These rankings are a joke.
What happened to Hudson Haley in individuals? Why are the south girls ranking teams that have been beaten by unranked ones?
Please tell me these people have no hand in at large selections. They obviously only look for familiar names.

If you don’t think they’re a podium team that’s fine but don’t come on here and say they’re closer to 30th. They finished 11th at NXN last year, only lost 1 senior from their top 7, and every indication based on their times this year is that they’re a better team than last year. Maybe they won’t be on the podium, but saying they’re closer to 30th is just ridiculous. Saying you think they’re top 10 but not top 3 would have people take you a lot more seriously than just throwing random nonsense out there.
Also some food for thought for all the NY/speed rating haters, Meylan’s predictions had Bethlehem finishing 18th last year and they finished 7 places higher. So maybe everyone should tone down this talk about how Bethlehem isn’t built to contend in an NXN style race since they already proved last year that they were actually more well equipped to handle NXN than a bunch of other teams that came into the race expected to beat them.
In the future years, will Bethlehem be able to maintain what they are doing now? They are 5-deep this year and are losing 2 scorers. Their #6 runner doesn’t do track. She does lacrosse in the spring

Hey guys is Ritz just going to dominate this year and try to become the next Katelyn Tuohy by 3 peating in 2025? Her dad is a legend. This seems like her destiny, right? Will she try to double NXN and FL? I ask because she's only run 2 races and its currently october 27th so maybe she's planning for a heavy post-season schedule of doubling NXN and FL??? That'd be so sick!!!

Englehardt?? She got 5th at Woodbridge by a big margin (20+ seconds) and XC is not her strong suit. Did she even run a 3200 during track even 1 time?

Young Ritz is a very strong XC runner, and she hasn’t yet really been challenged this year. She’s not as dominant as her dad was, but she’s very good. One of the California girls *could* beat her, but to act like it’s a foregone conclusion given how dominant she’s been over the last two years in XC and how good she was at NXN last year, that’s pretty foolish.

Engelhardt beat Blade 2 weeks ago...in an XC race.

I would be surprised if Addie Ritz repeats. Last year she won NXN running a very smart race on a sloppy track...but she was probably only the fifth fastest runner in the race. Others ran foolishly.
This year there is Blade, Engelhardt, Leachman and Hedengren, who would be favored over Ritz. If Addie won a 2nd NXN, it would be quite an achievement.
Engelhardt in addition to track is an all time CA xc runner. She now has all time spots #1 and #4 on the Woodward Park course, and has won back to back State titles, working on a threepeat.

I just Googled how much elevation gain the NXN course has. Trying to understand to what extent it favors the speedsters vs. the strength runners.
Since Google is no longer Google, but instead a stupid, incompetent AI factory, it spat out this:
The Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) course at Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland has *17,000 feet* of vertical gain. The course is considered a challenging championship venue. (emphasis mine)
Challenging venue indeed.40 -
Course has about 170ft of elevation gain
