Analysis:

After not qualifying for the NCAA championships last season the UCLA Bruins will look to make a big splash in 2019 led by a quartet of seniors. Robert Brandt returns to lead the squad after redshirting last season. Brandt has multiple All-American finishes on the track and will likely be a top 25 finisher this fall. Joining Brandt will be seniors Garrett Reynolds, Colin Burke, and George Gleason all of which have strong 5K personal bests to their names.

Rounding out the roster will be juniors Chris Morzenti and John Carter Blunt. As well as incoming freshmen Peter Herold and William Frankenfeld who could make the top-7 as true freshmen based on their impressive prep resumes.
