No denying this is a very weak NY year. You should check out the results from 2019 and prior though. NXRNY and NXRNE are run on the same course back to back. NY boys and girls in every single year from 2010-2019 always places one and typically places both of their teams in front of both NE teams. Your statement would actually only be accurate if you described this year as the one off. If the NE and NY combined, you would only rarely see a team outside of NY qualify, and the majority of the time would have a minimum of one NY team qualifying for the boys.
