Ritzenhein was cooked. NIL deal and Ritz name couldn't give her the extra boost in this one.
Correct! That’s all fluff. The only reason she got all the attention and NIL and constant publicity the last year or so was because of her name. Couldn’t live up to it. Intuition says she’s toast in terms of any further progression

If she had a decent showing today Niwot could have won the championship. I feel bad for the other girls who pulled their weight on that team. Shame
Child. Give me a break. I said two words. You’re on a rant Brice of 2 words and because you got triggered by a potential reality. Sad
Her friends and family are losing their mind because they built her up to be something kind of Hedengren which she never was. I’m sure it’s also hard for her to read all the posts expecting her to be a Dudek which she’s not. Let’s hope she’s not another Cain case.
I have no idea who her friends or family are but I'm sure they think you are as pathetic as I do. I'm hardly a Niwot fan, we compete against them at least at state. However, I am an adult that isn't so insecure that I feel the need to attack children who are already down.

So you’re apparently one of those that thought she was going to be some kk d of star today. No one I knew thought anything more than what she delivered was going to happen. Nothing she did this season lent to any in the top 20.

No I never said that. In fact I believe her ranking of #12 was way too generous. She ended up in the position that was accurate based on all the other girls

I agree with this. Those predicting she would be on the podium were not realistic and obviously didn't follow her. They are the ones that are obsessed with children of past stars and have very little awareness of reality. There is absolutely no doubt that she works very hard and has achieved a ton. Regardless, there is never any reason to start belittling a teenager on a public forum like some have. Some of her fans may be ridiculous but she sure doesn't deserve this.
The girls ran pretty fast the year Touhy/N Young both won in a deluge/swamp. Several under 17 in worse conditions.
2019 was the year. Tuohy's winning time was 17:18.
In 2018, Tuohy won in then-CR 16:37 w/teammate Chmiel 2nd in 16:54. Third was 17:06.
In 2022, weather was great & ground firm by Portland standards. Riggs won in 16:40 w/3 others under 17.
Again, remarkable any girl broke 17 today.
Fortunately the course conditions improved A LOT from yesterday. If the race had been held yesterday none of the girls would have broken 17 minutes.
Dudek and Bartlett will be back next year. If 2026 happens to be one of the rare years with good weather, they might have a shot at Hedengren's course record.
I think Ritz has a bad race. You guys are talking about someone that has the all time course record for the CO state meet course last year and ran decently close to it this year? And had run under 10 for 2 miles. Let’s chill on criticizing teenagers.
This wasn't the most difficult prediction out there, but I got Dudek right and I was sure about it all along. I also knew that Emma Hoffman would be close and she got 5th.
Summer Wilson made me doubt for a moment there, but then she started fading because her move was a bit early and the terraces hit her
Kamari Ronfeldt got 18th in boys race and is from the same HS team as Dudek, which is almost unheard of in Michigan (maybe more common in CO and UT)
Wayzata won with their usual #4 runner DFN.....kinda crazy
Bozeman had something like this in 2016 when they won NXN. It was their 6th runner (same level as their 5th runner) that dropped out, but that made them only 5 deep.
So they might have an argument for an at large on the Boy’s side. On the Girl’s side SW teams went 2, 4, 5, 7. Their at large teams held up their end of the bargain. Plus MV won RunningLane.
Southwest will and should get 2 boys and girls at large teams every year in the foreseeable future.
