The postseason is fast approaching and a handful of major regular season meets have wrapped up in recent weeks. That, in turn, is expected to make this weekend's distance running action a bit quieter (but certainly not silent) by comparison. And while a handful of D2 and D3 conference meets are taking place in the coming days, not many heat sheets are available for the top championships. So...what do we do now? Well, as head into the postseason, I thought now would be a good time to poll you, our readers, on where your feelings are at regarding each of the national title pictures in each of the distance events. NOTE: All votes are anonymous. Only one vote allowed per polling question. Be sure to click the "See All Options" button at the bottom of each poll to see a full list of voting options for each question. It may take a minute or two for votes to be reflected in the aggregate total of each poll.
