Arrow senior Christian Parks is the lone sub-17 5K runner in the field with a PR of 16:41. He is the No. 1 seed by over 40 seconds, and this will be an excellent low-key race for the meet record holder to get a season-opener under his belt.

Some other notable entries in this race are Parks's teammates, Joshua Boone, JT Price, and 1:55 800m runner Miguel Bankston.

Here is our pick: Assuming he is healthy, we see a pack run from the Arrows and then a breakaway last mile from Parks to defend his meet title.
