Any NEPSTA XC kids out there?

hey guys any preseason predictions for xc this year?

here's what i think:

i know middlesex will dominate the ISL and NEPSTA D3 as the return their 2-6 from last year, and they have Garret O'toole, who was one of the best milers in the country last year.

RL will also have a strong team this if they can keep their guys healthy this year, as they return the NEPSTA d2 runner up joey mullen along with 6 of their top 7 from last year. They were 3rd last year at NEPSTA D2 so I think they have a shot at winning this year.

I don't know anything about NEPSTA D1.

So whatcha think?

NMH looks good up front, but needs to fill 4-5 or PAE will win with its depth like it did in '12

Excited to see results from the first meets next weekend. NMH could be pretty good with colt, hussein, and estevan

rumor has it garret o'toole is out for 6 weeks with a stress fracture...

It seems like Choate might have a good squad. They placed a few top kids in the New Haven Road Race. Any results from their invitational this weekend to post?

I agree, watch out for Choate. Sleeper city.

Choate has only one new kid.

Crushed by PEA at their invite

Quaroni looked great today at Canterbury. As does most of Hotchkiss.

Canterbury

"though five of the team's top ten--including the fastest two--didn't compete, the Wild Boars snared second place in the CT River Valley Invitational"

Anyone got any other results from the weekend. NMH maybe? Looks like top teams will be pea, nmh, and hotchkiss
