There are five seniors in the top eight runners on this roster. Also worth noting is 2023 Cross-Country All-American and Steeplechase Olympian, Kenneth Rooks, would be on this team if he hadn’t turned pro last year. And 2024 High School National Runner of the Year, Danny Simmons, could be on this roster if he hadn’t decided to serve a mission right out of high school.
