Team Spewak comes in preseason #7, but is only 7 points behind the #3 team. Spewak's team is very solid and includes 4 top 30 runners and 5 among the top 40. Max McDaniel of Festus was his first choice, and a confident one, at #4. He is C3 #2. The C4 #10 from Lee's Summit West, Ben Burnett, was his next pick. He followed that up with Kyle Anderson, another stud from Parkway West. Nathan Reed of Lafayette and Rock Bridge's new #1, Kylan Rottinghaus - Watch List #5 - followed. Blue Springs's Jonah Loewe was one of four Wildcats selected in this year's draft and then he reached for Jacob Ewer - Watch List #9 - of Kearney after that. His final 3 picks included 3 St. Louis area runners in SLUH's Paul Burka (Watch List #6), Lafayette's newest state champ (in the 3200m Relay) David Golder, and finally, University City's new #1 Terrico Garrett. Watch out as the rest of the league attempts to Stop Spe!
