Not trying to stir the pot, but am curious to know how COVID impacted entries. We’re any of the top teams and individuals sitting this race out due to COVID concerns? Are any contending teams missing a key runner because their family has concerns and decided not to travel?
I’m not sure if I we should be commending teams for doing what it takes to give kids a chance to compete or if we should be criticizing teams for taking serious health risks by traveling all over the country to run a race.
This should be great....Terre Haute is a legit xc course....That finishing stretch up hill has caught many a good runner....Always interesting to see how non Midwestern teams will do
Sydney Thorvaldson wins easily. She is the best Distance runner in the country, and I wish Brown and Hutchins were there so she could prove it!
This meet is being held due to Covid which cancelled NXN and Footlocker. So to answer your question, every team and individual is attending only because of Covid. I counted 30 states represented. The course would be empty this weekend in a normal year. That blows your mind. The top teams are running and many top individuals are running.
Women's elite race underway. Live video:
Vanderlende (2019 grad) 3rd, Schmitt (Naperville North Grad) 6th.
Emma Wilson is also a 2019 HS grad and college soph. Impressive run.
1 - 20:17.3 - Amy-Eloise Neale (Reebok)
2 - 20:18.7 - Emma Wilson (Huntington)
3 - 20:28.8 - Ericka Vanderlende (Michigan)

Entire NE is excluded from the meet which I hear sometimes has a few decent kids and once in a blue moon a fair team or two (especially NY)
Wouldn't the course have been used for NXN Mid west this weekend in past years?
MASON FERLIC FTW!!!!!!!
Wow, Chelimo looked ODD out there today!

Yes, this is the normal NXN MW Regional weekend. How is the NE excluded from the meet?? They were more than welcome to enter the meet if they wanted.

At least he pipped Morgan Beadlescombe.
I watched the races today and video quality was excellent. Thanks to the sponsors for making this available for fans to watch for FREE!
