The Skinny: This isn't an extremely deep meet, as the six teams in competition combine for only 44 athletes who rave run a 5k this year, of which five have run under 22 minutes. There isn't any one team that stands out either, as the point differential between first and last is only 27 points, so the outcome really depends on which team's back-half runners perform best and have the best spread. That said, Stevermer is a returning All-State runner who has been extremely consistent this year (though not as quick as last fall), and should be able to take the win comfortably.
