Official 2018 NXN Discussion Thread

We need to have a pop-up IQ test that people have to take before responding to this thread because some of you people are so freakin stupid. Like you have lapped the stupidity curve.

The kid from NJ is going to dominate. You can't just compare times. Those kids like sproutnocker and alfred - they run on boneflat short tracks. Only the east coasters run on real courses.

You will see as NJ will dominate all of you and the other runners will be left crying for their mommies.

I don't think so either. 88% percentage (1/7 odds) means that if this race is run 10 times, 9 times out of 10, she wins it. Essentially for her to lose, something very unlikely would have to occur like (a) a last minute injury (b) an extremely poor race strategy (going out way too fast and/or leaving the race to the last 100m) (c) some sort of freak weather that "levels" the field. Even with (a), (b), AND (c) occurring, Tuohy would probably still win.

Don't forget how everyone just assumed Jenny Simpson would win NCAA. Nobody was supposed to be close and yet she finished out of the top 100. Anything can happen.

You are fools. CBA will dominate the world and the little wimps from loser valley will cry all the way home.

How many transfers from LV this year? I counted 5 of the 9 they ran at NXR-SE.

Tiahna Vladic. Heard it hear first. Will be top 3 and will make Tuohy a chump.

She’s not even undefeated. She finished 4th and 2nd in her races this season.

The 4th Place was at Great Falls where she jogged it with her teammates while recovering from being sick. The girl who won that race got destroyed by Vladic at Mountain West(by 42 seconds), Capital City 7-of-7(40 seconds) and the State Meet(23 seconds). She also beat Ember Stratton all year who placed 2nd at NXN in 2016.

She took 2nd at West Regionals. Recovering from a 2nd bout of sickness and a full race season. She has now had a couple weeks of downtime to recover and will place top 3.

I’m sorry but beating Ember Stratton in 2018 is not nearly as notable as beating her in 2016. She didn’t make nxn in 2017 and only made it this year at the at large bid. She’s much slower now. She seems to always be “sick” might be an exercise.

Very true. People were thinking she would dominate when she first moved to Montana.

Taking Great Falls out of the equation, she has won the other 7 races of the normal season by an average of 51 seconds. Running solo the whole year.

Girls:

Tuohy

Covert

Chmiel

Hart

Ewert

Boys:

Hocker

Anderson

Sprout

Bosley

Allred

Don't know teams.

Read that link to the Washington Post article today about Loudon Valley. It says they had 170 kids try out last year for the cross country team. That’s incredible! Apparently kids from all over the place now want to transfer there. I say LV wins boys team championship handily.

How would placing top 3 make Katelyn Tuohy a chump?

I'm going to name my kid cole. I'm not very fast but if I name him cole... he might be super fast.

Are you trying to justify your own times against runners from outside of the east? I'm assuming you don't realize that because there are some fast courses outside of your east coast little haven doesn't mean that all courses outside are "easy" or short. Everywhere you go you will find some fast courses and slow courses. But you can't just say some kids suck because they don't run "real" courses when they do and have been working hard all season to have a shot. Now go back to all your east coast preppy clothing and let the runners run.

There’s a reason why the majority of NXN individual winners come from the western regions. Sorry bud, your NJ boy isn’t getting top 21.
