Analysis:

The Indiana men return five from their top seven from last year’s 18th place finish. This year the Hoosiers will flirt with a top ten finish if they reach their full potential in 2019. The team will be led by Kyle Mau who was 49th last year and likely will be a top-20 finisher this season. Re-inserted into the line-up will be redshirt junior Ben Veatch who should be stride for stride with Mau up front giving the Hoosiers a formidable 1-2 punch.

Rounding out the roster will be three men who have shown ‘off the radar’ improvements this past spring. Arjun Jha ran a sub-14 5k unattached, Dustin Horter ran a 3:44 1500 unattached and senior Bryce Millar ran a strong pb in the 10k, 29:28.
