Plenty of rough results for CA athletes at NXN today. More than conditions or having to wear spikes for the first time in XC I really think it has to do with the CA schedule. Racing State meet last weekend rather than a month ago is by no means an advantage.

Most of the California runners at NXN have worn spikes for a xc race before.

Only if they raced out of State and most haven't. If they have maybe one other time. But like I said that's not the biggest factor but a factor.

Isaac Abbott beat Pretre lol
If Pretre won this race, Menlo still would have finished where they did
15th at nationals is amazing considering they took 64th in the state meet merge last year

Great to see that Caldwell, Stefanopoulos, and others who didn’t make NXN but made Footlocker nationals

Buchanan CA girls were the only team that was able to podium that was not from the southwest region

Rip Liam Miller, bro was one spot off from qualifying😴

Why do I feel like Noonan would go to Stanford or UW?

Liam Miller dropped off a bit towards the top of switchbacks / on the descent. He fought hard to get back. He pulled back a lot of runners in the last mile but it wasn't enough. He's a really good runner. So close. Likely has to be a huge disappointment for him but he should be proud of his efforts this season.

Because he’s fast and fast people with his times. Although, since he hasn’t committed by this point, I assume he’s trying to increase his senior first semester grade so that he can commit to an academic school. I find that to be typically the case for high school athletes, who wait to commit later their senior year.

Lots of typos so let me rephrase: Because Noonan is fast and fast people with his times have committed to Stanford/UW. Although, since he hasn’t committed by this point, I assume Noonan is trying to increase his 1st semester senior year grades so that he can commit to a more academic school. I find that to be typically the case for high school athletes who wait to commit later their senior year.

Evan won the Stanford Invite 1600 in a meet record this past March.
Very few SoCal teams come up to Stanford given how many big t&f invitationals are held every late winter/spring in the LA area.
So, likely an unofficial visit. Or, maybe an official visit. Not sure how that all works.
Obviously, Stanford is recruiting him. Don't know what other schools Evan is considering.
If he made friends with L&L or Josh Bell when they raced at NXN or multiple state meets, The Farm may have the inside track.

I mean, Evan seems to be pretty tight with Josh Bell going by prior social media posts. Evan is also good friends with the Oakdale guys, Pretre, Aydon, and Carson Hedlund just to name a few. There seems to be a lot of comradery between the California guys.

Ayala took 5th at RunningLane
Looks like they ran 12 guys in the same championship race

It was an unofficial visit. Not sure about this year but his grades sucked last year.
