Threats To Win: Loudoun Valley (VA), St. Benedict's Prep (NJ), Suffield High School (CT), Brookline High School (MA)

Analysis: The top team in the nation right now in the 4x800m is St. Benedict's Prep (NJ), which ran 
7:43.68 at the 112th NYRR Millrose Games. St. Benedict's holds the fastest time in the nation by almost five seconds. 

Last year's champion Loudoun Valley can again not be overlooked in this race as it's already put up a 
7:52.78 this year and that was without Sam Affolder, who runs a 1:56.32 indoors in the 800m and a 1:54.13 outdoors.
