25. Bryce Grahn, Senior, Pittsburg State (Unranked)

Coming into the outdoor national meet, the Pittsburg State men knew that they were going to need every bit of help that they could get to win the team title. Luckily for them, Grahn showed up in a big way and at the right time in an effort to help with that team victory.

Grahn qualified for the steeplechase finals by running 8:52, a personal best at the time and that likely would have been enough to go home happily. However, Grahn then followed up that performance with a very nice race the next day that saw him take three more seconds off his time (8:49) and finish 5th overall.

That’s a five-place improvement over last year’s finish and what a time for it to come.

Grahn leaves Pittsburg State as a two-time All-American, with this finish being his first individual honor. His ability to peak in the postseason and build momentum throughout the spring months ultimately gives him the edge to make the cut in our rankings.

24. Shane Cohen, Sophomore, Tampa (Unranked)

There were nearly three months between the two times that Cohen broke the 1:49 barrier in the 800 meters. The first time came all the way back in March and the second instance was in the preliminaries at the national meet.

One of our biggest concerns about the Tampa standout was whether or not he’d still be in good enough shape to compete with this loaded 800 meter field on the national stage. The answer was a resounding "yes" after he ran 1:48 in the prelims and posted the fastest time heading into finals.

Cohen ultimately finished 6th when the race turned into a glorified 400 meter race. The Tampa star faced the same challenges as the rest of the field as he didn’t have the same kind of kick that was necessary to be competitive for the title.

Even so, this is an improvement from last season when he finished 9th, and if he continues to improve at the same rate as he did this season, then he’ll be yet another name who we’ll be talking about for the next couple of years as a threat to taking home the title.

23. Keith Osowski, Senior, Black Hills State (Unranked)

Look, it was going to take everything that Osowski had in order to be competitive in this steeplechase field this year. However, what we didn’t think would happen is that Osowski would have the best two races of his life on back-to-back days.

The Alaska native ran 8:49 in the preliminaries to qualify for the final. At the time, that was a personal best and likely could have sent Osowski back to Black Hills State with a smile on his face. Instead, he came back the next day and ran 8:48 (!) to set another personal best and take home 4th place honors in the event.

This was the first time Osowski had been to an NCAA meet – let alone in the final. We talk about how much experience matters to some athletes, but despite zero NCAA experience, he was not scared of the moment.

It’s a bummer that this is the last we will see of Osowski, but he leaves on a high note and with some of the best momentum in Division Two.

22. Tanner Maier, Rs. Sophomore, Minnesota State (-12 / 10)

It was a rough finish to Maier’s breakout season after he missed the final by a single spot. It seemed as though he was going to be safe after running 1:49.96, but unfortunately, that’s the disadvantage of being in any heat other than the third one.

Regardless, Maier had one helluva season that saw him set a new personal best of 1:48.35 as well as take home the NSIC crown in the 800 meters. Sure, it’s not what he was likely looking for when he left Allendale, but that’s part of the volatility in this event.

Just a sophomore, there’s lots to be taken away from this experience and plenty of ways to apply new things that he has learned. There’s no doubt in our minds that he will be back stronger next season and he’ll certainly need to be because the rest of the field won't be any weaker.

21. Nathan Hood, Senior, CSU-Pueblo (+4 / 25)

Hood has quietly had the strongest season of his already excellent career at CSU-Pueblo and he capped it off with a very nice run in the 800 meter final by finishing 4th overall.

He moves up four spots because in these rankings, because, well, it was just an impressive weekend of racing for him. He qualified for the 800 meter final with ease and despite having to run the 4x400 preliminaries and he was able to bounce back the next day quite nicely.

Hood ran 1:51.68 to finish 4th overall, but he ended up in front of his teammate Sharman-Newell which had not happened all season. It’s also worth noting that Hood is a senior and that this isn’t his first time at the NCAA meet.

We’ve always said that experience goes a long way and it appears to have been the difference-maker this time around.

