The NCAA Indoor Championships across all three divisions won't be happening until next weekend. In the meantime, the NAIA realm is hosting their national meet starting on Thursday (tomorrow)! And with seven different distance events being contested (five individual, two relays), there are going to be a lot of names to sift through.


Below, our two NAIA contributors, Marissa Kuik and Josh Beam, went through every middle and long distance event contested at the NAIA Indoor Championships (800, 1k, mile, 3k, 5k, DMR, 4x800) and gave their top-eight picks (All-American spots) for the men's and women's races.
