1. Boys 3K
Brophy
This is a classic showdown between Jake Brophy and Dominic Hockenbury. Brophy was the big school state champion in cross country, while Hockenbury won the small schools race; after converting Hockenbury's 3200 time, their season bests in the event are separated by less than a second. (Note: the PTFCA clearly uses a different conversion factor than the MileSplit calculator does)

The two have rarely raced each other, and only one will leave State College with a title. Brophy is US #8 in the 3K while Hockenbury is US #8 in the 3200. US #15 two miler Jeff Kirshenbaum will attempt to crash the party.