Hood will end his career at CSU-Pueblo as a two-time All-American while holding a personal best of 1:48.28. He is yet another incredible 800 meter talent who has gone through the ranks of CSU-Pueblo and has come out with a successful career.

20. Connar Southard, Senior, Pittsburg State (Unranked)

Southard is a first-time addition to our rankings after his very strong end to the season.

After needing to qualify for the national meet at the CSU-Pueblo Last Chance meet, Southard made sure to take advantage of his opportunity when it arose. Having never run faster than 3:46 in his career, the preliminary race was either going to break him or build his confidence up for the final.

It did the latter.

The Pitt State athlete finished 4th in a 1500 meter final with some very talented athletes and there wasn’t much else that he could have done to finish any higher. He kicked hard (54 second last lap) and stayed out of trouble as necessary. He just had too much room to cover over the final 400 meters as he tried to make his way from 11th to 1st and wound up in 4th when it was all over with.

Southard played a huge role in helping the Gorillas win the team title as an extra five points in a team race goes a long way. But it’s also the first time Southard has finished as an All-American on the outdoor track.

That’s the chef’s kiss to his underrated career at Pittsburg State.

19. Miguel Coca, Junior, Adams State (+2 / 21)

Coca hasn’t been around for long while wearing an Adams State jersey, but he has certainly fit right into their culture of being majorly successful.

The Grizzly ace contested two events at the national meet and saw himself walk away with his first-ever All-American honor after finishing in 5th place in the 1500 meters.

When Coca made his move with 200 meters to go in that race, it appeared that he had attacked the field at just the right time, although he was ultimately caught in the final 100 meters.

Still, you can’t blame Coca for trying to go when he did. He arguably doesn’t have the same kind of kick as the rest of this field, and after it had become slow, he needed to do something in order to give himself a shot – and it nearly worked.

He also set a personal best in the preliminaries running 3:42, something that his races at altitude had told us was possible. The 5000 meters can be thrown away when looking at his results as most who attempted this double fared the same way.

Overall it’s a two-spot improvement in our rankings for Coca and rightfully so. His improvement in both the 1500 meters and the 5k this year is a testament to his willingness to work on his weaknesses.

With another year of training under his belt, it’s no surprise that we’re talking about yet another Adams State All-American.

18. CarLee Stimpfel, Junior, Saginaw Valley State (Unranked)

It’s probably time that we (mostly me) stop underrating Stimpfel when it comes to championship racing. Without being certain that he was going to qualify for the national meet in the 5000 meters, Stimpfel showed up at the start line for the 10k and the 5k on NCAA Championship weekend and walked away with two 5th place finishes.

Stimpfel has been an impressive runner dating back to the cross country season and he’s ridden that momentum and success all the way to the outdoor oval. He’s always finding himself in the right place at the right time and he’s been rewarded for it on multiple occasions this year. His improved fitness has allowed him to use his ability to race at the highest level, sticking with whatever the pace may be.

Stimpfel will be venturing to Michigan State next year as a graduate transfer, meaning that his time in D2 has finished. However, now seems like an appropriate transition period for the SVSU ace who left a quietly great impact on the GLIAC and the NCAA as a whole.

17. Ben Nagel, Senior, Indianapolis (Unranked)

When we previewed the men’s 800 meters, we talked about Nagel as one of our "dark horse" candidates to be an All-American. He was one of the last athletes into this field, but his performances at last year’s national meet led us to believe that he’d find his way near the top once again.

Of course, he wouldn’t find himself in our rankings if things had gone poorly.

Nagel finished 3rd in the 800 meters and did so in a gutsy race. He took the lead when no one else wanted to and brought the field through in 58 seconds before trying to cover Ferguson’s move with 300 meters to go.

He was eventually caught by Rugenerwa, leading to his 3rd place finish, but it was yet another strong display of racing from the Greyhound athlete who has proven to be an excellent tactician and a brave veteran.

This was a nice way to round out his career in the Division Two world as he’ll head to middle distance powerhouse Virginia Tech as a graduate transfer next year.

