If Bolles makes NXN don’t be surprised. They were very deep last year and will be this year. They made NXN in 2017 and 2018.
This team will probably have 5 seniors in their top 7. Just like in 2018.
They won 2A last year and return 4 guys from that squad, and also a 9:33 and a 4:25 guy who weren’t on varsity last year.
And a 2 more sub-16:50 incoming juniors.
And 2 incoming sophs who ran a 10:12 and 10:16.Yeah I don’t see Bolles going this year, even with all of their seniors back. They still aren’t even the second best team in FL this year.
At this point it’s looking to be a 2-team race at NXR between Farragut and Belen (based on speed ratings and head to head matchups).
McCallie could still challenge them. Speed ratings don’t say so, but we just need to see how they do head to head against Farragut. And how Belen does against Creekside.
Seems like Farragut and Belen are similar at this point. Farragut is a little better. The southern showcase result tells us so.00 -
If Brentwood finds a 5th they could take down Farragut and go to. Quite possibly that Brentwood could qualify 3 times in a row. Look at their sophomore class and the have a really good freshman. It would be cool to see both Farragut and Brentwood go. Belen has no seniors.
I think they might have a really good 8th grader but I’m not sure how he will stack up with those guys in 2 years.00 -

Brod(e)y Hasty, and Chapman would be proud. It would be cool to see Brodey visit NXN and hang out with the other Brody on the team

This is what happens when a school goes for the quick fix by recruiting runners from around the state and from around the country rather than developing the runners they already have at their school . . . very few coaches in Florida will have any sympathy for schools like IMG, Montverde Academy, and Cambridge Christian when their programs fall apart after a few years -- maybe if the coaches at those schools actually put in the time and the effort to coach up the runners already on their teams instead of "recruiting" in a stud or two every year they would do better in the long term.
Wow IMG Academy has only 7 girls on the team. 5 seniors. At least they still have Haynes. And a fine #2 who is a junior and is much improved from last year.Their boys team got a nice 1-2 as well

What the top teams need to do to make NXN:
Brentwood - got a strong 1/2. If their 5th gets close their 3rd and 4th they should be able to win the region.
Belen Jesuit Prep - their #1 needs to finish as close to the front as possible and their 2-7 pack needs to tighten up.
Farragut - Coggin needs to finish as close to the front as possible, and they need a 4th and 5th to finish close to their third. The fact that they beat Belen and Brentwood at the Southern Showcase, when they all raced head to head, really shows that they are capable of winning this region, even though right now, Belen and Brentwood seem better when looking at the recent speed ratings.Wando SC - this is a darkhorse team. their 1/2 (both have 180+ speed ratings and were able to take down Keegan Smith) need to keep doing what they are doing, but their 4/5 need to finish close to their 3rd
McCallie was #2 on TullyRunners behind Belen, but they only have 2 guys above 180 in the speed ratings
