NXR Heartland Predictions 2023

Wayzata and Olathe West autoqualify

Hushagen and Rupe go 1&2

AND Merrick leaves as quickest Iowan! Could have called it days ago!

Iowa schools call a fair catch today?

Machura unleashed his brutal kick again. 14:32 - new course record!!!!!

Spash with the first NXR title. Their 7th man ran a 16:13 which shows depth.

Wayzata takes second! 5th man far back but 16:12 was enough to not let any other team by them

Dowling’s 5th man was way off today.

Not sure what that means, but the whole team needs to show up and cf did not.

Top 3 Heartland finishers are all JUNIORS!

9th and 10th finishers are sophomores

Dunham is a soph. He ran 15:17 today. He was state champ running 15:18.

But not top soph. Step it up. He is falling behind his peers.

Times are fast. Was it a track race on grass?

Yes

Never count against wayzata, iowa goes home devastated

Course in perfect shape. Short-trimmed grass, firm, dry. Weather around 60 and sunny. Great conditions for fast times.

Dowling Catholic’s 5th man was off today, but Wayzata still would have taken second.

What are the chances that Dowling Catholic gets an at large? They beat Wayzata at Griak.

But that’s exactly what also happened last year and they did not get one.

No chance. Heartland is weak compared to other regions.

Short course also by 40 meters

Looking forward to the speed ratings.

Wondering if Mechura will get at least a 200 for his 14:32?

I dunno, it’s the same course year after year. I’ve seen it going back many years now. It’s a well-defined course.
