American Fork never has rebuilding years. They just reload. Timo is a great coach. Never expect them to be down.
Niwot and Herriman will be a fun battle next year if everything plays out the way it is expected.
AF was 5th at NXR in 2017 and 10th in 2019. They absolutely have rebuilding years.
In 2016, AF had 3 senior all-Americans. In 2017, the team that took 4th at NXR took 8th at NXN (which silenced the haters that think they should not have been selected as an at-large team).
In 2018, they took second at NXR with 6 seniors. They took 10th in 2019, but I remember listening to Milesplit Live (what they now call OnTheLine) that some of their top guys had breathing problems at NXR.
If he means that Niwot will beat them, that’s a respectable take.
Niwot is extremely deep, and they are stacked at 1-7 and beyond. Last season their 1-14 were extremely good and none of those guys are graduating.
Herriman’s 1-4 look a little better next year than Niwot, but they will need a 5th man to be up with those top 4 to win NXN again. And someone can get sick or injured come NXN, so they might need a 6th and 7th. But, Soles has had guys come out of nowhere, so it wouldn’t be surprising if someone steps up ( a 5th runner at least)
They'll probably get a transfer, they got one last year after placing 3rd at nxn. Even without a transfer, winning would be plausible for Herriman. It'll be close no matter what

They actually won without a transfer in the NXN lineup. They did have a transfer, but he wasn’t part of that lineup and he went to Runninglane and did really well there

Some people step out of nowhere. In 2022, the Tang brothers weren’t even top 10 on the team for most of the meets, but in 2023, they were #2 on the team in some races.
Even though they are losing a lot, they will still finish top 3 in state next year.
Or maybe even top 2. Both in 6A and overall in Utah. They are looking to have a better top 5 than Mountain View, although Mountain View will have more depth beyond that.
