Probable Top Five:
JR Taylor Werner (9:06 3K; 15:51 5K; 34:15 10K; 104th at ‘17 NCAA XC, 16th at ‘16 NCAA XC)
SR Devin Clark (16:15 5K; 9:49 3K SC; 118th at ‘16 NCAA XC; 48th at ‘15 NCAA XC)
FR Katrina Robinson (4:14 1500; 9:03 3K; 16:06 5K)
JR Carina Viljoen (4:16 1500; 9:30 3K; 48th at ‘17 NCAA XC)
SO Lauren Gregory (4:41 Mile; 10:08 3200; 252nd at ‘17 NCAA XC)
Impact Freshmen/Transfers:
Katrina Robinson via New Zealand (4:14 1500; 9:03 3K; 16:06 5K)
Quinn Owen via Flower Mound, TX (2:11 800; 4:47 1600; 10:25 3200)
Analysis:
The Razorbacks had an off-day at the 2017 meet, sliding down to 13th place overall. From that team, they lose Nikki Hiltz and Therese Haiss, their second and third finishers in Louisville. Both were All-Americans and Hiltz went on to finish runner-up in the 1500m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
But the rest of the top seven is back, including their highest finisher from 2017, Carina Viljoen. Taylor Werner had a tough race in 2017, but the junior was 16th in the 2016 meet. Devin Clark finished in the top 50 in 2015.
Freshman Katrina Robinson should be in the mix with those three. The 18-year-old from New Zealand has track personal bests of 4:14, 9:03 and 16:06.