16. Aaron Ahl, Rs. Junior, Simon Fraser (-11 / 5)

It’s hard to put a lot of blame on Ahl after he finished 10th in the 1500 meters. He was right where he was supposed to be with a lap to go before a fall knocked him, Clayton Sayen and Paul Kraemer essentially out of the race.

It’s hard to say where he would have finished, but given what he had run earlier in the season, we think it would have been towards the front. That 1500 meter finish is really a wash given that Ahl had qualified for the finals in both of his events (the other being the 800 meters). He had a chance to bounce back in the 800 meters a little bit later where he finished 6th.

But there was a catch...

Ahl was disqualified after another fall which was questionably deemed to be his fault. It’s disappointing that we didn’t get to see Ahl when everything broke right for him because he’s proven to be one of the more electric athletes in Division Two.

Unfortunately, he does drop in our rankings, but this drop stems more from his bad luck than his actual racing.

Ahl is in the record books after his 3:39 this season and likely will be for a while, but some of the best athletes in D2 history don’t have an NCAA title to show for it. That’s where Ahl finds himself as he now leaves a significant mark on Simon Fraser’s track program.

15. Charlie Dannatt, Freshman, Simon Fraser (0 / 15)

Dannatt attempted one of the more volatile doubles at the national meet. He came out successful in one event, and not so much in the other.

We’ve talked about how good of a miler Dannatt was and it’s no surprise that he was 3rd in the 1500 meters the other weekend – an improvement upon from his 5th place finish in the mile at the indoor national meet this past winter.

It appears that Dannatt and Ahl had a plan during the preliminaries and running fast was part of said plan. Dannatt had the fastest time coming into the final after they ran 3:42 and if he wanted a chance at winning the title, then he likely needed to run that fast again to do so.

In a tactical race, it often comes down to who has the best foot speed and that was not something that we would have attributed to Dannatt on the indoor oval. However, his continued refinement of speed seemingly paid off for him as he was able to close in 54 seconds and outlast everyone but Elson and Miller.

Now, the 800 prelims didn’t go as planned, but everyone, Dannatt included, knows how hard the 800/1500 double is.

We don’t think necessarily think that his 800 prelim result (failing to advance to the finals) changes how we feel about him. He’s still an elite D2 middle distance runner and he’ll be a national-caliber threat as long as he’s in a Simon Fraser uniform.

14. Jake Mitchem, Rs. Senior, Colorado Mines (-2 / 12)

Mitchem finished 3rd in the steeplechase for the second-straight season and he ran the perfect race possible in order for that to happen. Instead of going with Clement Duiogou and Reece Smith, Mitchem instead controlled the chase group.

He finished his race with a 67-second last lap, the second-fastest of anyone in the field. That’s important, because Mitchem ran 8:45 and was only three seconds back of Duigou’s 8:42. Had Mitchem been a bit more aggressive prior to the final lap, he could have been looking at a 2nd place finish.

We could even be talking about him winning the title, but we'll slow our roll there.

There’s also a good chance that Mitchem could have faded if he had run with the other two men at the front which is often the challenging dynamic that runner's face during championship meets.

There’s no telling what would have happened if Mitchem played it safe or not, but it’s hard to argue against consistency and that’s what he has been over the course of this season.

Plus, who can be upset about a bronze medal?

13. Tanner Chada, Rs. Junior, Grand Valley State (-2 / 11)

At the end of the day, it was just an average national meet for Chada as he wrapped up his junior season as a Laker. While he’s bringing home two more All-American trophies, there’s no doubt that he left us wanting more.

Chada started the meet with an 8th place finish in the 10k and while that is a top-eight performance, we’re left wondering why he didn’t finish better than that.

The 10k, in theory, was supposed to be his best race, but that didn’t really stand true this time around. Conversely, he finished 4th in the 5k less than 48 hours later and that more closely resembled what we saw when he was a true freshman on the track.

Chada does drop two spots in our rankings, but that's not necessarily his fault. That's more based on how others performed. Generally speaking, we fully expected him to walk away with two All-American awards -- and he did exactly that.

