Brandon Bethke before NCAA XC Champs

null

Possibly one of the most underrated guys heading into the NCAA meet this weekend, Brandon Bethke of Arizona State has really made his mark this year. Brandon finished 6th in a stacked race at PreNats, 2nd in arguably the toughest conference in the PAC-10, and also finished 7th at the regional. The road hasn't be the smoothest though as he transferred from Wisconsin in the summer of 2008 and was forced to sit out. Starting last spring, Bethke has been a force and is now a sub 13:30 guy thats going to be challenging for a top 10 spot, possibly a top 5 spot, at the NCAA Championships.
