He will be an incredible pick for whatever college gets him (Wisconsin or Stanford).
Also, unless Templeton (or someone other than Joe or Dressel) run away with the FL title, then I would crown Kai as the final US #1.
Look at the other top finishers...Efraimson, Cranny and Haney are all world class middle distance runners on track at the junior level. Indeed, Haney back on a solid flat course was again the standout runner he was last summer. Down the road, do not forget how he and Wilmot ran at NXN...love to see them go at it at Arcadia or Penn or NBON...
Of all things, both winners reminded me of how Abby D. Crushes college fields fall and spring.
When I think back on which teams did what I don't see a correlation between what they did pre race and where they finished. I think its more about what each runner needs to be able to prepare for the race. For some the cold is not a factor, for others it is. As long as you take care of doing what you need, you'll be fine (able to perform up to your capabilities). I can tell you this - as much as a day or more before the race we could see those who were freaked out by the cold and focused on it too much to the detriment of their performances.
What Wilmot did worked for him and that's all that matters. Anyone would have been impressed by that performance but I think even more, his nerve in going that far out in front of a field of that quality. You have to have a ton of confidence in yourself and your training to do that. Congrats to him. Both races had sme of the best performances I've ever witnessed on an XC course.

I wondered about that aspect on Fri when teams were running the course (and/or posing) shirtless... I'm not sure which teams they were, though, so I don't know how it corresponds to their performances.
