Official 2023 Indiana (a.k.a. Most Slept on State in the USA) HS XC Thread

Just stick to the 3 people that post things on Indiana Runner. Does Indiana even have any #1 National ranked athletes?

Seems that Carmel and Noblesville both have a good shot at the boys state team title.

Carmel returners
8:54
9:27
9:33
9:38
9:38
9:47 (as a freshman)
9:52 (as a freshman)
9:59

Noblesville returners
9:20
9:27
9:31
9:32
9:44
10:05 (but he scored for the team at state last year)
10:12
10:14 (as a freshman)

Can Brebeuf Jesuit Prep qualify for state?
They return the following 1600 times.
Todd - 12 - 4:08
Lesnet - 10 - 4:46
Williams - 12 - 4:54
Younger Burrell - 11 - 4:54
Harrott - 10 - 4:57. Not sure if he is doing XC. No XC results for him
Eigenbrod - 12 - 4:58 / 17:35 5k
Skinner - 11 - 5:13 / 10:54 3200 / 17:41 5k
Villavicencio - 11 - 17:53 5k
Duffer - 10 - 5:05 1600

indiana has lots of fast 3200 runners. if they are on here, don't make the mistake of missing out on Arcadia 2024. considering indiana is hot and windy idk more Indiana runners never visit to take their shot at the state record.

I think the top individuals (in no particular order) will be:
Anthony Provenzano
Martin Barco
Ryan Rheam
Will Conway
Cameron Todd
All of them have broken 9 minutes in the 3200 except for Barco

they all broke 9 including martin barco, they should all be gunning for state records next year

Love that passive-aggressiveness saltiness, Bob! That said, I do agree that Indianarunner is dominated by just a few posters and is basically a hollow shell of the once great site that it was.

In regards to your second complaint, we may not have any National #1 ranked athletes but we do have the following:

Nicki Southerland - National ranked #2 junior, 800m (girls)
Caleb Winders - National ranked #2 freshman, 800m (boys)
Bloomington North - National ranked #3 team, 4x800m Relay (boys - 3 non-seniors)
Zionsville - National ranked #5 team, 4x800m Relay (boys - 2 non-seniors)

Agreed on both of these teams being favories. I think Noblesville could be pretty good this year too and push for Carmel for the title. I didn't realize their times were that good across the board though. Thanks for including them.

You can never count out Brebeuf, especially since Todd will basically get them 1 point at every meet and they're essentially only scoring 4...that said, based on those times, it looks like there might be a pretty big gap to try to fill. Can someone step up? We'll have to wait and see.

How tough is their new tournament path? That will have a big impact on their chances at qualifying, too. I know that the Shelbyville semistate got split up, but can't recall who all goes where.

For a while, the problem with Indiana kids going to Arcadia was based on IHSAA restrictions and regulations. However, Conway was out there this year, so maybe it's okay now? And I agree that there is a lot of talent coming back and hopefully they will all be chasing records next year.

Good list. Based on the results of the State Track meet, those guys look like strong candidates to battle for the individual win and all have a great chance finish in the Top 5 at Terre Haute.

I'm also curious to see how some of the underclassmen from the past year or two perform as well now that they are no longer freshmen or sophomores...guys like Quagliaroli, Bauschke, Bontrager, Nolan, and Conroy.

It’s also gonna be a fight between the two teams for an NXN spot.

Downers Grove North from Illinois made it last year, and they could be even better than last year, with 4 varsity returners + another 9:33 guy and a few more sub-10’s.

The other 2 qualifying teams (Hinsdale Central and Plainfield South) both lost most of their varsity so there’s a lot of work cut out for them.

There are also no guarantees for an at-large bid in the Midwest region. And there always seems to be an Illinois team that comes out of nowhere.

I’m sure Carmel will come to NXR with a chip on their shoulder after not qualifying for NXN due to their #3 missing and most of the team coming back.

So zero #1s? Nobody cares about relays. Your top ranks sprints and throwers/pole vault are all sitting out all the nationals because they don't want to compete against the top kids. Your top boys thrower is Awol and avoids any top kids as well as girls high jump, throwers and sprinters.

Quagliaroli will be a key contributor to the Fishers team.
Fishers could be one of the top teams in the state. They did lose most of their varsity last year, but they return:
4:11 (Kim)
4:16 / 9:06 (Quagliaroli)
9:33 / 4:34
4:32 / 9:47
10:04
10:06
10:10

Nobody cares about Fishers. A few will transfer to better programs. The bigger issue is with the lack of a decent track coach. The new sprint coach is a joke. Not very reputable.

I know specifically a distance and a sprinter that aren't running for Fishers next year.

How did the distance kids finish at nationals this past weekend?

Kyle Clark - 4:13

Will Conway - 4:14
