Right. How are Cheyenne Mountain and Thompson Valley ranked but Valor isn't? Valor is better on paper and whacked CM at the Stampede.

And why is Mountain View still above Taylorsville? I get that it was one race but borderwars wasn't even remotely close.

Who does these rankings?

Fair enough, but RC was without their #2 at Stampede.

Herriman is going for 5 all-Americans at NXN. Has this ever happened before?

No shot they pull that off. Going from 0 last year to 5 this year would be ridiculous Soles has rarely been able to get top sticks at the level needed to All American if you're going by top 20 or top 25. Even with top 40, he would have only had 2 last year.

He's better at getting (whether intentional or not) all of his guys in very similar shape year after year and then they pack run you to death. If he manages to get a pack of 5+ guys running sub 15:30 at NXN, he will be the undisputed best coach ever.

Yeah 5 all Americans would likely mean 5 guys in the top 10-15 in the Southwest

I don't see the state college pa boys ranked but they can qualify for nxn for sure.

Liberty bell was also the more important race.

Sure, we will let you to continue to believe that.

Both NXN and State (Colorado) courses have hills and terrain. Liberty Bell is running downhill on a sidewalk. Perhaps that is why a lot of the better teams are choosing not to run it.

On the girl’s side I think 5 of the top 6 teams in the nation ran it, so I think there was adequate competition there.
