I think he gets the mile and 5000. 1500 is maybe a bridge too far.

Nobody is touching Macey this year. She torched the Region 1 course this week, it's the hardest regional course in TX. My kid runs against her all the time. NXN south you have probably 8 quality girls for the top 5 spots.

The problem with NXR South is that they perform mediocre at NXN. South went 3-5-17-23-57 (105).. Northwest went 8-12-13-16-20 (69). Southwest went 1-5-9-24-29 (68). They might as well give more spots to the Northwest with 5th girl ahead of SW 4 and 5.

They need to score the individual regional teams this year! I don't understand why they don't compete as a team, even with only 5 entries each... although I think each region's individual representatives should be part of a full team of 7 individual qualifiers, just like the teams - and scored accordingly against the other region teams.

Macy is good but she had two Bridgeland girls beat her (one in 3200 and one at TDF 5k) as well as a FM girl in the 1600. It's not like she has never lost a race.
I don't think people understand what a 17:10 is at Spring Creek Park. It is the hilliest course in Houston and is a beatdown. It has a greater elevation gain than Region I and is a legit 5k (plenty of GPS verification.) Region I is at altitude and is somewhat hilly, too, but it is short. While I agree that Wingard is the favorite, it isn't totally out of the realm of possibility for Barnes to be with her toward the end.

Tend to agree about Macy. She's great and better on the grass than the track. Barnes is legit though and would be surprised if she finishes lower than 2nd. Regarding NXR, she's run A&M course twice now and won once with a win over Latta. There may be 6-7 top girls but 1-2 of those won't count because they'll qualify with team perhaps. Barnes will go to NXN.

I believe it is Hailey Atwater from West Field (incoming JR) and Teagan Harris from Corner Canyon (incoming SO)
Atwater was Lone Peak’s #4 at the state meet, and Harris didn’t run at the state meet

Thought this was interesting to look at, so I asked AI to score the regions and then also merge those results with the team results. The SW is actually the strongest region by far, considering SW is #1 and the teams in that region would take #4, #6 #8 and #14. These are the results of 2024 NXN when regions are scoerd as teams:
1. Southwest Region – 60
2. Northwest Region – 69
3. Midwest Region – 75
4. Denver – 128
5. South Region – 115
6. Lone Peak – 158
7. Clovis – 178
8. Academy – 178
9. Delmar – 197
10. Heartland Region – 212
11. California Region – 195
12. Bruce Township – 234
13. Trabuco – 233
14. South Fort Collins – 276
15. Northeast Region – 247
16. Wayzata – 290
17. Union County – 302
18. Southeast Region – 281
19. Downers North – 359
20. Raleigh – 421
21. Brentwood – 434
22. Flower Mound – 461
23. New York Region – 364
24. Carmel – 504
25. San Juan Capistrano – 498
26. Clifton Park – 503
27. Meridian – 512
28. Hinesburg – 569
29. Forest Park – 577
30. Johnston – 604 31. Carroll – 644

The South is looking very strong this year. With Macy Wingard who has run 16:30 (short course), Laney Barnes who has competed very well in the state of Texas (she is running against Macy tomorrow), Elin Latta who took a win in Virginia over Paige Sheppard running a new course record of 16:41 (course is long), Gabbie Bishop from Arkansas has had a dominant season so far winning by a long shot, and MAya easterwood who is not to far off Macy. State should be a great determiner.

Beshears hasn’t raced since September. Will she be back for NXR?
