Winnie Kipsang has also been fantastic to start the season, garnering three top 20 finishes, including two top 10 finishes.
On the men's side,

Patrick Estes have been the catalysts for the Mavs with Estes posting two top 10 finishes while Cichon has posted one top 10 finish and one top 15 finish.
The Mavs return to action next Saturday, Sept. 28, as they travel to Stillwater, Oklahoma to compete in the Cowboy Jamboree hosted by Oklahoma State.
