I feel like every year a freshman gets slept on. Last year Robert Mechura cracked the top 25. Will Weber was close. One kid that could potentially steal a top 25 spot would be Sean Fries. He was very close to Westerlund at conference

Gosh I hope not. Let us protect the boys. There are bound to be a few freshmen low sticks though.

Any word on whether McMillan will be racing at state? What about Breker?
I have no sources, very hard to get anything out of Wayzata, because they are smart and well run program, but I would bet they are resting his injury until NXR. I would also say Breker is running state, precautionary training this week.

This was Breker finishing 65th as a frosh but even here he talks about injuries being hard.

Per his strava he ran a normal run outside today for 45:00.

“7:30mi on Alter G”
Sounds good. Still not worried about him missing state.

I agree with this statement but you also have to realize the former 7th runner Brady Bushlack was injured mid season. This is the reason why Max is running for Stillwater’s varsity team.
This discussion is similar to the discussion in this thread

That is solid list. I still think a 90% healthy Breker is good enough to win state, but this sure makes things more interesting. Gillis looks like he is timing his peak right. Anyone of the top six could come out the champion on Saturday.
Too hard to predict after the top six as there as so many variables.
Looks like this thread might hit 1000 replies which is rare for any running related thread.

It’s likely gonna get more replies than for hs xc threads of any other states

Guys I can't even come up with my own predictions. I believe Gilles will win again as he is peaking at the right time and Breker doesn't appear to be 100%. I really believe 6 different guys could win on Saturday, even the guys in team scoring will want to beat each other for the team, like Hazma and Casey for example.

Yeah tell me where breker gets access to this equipment in high school lol. Anyway I think breker is also more focused meets later past the regular season like NxN or RunningLane/Footlocker (idk witch ones he’s doing) As in his milesplit interview he said he wanted to peak then. Not that winning state doesn’t matter to him, or that he’s not bummed from the injury, but I think he’s looking more towards later season, so maybe this is a small setback for his 2022 season. Also I heard from a connection to the Armstrong team the he was sick at Sections, this all hear say but thought I’d put it out there.

Those zero gravity treadmills are not difficult to find. I saw one at a training facility for youth / high school kids in MN just last night.

Southwest barely misses out on state and returns 187, 169, 169, 147, 107. They will definitely need a fifth for next year if they want to secure their spot at state and do well there
Minneapolis Southwest also has junior Chase Litman who beat Meyer and Ueland (2 SW varsity XC guys) in the 1600 here
He’s a soccer player but isn’t even varsity for it. Could have easily made varsity for XC.
Any plans on him switching? Could be a good #5 for next year
Or he can do both soccer and XC in the fall like Obsa Ali did in 2012 (got 2nd at state / top 10 at NXN that year)
Or Linaes Whiting from Bemidji (did soccer, XC and Football in high school at the same time in 2014-2017)
A 5th at 18:25 doesn’t get a team very far, other than going to state

I mean if a high school can get a 60,000$ Treadmill, then good for them 🙌

I don't think there's a single school in MN with an alter-G, but there are some places (PTs and performance centers) where you can pay to run on one (or it can be included in a PT plan). On a somewhat related note, there's also a rollerski treadmill that you can ski on for $75/hour. Crazy world we're living in.

Is 8th grader Henry Ueland from Washburn related to Gus Ueland from Southwest?If so, why does he run for Washburn? Or is he planning to go to Southwest next year?00

Minneapolis Roosevelt used to be very good back in the day but now they have trouble being even close to making state.
Minneapolis South used to be really good too. Check this out…29 points!

Southwest ran as an incomplete team in 2014, but now it’s finding its way to be really good again