Chada has consistently been an upper-echelon runner, but when it comes to championship racing, he seems to be missing that last little bit that puts him over the top.

12. Reece Sharman-Newell, Freshman, CSU-Pueblo (-8 / 4)

Dropping Sharman-Newell a total of eight spots feels a bit aggressive, but the reality is that this 800 meter final was his race to lose and unfortunately, that’s what happened.

Did the 4x400 meter relay prelims sap the energy from Sharman-Newell's legs before the finals? Maybe, but regardless, the thought process was that he would try and outrun everyone in the field regardless of who they were.

That, however, was not the case when finals came around. Instead, it was left to a single-lap race and that might have been the downfall of Sharman-Newell who faded to 5th place.

One of the greatest aspects of this Thunderwolf athlete was his incredible strength and we thought we’d see him be aggressive and take advantage of that. When the field went out in 58 second, it was just about whose legs were fresher instead of who was a stronger runner.

Whatever the case may be, this was one of the bigger surprises of the meet.

Now, in fairness to Reece, championship racing may have played a role. It's hard to argue that, aerobically, he wasn't the best 800 meter runner in D2 based on his 1:45 PR.

11. Butare Rugenerwa, Rs. Junior, West Texas A&M (+9 / 20)

This version of Rugenerwa was only around for what feels like just a blip this season. But all that matters is that you’re fit at the right time and that’s exactly what we saw after his national meet performance.

Coming into the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Rugenerwa was overlooked despite his time of 1:47 and that was largely due to Sharman-Newell taking the event by storm this year. However, that may have been a benefit to Rugenerwa and his attempt to repeat as the outdoor champion.

In two rounds of the 800, we saw the exact same game plan from him and it nearly worked both times.

First, he waited in the preliminaries before blowing by the field down the homestretch to qualify for the final. Then, he did the same thing in the final, but he may have been affected by the slow first lap as he ran out of real estate trying to catch Wes Ferguson in the final 100 meters.

There’s no doubt that Rugenerwa is an elite talent. But our biggest concern, even after a nine-spot jump, is his consistency.

He has bounced in and out of our rankings during the 2022 season and he’ll end inside our top-12, but in an event as good as this, with so much youth, it will be tough sledding going forward.

10. Austin Miller, Rs. Senior, Augustana (SD) (+6 / 16)

If Miller had been racing a full mile instead of the 1500 meters, we’d likely be talking about one of the best come-from-behind victories in recent memory.

For 95% of the race, Miller found himself bringing up the rear of the field. When the bell went off, the best place for Miller to have been was at the back of the pack as a fall likely wiped some of the favorites out of the race earlier than anticipated.

The last lap for Miller was 53.74 seconds – the fastest of anyone in the field. That left him just three-tenths of a second behind Elson, 3:46.62 to 3:46.35. Like we said, had it been a full mile race, there’s a good chance that Miller would have ended up on top.

Miller had one of the best outdoor seasons of anyone in the country. And it was by far the best season in his career at Augustana. With his improved tactics and fitness, things lined up perfectly for Miller to be competitive at the NCAA Outdoor Championships this season.

That’s exactly what he did this season and why he finds himself at our TSR #10 spot.

9. Clement Duigou, Junior, Adams State (-2 / 7)

When you’ve run as fast as Duigou had going into the national meet, it was no surprise that he had a target on his back. And Duigou seemed to be perfectly fine with that after qualifying for the steeplechase finals.

What he didn’t seem fine with was anyone going with him when he decided it was time to make his move. Before we were even a mile into the race, Duigou had started to put a couple of seconds on the field, but Reece Smith was with him each step of the way.

With 800 meters to go, he no longer looked comfortable and there was some discomfort in his body language. That’s ultimately when Smith made his move. The Adams State athlete finished 2nd in a time of 8:42, but it was clear that he had seemingly taken his own legs out from underneath him, allowing a bit more vulnerability than he would have liked.

Duigou will still go down in history solely because of his 8:29 PR, but add him to the list of athletes who came into the meet with the top time in the country and didn't quite deliver.

