Rocky had 21 guys under 10:45 (they didn’t have Parker Goggins or Cole Reed run) so 23 guys with a chance at the 10:20 District Standard in the Spring. The Standard needs to drop to at least 10:10, if not more.

I wonder how some dude has information that isn’t published anywhere. Must have a direct line (or an even better source of information!) into the coaching staff to be able to quote 21 guys including who didn’t run off the cuff like that.
Do we have full results? I'm wondering how many boys broke 10:45 who will be getting into the varsity 3200 at districts during track. If Rocky has 10-12, Boise has like 8-9, T-line has like 6-7, and then Mountain View, Centennial, and Eagle all put 3-6 in each, we could really REALLY use two heats to avoid some of the problems from last year.
Point being that if Eagle has 7, Mountain View and Centennial probably have about 10. Boise probably has 15. Rocky 20.
How many of those guys are 800m or 1600m that won’t sniff the 3200? Probably at least 30%

The results say 3200. Looks like HOKA adjusts the team average to a 2 mile for ranking purposes.
You're right. 3200 average is 9:38.88, but average time is 9:42. Curious what Ringert and Heemeyer could run for 3200m right now. Heemeyer probably did most of the work in his and Ringert ran 9:25 to win his by almost 23 seconds. It'd be awesome to see Heemeyer, Lucas, Ringert, Stadtlander, Stockett, Kemper, Helder, Cervi-Skinner, King, and May all lined up for a fast 3200m at the end of the cross season.
Someone should definitely try to organize that, at least with the runners from the Treasure Valley area(might be unrealistic to get the CDA guys to come down for this). A lineup of maybe Heemeyer, Ringert, Stadtlander, Stockett, Lucas, Kemper, Helder, Anttonen, Goss, Ihmels, Sheesley, Tuft, Orton, and Blaser would be a realistic and fun lineup of the best 3200/5k guys from the Valley.
With regionals and nationals there really isn’t a great time to do it and be at their best for XC. It makes more sense to try and get them all together for indoor, IMO.
The meet they do at the huge indoor track at the Olympic oval in Kearns seems like a good place to go for a fast indoor time against top Utah runners.

Would be awesome to see if Heemeyer could get another sub 9 with competition (and maybe drag a guy or two with him??) but I don't think the Rocky guys do indoor track, so that would eliminate Heemeyer, Lucas, and Tuft.
Still would be great competition with the other guys, but a sub 9 would be unlikely.
Time for districts this week. CDA should sweep their meet without much problem. Rocky and Boise will go 1-2 and 2-1 for the Varsity races in each gender.
I imagine the girls will look something like this:
Boise - 30
Rocky - 65
Eagle/Timberline - 90
Other Eagle Timberline - 110
Owyhee? - 150+
Boys will probably go:
Rocky - 25-35
Boise - 50-60
Eagle/Timberline/Centennial/MountainView - 100-200 each
In 5A boys, Standtlander v Heemeyer and Rocky v Boise will provide some great state previews as long as they run like winning the conference meet matters. In 4A boys, the individual and team contenders are all in different conferences and won’t be particularly pushed as far as I can tell.
With her national soccer call up is Sammy Smith’s HS XC career over?

Mountain View girls will be 2nd or 3rd.
Eagle has a better speed rating set than Timberline and it’s not actually that close.
Mountain View is the third best boys team. Centennial is all over the place and could be anywhere between 3rd and 7th.
I think Eagle will beat Timberline because they have a low stick and Ihmels could be Timberline’s first guy in 15th or so (Rocky 4, Boise 3, Mt View 2, Eagle 1 or 2, Burdick, Antonnen, Stadtlander, Blaser). I was originally thinking Eagle was the 6th best team but their 9:25/9:47/9:51/10:19/10:11 Hoka makes me think they are probably 4th.

Neither Boise or Rocky really have the luxury of having what looks like a weak showing at districts. Beating Boise handily is probably the best thing Rocky can actually do for themselves if they want to go to NXN.
