NXN 2025 at-large bids predictions

Can Pella IA girls team get an at large bid? They took 3rd behind two top 10 teams

On the girls side, wouldn’t be surprised if Southeast gets one, if James Robinson, Brentwood, or Webb School of Knoxville gets 3rd at NXR. All 3 teams are ranked in the top 15 in the Milesplit rankings

Which team has a better chance at an at-large?

McCallie (15:38 avg at NXR)

Belen Jesuit (15:46 avg at state meet)

McCallie also beat Belen Jesuit head to head when they raced this season

McCallie in that situation but I don’t think either of those performances outshine the rest of the country’s at large cases.

yeah, I agree. Those performances aren't better than any of the SW/MW/NW #3/4 teams.

Looks like sw definitely will get 2 with Herriman being in 4th, CA will probably get 1 and the 4th?? Belen Jesuit, Mead could be quite a few teams.

Very hot race for NXR, McCallie has also been the better team all season. With that said, nepotism gives it to Belen

Unfair that the team that won this race had 6 guys transfer in either last year or this year

Still a great year for the southeast, the first year in a long time they’ll have sent 3 teams, which will almost definitely happen whether it’s McCallie or Belen

Christ School’s singlets even advertise their recruiting efforts “R P D P”.

Webb and Brentwood go 1-2

Robinson and Padua Academy tied at 3rd and 4th, with Robinson winning the tiebreaker. I think Robinson will probably get an at large for beating Webb earlier in the season

Belen’s 4th and 5th in the 16:30s today.

Sorry 16:19

If the SE gets an at-large, who are you leaving out from the SW/MW/NW/CA/SO? If Jesuit LA only gets 3rd (I would have them as #2 in the South, but the #3 and maybe even #4 team is well within striking distance), they were only 6 points behind SE#1 Christ School at GAXC and ahead of SE#2 Broughton (and Belen Jesuit)... and of those 5 other regions, the South might well be the weakest.

How are Noblesville’s chances of getting an at large? They were only 14 points back from Plainfield who got an auto qualifier, and they beat them at Nike Twilight by 42 points. Their 5th had an off day, he is usually 15:50s. They had an extremely solid top 4 at nxr with 15:01, 15:24, 15:25, and 15:38 on a tough Lavern Gibson course.

IMO Noblesville is the third best At-Large candidate so far. Not as good as the Southwest teams, but ahead of what looks to me like the battle for the #4 spot (though I expect California will also be in the mix) between Mead and Downers Grove North.

Herriman was actually#2. Two of the "teams" above then were unattached. Next two were Coronado and American Fork. I expect they will both get at large bids

Problem is their fifth runner who ran 158 speed rating, have a chance but that’s so many points

McCallie's is better but not good enough imo.
