 12 Scott, Dominique Arkansas

13 Anderson, Elizabeth Vanderbilt 14 Callahan, Maggie Hts Elite 15 Walker, Hannah Florida Stat 16 Johnson, Rachel Baylor 17 Robison, Diane Arkansas 18 Tyerman, Kayleigh Florida Stat 19 Hauger, Maria Virginia 20 Beattie, Kayla Arizona 21 Verdon, Carrie Colorado 22 Roberts, Ruby Washington S 23 Flanagan, Kaylee Washington

Shelby Houlihan is above and away the class of this field. Florida's Agata Strausa has the chops to be in the mix along with Florida State's Pippa Woolven who is a diamond in the rough in Tallahassee. Kayla Beattie will certainly factor into the race at some point at Kayleigh Tyerman will be testing more of her wheels than her usual 5k-10k preferred race. Freshman Maria Hauger from Virginia's debut indoor 3k will be something to take note of as well.

Prediction:
1. Shelby Houlihan- Arizona State- 9:07.32
2. Kayla Beattie- Arizona- 9:10.73
3. Agata Strausa- Florida- 9:12.91
4. Pippa Woolven- Florida State- 9:13.41
5. Annie Lehardy- North Carolina- 9:13.89

5000m

1 Kroeger, Kathy Stanford 2 Walker, Hannah Florida Stat 3 Nelson, Meaghan Unattached 4 Foster, Karaleigh Oiselle 5 LeHardy, Annie North Caroli 6 Cuffe, Aisling Stanford 7 Behm, Mia Rogue Athlet 8 Kirk, Elinor UAB 9 Robison, Diane Arkansas 10 Haws, Morgan Team Run Eug 11 Dahlberg, Bridget San Francisc 12 Grabill, Molly Oregon 13 Kipp, Shalaya Colorado

14 Anderson, Leigha Penn State 15 Flanagan, Lindsey Una - Washington 16 Strehler, Barbara Virginia 17 Cliff, Rachel Vancouver Th 18 Levene, Abbey Colorado 19 Tyerman, Kayleigh Florida Stat 20 Pease, Sarah adidas/Rogue 21 Mendez, Allison adidas/Rogue 22 Beattie, Kayla Arizona 23 Blaase, Chelsea Tennessee 24 Flattmann, Kaitlin Arkansas 25 Lacy, Megan Stanford 26 Mitchell, Rachel Sacramento S

A loaded 5k (what distance field isn't loaded, let's be honest), with many ladies in the mix that can push the pace, will lead to hopefully a very fast 5k. We should be looking for at least 7 sub 16:00 performances. Hannah Walker of Florida State has great chops in the 5k from her time in Birmingham, England. Kathy Kroeger ran 15:46 at the Husky Classic two years ago. If Tyerman of Florida State decides on the 5k she will certainly be in that top pack. Shalaya Kipp will be an interesting person to watch out for as she has never broken 16:00 for 5k and she certainly could do it this weekend.

Prediction:
1. Kathy Kroeger- Stanford- 15:44.32
2. Hannah Walker- Florida State- 15:47.69
3. Eli Kirk- UAB- 15:50.55
4. Meghan Nelson- Unattached- 15:52.23
5. Aisling Cuffe- Stanford- 15:52.41