We're not entirely sure that he deserves to move back a couple of spots, but we saw some really good performances that landed others in front of him in our final update.

8. Isaac Harding, Rs. Senior, Grand Valley State (-5 / 3)

It’s safe to say that Harding ended his collegiate running career wanting much more in his final meet than what he actually walked away with. He finished 4th in the 10,000 meters and later doubled back to finish 6th in the 5000 meters a couple of days later.

Both of those are good performances for the Grand Valley State athlete, but after winning the 5k last year, hopes were high that’d he be able to repeat the performance.

That, however, was not the case this time around. After sticking his nose in it at seemingly the right time, Harding just didn’t have the legs to finish in an effort that was needed to take home the victory.

And that’s how it played out for Harding in both races. Normally. we’ve seen him with a very strong kick at the end of his races and that’s how he took home the victory last year. He’s still an elite talent and his times speak for themselves when it comes to the 5k and 10k, but a fall in our rankings was inevitable after not finishing higher than 4th.

7. Reece Smith, Sophomore, Northwest Missouri (+12 / 19)

Reece Smith stock had been trending upwards for the entire outdoor track season and it’s going to end with him finishing the highest he ever has in our rankings.

We now have a 12-spot jump for Smith and it’s plenty warranted after the outdoor national meet that he had. In a race that was highlighted by Clement Duigou, it was Smith who stole the show. In our recap of the NCAA meet, we had talked about how Smith benefitted from the race being fast and we’ll double down on that take this time around.

After his 5k breakout, it was clear that Smith was in great shape. We just didn’t know it was this kind of fitness level. Smith ran 8:33, broke the meet record and won by nine seconds!

It’s as dominant of a race as we saw that weekend. It’s also a race that was somewhat surprising given who was in the field. Yes, Smith had the third-fastest time this season, but we all know that translating personal bests to the national stage doesn’t always go according to plan.

Smith also contested the 5000 meters and finished outside the top-10, but it was always clear that the steeple was his focus. His time of 8:33 places him at NCAA #4 All-Time on the D2 steeple list and with two more years of competing, it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see him break that 8:30 barrier.

And who knows? Maybe he eventually breaks the record of 8:26...

6. Awet Beraki, Sophomore, Adams State (0 / 6)

It’s incredibly hard to keep Beraki at TSR #6, but sometimes that's just how things end up after an outdoor national meet. Beraki left Allendale with two 2nd place trophies – but both are likely to be bittersweet.

Beraki was the athlete who found himself out front pushing the pace in both the 5k and 10k in an effort to keep things honest towards the end, but both times it just didn’t go his way.

After pushing from two miles out in the 10k, he found himself with tired legs with 800 meters to go and didn’t have quite the same spring as Powell did.

In the 5k, he tried to push from just a mile out and it looked to work until he turned around and saw Zeru running with him nearly step for step. He would finish 2nd in a time of 13:54 and we’re not sure there was a better way of running the race. He knew when to strike and his game plan was nearly perfect – it just so happens that his opponents’ game plans were better.

With all that said, Beraki has made a name for himself this year and he’ll be on everyone’s radar come the fall. These performances instill confidence in how we feel about Beraki and as a sophomore, there’s still plenty of room to grow when it comes to racing at a high level.

5. Afewerki Zeru, Junior, UC-Colorado Springs (+9 / 14)

The performance by Zeru in the men’s 5000 might be my favorite moment from the NCAA Outdoor Championships. We had continued to doubt the UCCS athlete and his 3rd place performance in the 10k had already told us that he was an elite runner when the season was all said and over with.

But the way he won the 5k title, in a race loaded with elite talent, speaks to the level of improvement that Zeru has made in all the facets of his running. It has been apparent since the start of cross country that Zeru had taken his fitness up a notch, but we weren’t ever certain he’d win a national title.

He displayed elite racing tactics as he hung towards the front and found himself able to cover the moves from Beraki. With 1200 meter to go, he found himself in front and he laid down a 62-second lap that seemingly was the final straw for Beraki.

