On this week's Outside the Oval, host Gavin Frick breaks down his newly released Men's NCAA Division 1 Cross Country Preseason Rankings, while also discussing some major news around the distance community as of late, including Stanford's recent heist of Newbury Park and what this means for the NCAA's most forgotten runner Thomas Boyden. Later, Youngstown State runners Ryan Meadows and Hunter Christopher join the show to discuss their upcoming season and the dynamic culture surrounding the Youngstown State distance program. This, and a whole lot more on this week's trip Outside the Oval.
