NXN 2023 Way too early preview: Dawn of a new Era

Legend420 · 2022-12-04T15:26:17-05:00

Newbury park has been the best team for the past 4 years and loudoun valley the 2 years before that. This coming year will be the dawn of a new era. Lets look at who some of the top returning teams would be.Notes: The class I put by each name (FR, SO, JR, SR) refers to the runner's 2023 XC season. [b][i]Southern Oregon (Crater HS, OR)[/i][/b] - 4th at NXN, won state title with 30 points in 5A. This team loses Tyrone Gorze but returns their #2 through #6 runners. As you can see below, they have some absolute studs and guys that all have NXN experience. Won NXR by score of 75-101.JR Josiah Tostenson - Was their #2 guy at NXN as a sophomore, 4:09 full mile as a freshman, state champion at 1500 as freshman/2nd in 3000 behind teammate Tyronze GorzeSR Jeffrey Hellman - #3 guy at NXN. Quote from Hellmann this past track season: "Our team is as close as we can get, and none of us would be here without all of us."JR Tayvon Kitchen - #4 guy at NXN. Dropped his XC PB nearly 2 minutes this season from FR to SO year.SR Shaun Garnica - #5 guy at NXN. Only runs 3k in Oregon - has broken 9 several times as a sophomore.SR Caleb Doddington - #6 guy at NXN. Was their #3 at state behind Gorze and Tostenson. 3rd at state in the 800m as a sophomore with a 1:56 PB.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[i][b]American Fork, UT[/b] - [/i]5th at NXN, UT 6A state title, won NXR over the team that placed 3rd at NXN by score of 113-152. The only runner on their top 7 that doesn't return is their #4. Considering they also have the top individual returner who was 2nd at NXN (Daniel Simmons) - they should absolutely be taken seriously as a contender.SR Daniel Simmons - 2nd overall finisher at NXN in a stacked field, won NXR by over 10 seconds, was a transfer from Idaho where he was the 3200 2Astate champ with a 9:05 as sophomore (won by 20 seconds).SR Chase Pack - #2 guy at NXN, Made huge time improvements from SO to JR year in XC. SR Ben Jaster - #3 guy at NXN, was their #2 guy at running lane championships in 2021, 9:21 3200 as a sophomoreSR Ben Bradshaw - #5 guy at NXN, made a big jump in XC from SO to JR years. Ran 1:58/4:19 as a sophomoreJR Kaden Evans - #6 guy at NXN, after running 5:01/11:25 on the track as a freshman, he dropped over 3 minutes in his XC times and became a regular staple of the team's top 7 as a sophomore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[b][i]Wayzata, MN[/i][/b] - 12th at NXN, return every runner on top 7 except their #5, won NXR by score of 125-167. Their team did not have a great day at NXN and their only senior who finished 4th overall at state and was their top guy, finished as their 5th man at NXN. But considering they are returning everyone else and they have experience, I think Wayzata should be an early contender.SR Daniel McCollor - #1 guy at NXN, dropped a minute off his times from SO to JR yearJR Will Weber - #2 guy at NXN, was 9th overall finisher at state as a sophomore.SR Parker Dietrick - #3 guy at NXN, ran 1:57 800 as a sophomore SR Tyler Kissell - #4 guy at NXN, this season he dropped a minute off his state meet PB and 1:30 off his NXR PB. SR Hayes McMillan - #6 guy at NXN

Maybe #2 or #3, but AA is no way #5 with just 2 runners that operate at the level needed nationally.

re: Too out there

So are American Fork and Herriman the top 2 teams in the nation now?
If so, it will be a lot like 2019 when Newbury Park barely beat Great Oak and both are in the same state

Yep, from a 6th man tiebreaker. One of AF’s top 6 ran JV and won it. He should be back on varsity next meet

two schools right next to each other. both tanked at nxn but still went 1-2. this actually reminds me a lot of newbury park 2019 vs great oak 2019. newbury park had the front runner nico young and great oak had insane depth

Yeah so American Fork is like NP 2019 (they have a front runner Daniel Simmons).

and Herriman is like Great Oak 2019 since Herriman has insane depth like Great Oak did in 2019, and yes, Soles is a coach for both teams

How do Southlake Carroll, Belen Jesuit Prep, Crater, and CBA NJ compare to these?

I guess if you came to woodbridge you will find out how you compare. Herriman, Crater, Southlake Carroll, Ventura, San Clemente. I think Ventura and San Clemente top 5 have all ran under 9:25 for the 3200

re: Top2?

If Herriman and American Fork are this close in regular meets, American Fork will have the edge by having a front runner at NXN. In a race with many fast runners, having a front runner will be a bigger advantage than in less competitive meets.
