Andrew Mah, Newton North
It doesn't matter the competition, Mah is not afraid to push the pace if he feels the race is not honest. Don't be surprised if he forges to the front early in the Division 1 race to try and shake his rivals and eliminate a chance of getting out-kicked in the end by the faster closers - Shelgren and Oosting. The course record of 15:08.6 by Burlington's Paul Hogan at the 2013 EMass State Meet is sure to go down on Saturday. It's a time that is well within reach of Mah, who ran 15:22 against Shelgren this past weekend, despite falling down in the late stages of the race.
