What the heck happened here?! Two evenly matched midwest teams, both state champs, closely ranked throughout the season in national polls, york beat columbus north 140-146 at mw regionals, then at nxn columbus n. gets third, york 14th outscore them 165- 326. Thoughts, observations?
Three things...
First, stop being a stooge and trying to stir up hate for York.
Two, York had a miserable race at NXN.
Three, Columbus North ran a great race and finished on the podium. Kudos to them.
NXN is a cool event, but the course blows. This should get more press.
Course rules. Don't be such a wuss.
Columbus North had a much better race at NXN than at the Midwest Regional.
York had a much worse race at NXN than at the Midwest Regional.
It's the same course for everyone.
Sheesh, my favorite football team lost because their field is 120 yds long, their opponents was 100.
Come on, Illini. Props to Columbus North.
Don't be bitchy just because York lost to a better team this year. York is historically great, so is CNXC.
You sound like Yankee fans, you expect to win every year. When a better team wins you are still better, you had a bad race and the other team set a PR!
Try and be classy, congratulate the opponent.
Being a former IL HS runner and following the season, York clearly had one of their weaker teams in the past few years. They scored 162ish points at State which is the most points scored ever for a winning team in the IHSA State Championships.
Jack Driggs was a good front runner for them, but their pack behind him was not as good as the past few seasons (I believe there were a good number of Soph's and Jr's). Still obviously a good team and a great program, but this is about as much of a "rebuilding" season you'll see from York. 14th in the nation is still impressive.
Don't know much about Columbus North, but props to them for a stellar finish.
