His closest challengers will be teammate Martin Strong (Kirkwood) (16:21 SB) and Collin Clark (Ladue) (16:28 SB) who finished behind both Wallach and Strong at the Suburban Conference Championships.

The ladies of Kirkwood also will be the heavy favorites to win on the girls side. They ran really well at the Suburban Conference Championships and look to be getting stronger as the season goes.
