Here’s my attempt at a top 20 prediction for D1 boys. I’m sure I’m underrating some and overrating others, it’s just the best I could do. I added the times I think they’d run in decent conditions. Let’s say the same conditions as last year. It’s sort of just a way of showing how good I think each one is. If the conditions are poor those predictions are meaningless obviously.

Not too bad, but as you said... you've elevated a few and neglected others. Weston Day and Andrew Bracken were 4th and 5th in their conference, by a fair margin (behind Gabelman, Smith, and Miller). And neither could hang with the 2nd group behind Ackley at Pickerington. 13 and 18 seem pretty high for them.
Also... the other Mason boys and some Massilon studs should crack the top 20 ad well - Laio, Reed, etc.
Interesting the coaches’ poll has Jerome above Davidson. Most of the pundits here think Coffman ranks above Jerome and Davidson above them both? I’m curious to hear what you all think about this.
Ah, thanks. New to following high school and had missed that. I’ll have three kids at Davidson, one who might run, so I’m starting to pay attention to how the local schools are doing. Appreciate the help.

With the forecast for Gusty Wind & Rain, how does this change race strategies and the individual order? Who is stronger/grinder to handle the conditions vs the faster guys who need rhythm and ideal conditions?

The forecast I saw did have winds up to 20 mph but the forecasted rain is only .03" and the highest percentage of that is in the evening. Forecasted temps are a bit high in the 70° to 75° range. I honestly can't remember a fall that has been this warm and dry.
It is interesting that it will be 70+ degrees for XC State Meet...but yes very windy..However, it is 100x better than below 45 degrees/cold WITH wind and/or rain and snow. I think with it being cloudy and 70 degrees, the wind will not be as bad..of course 20MPH will still affect those racing but its warmer wind so I feel as if it is much better than 20MPH wind when its cold out, and will not hinder perfromances as much if it were colder with the same wind.
Also, it is the State Meet, so I think now we will see who rises more with the variables of it being warmer and very windy. If it were perfect weather conditions, then a lot less variables, meaning much more predictable results and performances. Now we see truly the best of the best mentally and physically
It doesn’t matter though since he likely wouldn’t be scoring if he returned
It also doesn't matter because they've been winning all year without him.
I wonder if they would have made NXN with him and Xu at a 100%. It would still be hard to get top 4 at NXR.
top 4 teams in the MW:
Carmel (beat all MW teams at Niketown)
Plainfield South - 9:23 AVERAGE at Hoka
Zionsville - almost beat Carmel at state
Center Grove - slow start to the season but they seem to be getting closer and closer to where preseason rankers thought they would be with Ty Garrett on the team

It’s really not “at Hoka.” That is 2 miles on a track and it is self-reported. I’m not implying that schools fudge the times, I’m just stating that it isn’t XC.
Does anyone know what happened to Xu at Troy? Is he going to good on Saturday?
