Today's episode of the Citi's MAG podcast is brought to you by The Wood Report.

0:04.1

Over the past couple months we've been releasing our very own cross-country projections on

0:08.7

Citiismag.com where we try and put together who we think will be competing at the 2017 NCAA cross-country

0:16.1

national championship and they've been pretty good so far and they've been compiled by

0:21.9

Isaac Wood who has been doing this since 2012 and in that

0:25.6

span of time I previously worked with him and now he's the director of track and field operations

0:30.4

at BYU which is a pretty good program to be a part of nowadays.

0:34.6

And if he wasn't good at it, he would have stopped back in 2012, but he's been pretty accurate,

1:14.8

We recorded this on Thursday night so he had two days before the national championship and

1:19.2

BYU is one of the Titans in the men's race so he's got some good insight into

1:24.7
