We do have a stable full of runners at the ACC level...


Look at what we did at ACCs in the the mid-distance and distance. I think we scored 62 (!!) points there alone. FSU only had 86 for the entire meet. We don't have the sprinters they do, but we have pretty good overall coverage given the depth of the ACC.

A top 5 finish is an exclusive club, and it is certainly a very optimistic outcome for us, but the NCAA meet is not necessarily a true test of the depth of a program. At that level only the truly elite guys can score, so you just have a few scorers for most teams.

So I think we have a good shot (at least 50/50) at top 10 at NCAAs. Top 5 would require everyone performing at there very best, but it wouldn't be impossible (maybe a 10% chance). It took 25 points to get 5th last year. We could get there.
