Who is the best winning team at NXN?

Hard to say. Kroy was amazing though, they had the champ and a very good 2-3 guys. Their top 3 would beat LV's #1. And Kroy had a solid 4/5 guys.

I think Meylan usually produced speedratings for each of the seasons, you could probably find them and at least see what the teams did on the day.

Let's not forget about when Derrick was in HS that team was pretty solid plus an Arcadia group.

NXN didn't have individual runners to begin with, right? So having the overall champ would be a little less impressive.

I don't remember Kroy's team specifically, just think it ought to be mentioned.

back at that time they allowed top two individuals from each region to qualify (it was when footlocker expanded to 40) and McNamara finished 12th that year and I think one of the Dettman twins was in the low 30s as the other qualifier.

Looking back on all of the past team champions on the men's side at NXN: if you had all the winning teams in the same race, which team would win? Would it be LV of this year, inaugural champ, Kroy, or some other team in between? Are there speed ratings from all the races that could show this kind of data?

Comparing the speed ratings will not say who would win if the teams raced head to head. The speed ratings are relative to the other racers in the field, and as fields have become more competitive the speed ratings for equivalent times have decreased. Comparing speed ratings in a head to head format would only show which team was more dominant in their respective era.

If they all had the same performance as they did at their respective National meets, I think this year's LV team would win. If this was not the case, It think 2014 FM would win 50% of times, LV this year 20%, 2013 Gig Harbor 20%, and an upset 10%. FM far underperformed at Nationals in 2014 and still won handily, and then Gig's 1-2-3-(4) punch would give enough low sticks over most teams 1-5 scorers to make up for how many points they suffer from their 5th man. LV has very good depth, but their mid pack scorers would place far behind FM and Gig's mid pack.

At least that's what I think. I don't remember the older teams than 2010ish, so I could be forgetting some.
