Nike made everyone pay to watch this year. Hardly anyone's watching.
I thought you were joking. You're not. It's behind the paywall. What a joke.
If I was Phil Knight, I'd fire someone at the company.
They literally spend HUNDREDS Of Thousands of dollars a year on the meet, actually probably 7 figures - then they charge people to watch it? Instead of spending just 10k for a streaming company to put it on for free? No way it costs more than 25k.
Nike execs, give me the rights, I'll broadcast it for free next year.
Look at the finish tape for the answer, USATF was involved this year. Death sentence for NXN

Does the course today have any history? More specifically, are the girls running the exact same course that Katelyn Tuohy ran, so that we can directly compare times?
Any other year, a team that finished fourth at their state meet but recovers to finish ninth at nationals would be a huge story. In Riverton’s case though, their ninth-place finish simply confirms that they are in fact only the third best team in their state class.

People clowning on niwot are eating their words now lol
I don't think I've ever seen fans of the fifth place team celebrate this hard.
Yay Niwot. You got fifth place. Way to go! Finishers medals are over there.
5th is pretty good for a team that, according to the majority of letsrun, didn't deserve to be there in the first place. Just goes to show how stacked southwest is.

Same course since 2013 I believe
but conditions vary widely year to year. 2019 was bad but the lake near 4K seems larger this year

The conditions just change so much from year to year it's rarely an apples to apples comparison.
2022 was about the best it has ever been in that regard.

Conditions are very sloppy and will be worse now that the boys ran. Giant puddles, people slipping, etc. Great for a XC race, but not great for comparing times to other years.
Would anyone have expected that top 5 beforehand? Can't wait to watch it if it's released. Must have been a problem for Daniel Simmons before the race started, he was in 113th place at the 1k mark.
Utah just gets slept on. Teams 1-2-9, and a good chance skyridge (won runninglane) or Orem (their runner Westfall took 4th) could've been top 20, plus the individual winner. Yet at NXR Southwest all the announcers could talk about for most of the race, was runners from other states. California has had similar state results at NXN, and they have over 10x Utah's population. It's wild to me
Underrated point. It turns out that coaching matters. It's not the only thing, of course, but it looks like an essential ingredient. We've seen several hugely successful programs turn into merely good programs when the coach leaves (NP, GO, LV...) but I think this is one of the few times we've seen a successful coach duplicate high-level success at another school
