Three of the races are tomorrow, but I don't find a time schedule on their site.

Aha, have to click on the regions down below, then each of them has a menu at the right.

Slightly off topic: Have there always been this number of sub-17 girls in the country, or had it dramatically increased in the past 3-5 years?
now that we've seen 3/4 of the regionals, any predicitons?

What browser are you using, that might affect things. I tried this with Firefox: I got this from pasting in to Excel first so that I could get the time and pace columns, which are fixed size, before the variable-length name. I get something similar just pasting from the results, however.

Alright. I'll kick off the predictions....
Here are my predictions for the boys race. Keep in mind that I predicted Grant Fisher to win last year prior to his explosion onto the national scene.( I also predicted Grant would run a sub 4 minute mile last outdoor track season, so you win some and lose some)
1. Andrew Hunter VA 14:52
2. Grant Fisher MI 14:54
3. Matthew Maton OR 14:59
4. Alex Ostberg CT 15:03
5. John Dressel WA 15:05
6. Phillip Rocha CA 15:07
7. Trevor Reinhart CA 15:08
8. Jesse Reiser IL 15:09
9, Austin Tamagno CA 15:11
10, Elijah Armstrong ID 15:13
So for now I have 6 West boys in the top 10. I expect the West to be the strongest and deepest region obviously, but the midwest shouldn't be far behind placing several runners in the 10-20 range like: McNutt, Veatch, Pollard, Snider and Hacker. I think the Northeast and the South will be very weak compared to the other two regions.
That being said, each region has a stud that could be the winner. Fisher in the Midwest, Ostberg in the NE, Hunter in the South and a slew of guys in the west. I don't know if Phillip Rocha will run the FL West qualifier but I included him in here because I'm pretty sure that his Arcadia team has been decimated since the firing of their great coach and I don't expect him to compete at NXN.
Having someone beat Fisher is a huge surprise, but I just have a feeling it will happen this year. He can't win every race all the time.....(can he?). Anyway if anyone else saw Andrew Hunter demolish a loaded 3K field at the Penn Relays last year and since started following this kid, you know he's for real. I'm betting that Hunter is the next back to back Foot Locker Champ not Fisher.
What do the rest of you guys have happening?

Undoubtedly, someone in your list will be the winner of FL.
I would reverse your top two and have Grant Fisher on top. The kid proves himself in every race he runs that he is a championship runner. He does this in such a way that is seldom seen by a male high school runner. He just cruised through FL Midwest. In very slippery conditions, to win by 9 or 10 seconds against a very strong field, by just making a move in the last 800 m. When he crossed the line it looked very controlled. He convincingly wins every championship race he has been in and there is no convincing me otherwise. Grant Fisher will win FL Nationals in two weeks.
FL Nationals 2014 will be epic. This senior class along with some juniors is one of the best to come along in many years.

I like your Andrew Hunter dark horse pick. I think he's definitely in the mix for top 3 and the top spot, but I wouldn't view it as a failure for him if he gets 8th or worse. It's such a strong class and he improves so much that he'll be in the top spot very soon, and with his parents coaching him smartly, he's gonna be a beast in college.
I'm going to go with a dark horse as well, whom other posters have written off. Conner Mantz missed a few weeks of running, but he's been cross training like a madman, and has started running again recently. He's come back quickly, and he will be in shape at Footlocker West to qualify. He was having the best season of anyone when he got injured, and he's been to Footlocker twice--and been All-American twice--so he knows the course very well and knows what he needs to do to win. Part of my pick is probably biased--Mantz just seems like a good kid and I feel bad his season was almost derailed--but I really do think he has a chance to shock the world. His 2 mile is faster than anyone but Hunter and Fisher, I believe, and he's much better the longer the distance.
