Can they make it
Can they make it
I think at this point it’s really hard to do.
seems like Farragut TN, Creekside FL and Belen Jesuit Prep FL (although they got no seniors. It’s only gonna help them for next year if they make it this year) are in contention.
We haven’t seen full-strength McCallie TN yet
I think they are not ready for this, venge io they need to practice more to be more skilled and strong.
Wando has a nice freshman class though. 2 on varsity and more freshmen and an 8th grader on top JV.
Weddington seems to have a much better freshman class though.
Belen Jesuit Prep has young studs come in every year.
You probably don't want to use times from the Warrior Invitational to boost your argument.
Doesnt matter either way, look at their top 5 at southern showcase.
14:54 (4th)
15:04 (6th)
16:01
16:20
16:25
Check out the entries at Great America XC Festival….unlikely
How does that have anything to do with this? They just finished 5th at Southern Showcase and were the first team to have 2 cross the line?
They finished as the 4th SE team in the southern showcase and only 2 get to go to NXN. An at-large berth is not very likely.
McCallie tn is racing this weekend and based on entries list they seem strong and deep and could make a case that they should be up there fighting for an NXN spot. McCallie also got a solid transfer just like some of those other top SE teams did.
Right now, an NXN berth is looking to go to Farragut and Belen Jesuit based on what we saw.
I would like to see creekside fl race against Belen. Creekside seems to be declining after the first meet
Add 45 sec to 1:00 min to all those Warrior XC times. The course is only 2.99 miles.
Ya and the top 5 didn’t race at Warrior. Your point?
I think the point is, one poster was listing some very impressive times for their 9th graders from the Warrior meet.
You are correct, their top 5 ran another meet and ran very well. They are really strong 1-5 and there is not doubting that.
If Wando tightens up the 3-5 gap they might actually have a chance to qualify
Wando got snubbed from these Southeast rankings
First race in over a month
The only weakness seems to be at #5. Needs to close the gap for this team to have a chance to qualify
What were Wando’s 3-5 doing in this race? Tempoing?
I’m an athlete on wando and our coach told us just to qualify, 3-5 were told to just run easy and to run 16:50 same thing for 1-2 they were told just to go 1st and 2nd
