Wartburg is the clear favorite to capture its first national title in program history. The top-ranked Knights enter the NCAA Championships with 15 entries, of which 13 are billed among the top-10 performers this season. Just about every athlete Wartburg has going to North Carolina will be doubling, including national leader
Dallas Wright in the 400 and 400H, as well as three of the Knights’ distance runners –
Christopher Collet (steeple-5K),
Matt Heinzman (1500-5K) – among others.
UW-Oshkosh sits second entering the NCAA Championships. The Titans are looking for their first national title since 2009. UW-Oshkosh owns 13 entries, of which seven are ranked among the top-5 performers this season.
