They won't see Eagle Island at all before NXR, the State meet this year is in Pocatello.

Does anyone know the reason why? It strikes me as not a wise move to skip a large meet that also gives experience on the NXR course.

Because they’ve got top 2 at NXR in the bag….it’s easy to qualify to NXN

Not sure if this has been covered yet, but in the 5A 3200m from state, 6 of the 7 top finishers (excluding Tyler Sainsbury) were non-seniors.
Not only is XC going to be more competitive than ever, but track (at least for distance) probably will be too.

Suprises? Mine are Centennial at 5 and Timberline at 9 on the boys, and Timberline over Highland and Rocky on the girls, as well as Mountain View being that low.20 -
Timberline makes sense with the inclusion of freshmen Ruby Ihmels

Podcast on Northwest XCFor the boys, says CDA should be one of the top 2, names Rocky as the next tier, says that they have a lot of depth but a lot of that depth is too far back to really help. Doesn't name Boise as a dark horse on the boys. Didn't get a chance to get to the girls.

I've listened to the other podcasts and they seem to like depth more than most people do.
Don't necessarily blame them, but don't completely agree

With Luke Athay back, depending on his fitness, Idaho Falls would be in that next tier too. They have a solid 1-4 without him

I ran the Steens 5k a few years back. It’s very uphill and isn’t a great indicator of anything other than who is a pretty good climber. Also, if you don’t get out fast you can get buried and the leaders can get way ahead of you early.

Landon Heemeyer is #2 nationally in these rankings

That’s just the fastest returning times. No legit publication would put him above Simmons

Rocky ran a time trial yesterday. A few of their boys posted about it although none of them posted an actual GPS readout which always makes me a little skeptical if the distance was actually right. I see that one boy ran 7:46 for 1.5. He has a 5:04 1600 PR and ran 11:00 in the 3200. Either he got a ton better or the course is probably a little short. It was also 103 out, so I’d be really shocked if someone had that big of a day. 7:46 in 103 is worth 7:30 or faster. I don’t think a guy is running faster than his 1600 PR by 6 seconds a mile on a cross country course once the heat is factored in. It will be interesting to see how they look at Bogus.

It was a legit 1.5 mile loop through Eagle Island. They don't race in watches. That kid popped off!

Did any new impact transfers come in to Rocky Mountain like Hill did last year?
