The Jaguars' multis duo of Kayla Wolnik and Mikayla Miller also sit among the league's top 10 in the pentathlon. 

On the men's side, the Jaguars are stacked in the distance events as the Jags have four runners among the league's top 10 in the 3,000m event, keyed by Eric Hoffman, who is second at 8:23.03 and Austin Ohm, who is third at 8:32.98.
