All Americans Wanted in NB Nationals Boys 5K

New Balance Nationals Outdoor 2015
Jake Willard


The boys 5K at NBNO looks to be a good one, mostly because there are several guys in the field who can win it. The race does feature U.S. No. 4 in the 5K in Anthony Laurita from West Virginia. However, the 5K is not often a track event run in high school, so the rankings are not the best indicator.

Turning to the 3200m rankings, we have three guys who have run under nine minutes and are within three seconds of each other. It looks like it'll be a battle between Zach Brehm, Conor Lundy, and Will Lauer. This will be a good race to watch this weekend at NBNO.

Take a look below at the US Top 50 ranked athletes who will be competing in the championship Boys 5K at the New Balance Nationals Outdoor based on the entry list as of June 15th. Register and find more information on the New Balance Nationals here.
