Won Arrowhead Invitational this weekend but also ran a 186 speed rating the week before at the Homestead Highlander Invitational 15:37.06.
3
He beat tons of top Texas runners at the Marcus I Invitational. He ran one of the top times ever on the course.
4
Didn't have the fastest time from the meet, but he told us on the Skype interview earlier in the week he was taking it easy. He's looking to really get after it at Desert Twilight.
5
Won the Mason Invitational 5K running 15:47.60.
6
First meet of the season and he won over his teammate Chase Rivera.
7
Looks to open at Bowdoin Park.

1st 15:20.10 @ SEC Jamboree #1
Has had two solid races so far this season both with 5K times under 15:30. 186 speed rating from his 15:20.10 5K performance at the SEC Jamboree #1.
9
As he said in an earlier Q&A he will not be racing many big meets mostly duel meets with his team.
10
Took the ACT's this past weekend which is why he didn't race at PTXC-10 with his team.
11
TX
Not great racing conditions especially for Texas, but still finished second to Camren Fischer (AR). Still had a 185-speed rating and was less than a second back. Based on head to head history, Cheeseman will remain ahead of Fischer in this week's rankings, but the two will be facing off again later in the season.
12
Was the only one sub-15 minutes at the Murray Invitational. He said in a post race interview he didn't feel that great but just went out and "got it done." 14:53.00 for 3-miles and a 183 speed rating.
13
He had the fastest time of the Liberty Bell Cross Country Invitational with his 15:17.00.
14
Fastest speed rating so far this year. It might be a little off but he still ran a solid time of 14:48.70 for 3 miles.
15
Strangio has had three performances so far this year running 13:36.00 for 2.7 miles, 15:39.70 for 3-miles and 10:54.50 for 2.1 miles.
16
Beat Carter Cheeseman who was ranked number nine. Only by a second and conditions were terrible. They both still had 185 speed ratings.
17
He was sick at First to the Finish, which caused him to not race well. He collapsed 50 meters from the finish and was still able to run sub 15 minutes and finish top 10.
18
He crushed everyone else by 30 seconds.
19
Won the David Charles Invitational with ease.

22
Had a very fast time at the Cherokee Classic. He was the only one under 15 minutes. He beat previously No. 15 ranked Jake Renfree by over 45-seconds.
23
Fast speed rating beating Silas Winders this past weekend, but he also lost to Silas Winders and David Ahlmeyer the week before. What puts him on the list over those two is his 186 speed rating he is one of only a handful of guys who have run 186 speed rating or better so far this year. Adding him on here at 23, see if he can keep up the big performances to climb higher on the list.
24
Beat previously 22nd ranked Nicholas Russell twice. Has speed ratings of 184 and 180.
25
Won the First To The Finish Invitational with a solid time of 14:24.4 for 3-miles.

Editor's Comments

Off The MileSplit50:

Alex Maier - To start his senior year he's had two tough races. He's unfortunately not looking like the Alex Maier of old, but... it is still early in the season so he has time to make it back on the list. As of right now there are guys who have run faster than him in Texas and the nation.

Jake Renfree - He finished second at the Cherokee Classic but he was really far behind the winner, originally unranked Cole Bullock.

Stetson Moss - Won the Bronco Classic easily small six-team meet.

Nick Russell - Lost to Zachary Erikson once and Nathan Green twice.
