#2 Jake Brophy Knows How to Kick It
"We've got 200 meters to go; if someone's gonna make a run at Hockenbury, they better make it soon!" That someone was Foot Locker All-American Jake Brophy, who appeared to be out of contention but timed his kick just right to take the title after placing third in 2015. Brophy's final time of 8:33.14 ranks U.S. No. 7; Hockenbury's final time of 8:33.62 ranks U.S. No. 8.