Zeru won in 13:52 and despite just two seconds between him and 2nd place, it was a dominating run from the Mountain Lion athlete which resulted in the ultimate prize: Gold.

Combine that win with his 3rd place finish in the 10k, and Zeru had just as good of a meet as anyone else. It only makes sense that he’s climbed into our top-five to end the season.

4. Dillon Powell, Sophomore, Colorado Mines (+4 / 8)

Powell had one of the best performances at the national meet and when he left Allendale, he was one national title and two (overall) All-American spots richer.

We’ve harped on this seemingly every time we've talk about Powell, but he loves a race when it goes out hard. His 10k race settled in right around 4:40 pace and we all knew it was going to finish faster than that.

At 8k, Powell and Beraki had put three seconds on the field and with 1200 meters to go, Powell moved to the front and proceeded to close the final 800 meters in 2:04 en route to putting 10 (!) seconds between him and the 2nd place finisher, Awet Beraki.

Less than 48 hours later, Powell found himself racing a little bit more conservative than normal, this time in the 5k. After hanging out in 8th place for nearly 80% of the race, he found himself right in the thick of it with 1200 meters to go. Ultimately, Powell finished 3rd, having waited just a little bit too long before making his move (he closed in 61 seconds).

Powell is this good and he’s been this good for a full calendar year now. He’s going into the next year of racing as your favorite on the grass and in the 5k/10k on the track. This double legitimizes that moving forward.

3. Wes Ferguson, Sophomore, Nebraska-Kearney (+6 / 9)

The outdoor national meet was the cherry on top of Wes Ferguson’s underappreciated season. Prior to winning his second NCAA title in the span of four months, his season would have already been classified as a successful one. He’s now a two-time NCAA champion and now has a shiny new personal best of 1:47 from earlier in the spring.

Coming in to the national meet, there was reason to believe that Ferguson just didn’t have enough wheels to run with Sharman-Newell, but that was quickly dispelled in the final, mainly because of how that race was run.

After Ferguson qualified for the final, we were left wondering how it would play out tactically.

As it turns out, and likely by no mistake, it played right into Ferguson’s strengths. After going through 400 meters in 58 seconds, he jumped to the lead at 300 meters to go and never looked back as he closed in 52 seconds, putting nearly half a second between him and 2nd place.

The overall season Ferguson just had is one of the better ones we’ve seen from an 800 meter athlete. He has already been an elite athlete and he is just a sophomore, meaning there’s more for Ferguson to accomplish during his time at Nebraska-Kearney.

And who knows, maybe we're witnessing another all-time star blossoming right before our eyes.

2. Callum Elson, Junior, American International (0 / 2)

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who has been keeping up with our rankings this season.

After taking home the indoor mile title, Elson proceeded to win the Penn Relays mile, win multiple NE-10 titles and drop his personal best in the 1500 meters down to 3:41 – all prior to the outdoor national meet a few weekends ago.

Immediately to the front, Elson controlled the 1500 meter finals for its entirety and when someone inevitably made a move with 200 meters to go, he responded immediately, leaving no question as to who was going to win that race.

Yes, his 5k result on the double didn’t pan out as well as he may have liked, but it’s hard to argue against the athlete who won the mile title and then followed suit during the outdoor season as well.

If this is the last time we see Elson, then it’s one of the best single seasons of competition that we have seen in a while.

1. Christian Noble, Rs. Senior, Lee (Tenn.) (0 / 1)

Yes, we know that this is a controversial ranking, but Noble was ranked in our last update even after it was announced that he wouldn't be competing at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and was instead turning pro.

At the end of the day, he still competed in D2 and threw down crazy impressive marks that rank amongst the best of all time. His D2 results are simply unmatched.

If Edward Cheserek dominated D1 for a season, but then suddenly went pro right before a national meet, would we really say that he wasn't the best runner in D1 that year?

Probably not.

So for that reason, Noble sticks at TSR #1, although we can certainly understand any opposing arguments. Ultimately, there isn't a right answer.
