NCAA cross-country: No. 4 BYU men lead state's strong contingent into national championship races

"It is going to be tough — toughest race of the year with the strongest competition and the most teams we've faced in one swoop," BYU coach Ed Eyestone said in a school news release. "If the guys can run and execute as they have all year, then we will be in a good position."

Eyestone said about seven teams, including the aforementioned and Stanford, Syracuse, Arkansas and Iona will vie for the title.

BYU is led by senior Nicolas Montanez, who was fourth in Logan. Freshman Brayden McLelland, junior Spencer Hanson, sophomore Clayton Young, senior Mitchell Briggs and sophomore Rory Linkletter (who didn't race in Logan) will represent the Cougars in Indiana.
