Don't look now, but Lila Bensky could be the next big thing in Class 4. She comes in as the top junior in our preseason rankings and could be the heir apparent in the distance races. Bensky returns for the 2018 track campaign with a 5:12.53 personal best and has run 5:20 or better four times in her career. She was 8th last year, but is a candidate to make a huge jump this May.
