I know some of you will tell me to go back to Dyestat, but I am curious what you think. The people at NTN have decided that even though Smoky Hill was ranked #2 in the Southwest region without Katelyn Kaltenbach (and getting an initial invitation to compete at NTN), they dropped Smoky Hill to #3 now that she is healthy and running. South Tahoe (NV) jumped to #2 in front of them, even though with KK, Smoky Hill could probably put their top 3 in front of ST's 1st. SH's #4 ran 18:37 at 6000 feet, and their #5 has run 19:07. SH is undefeated in their state without KK, and placed 3rd at Great American without her as well. NTN is supposed to favor good teams who run well late in the season, and who travel to out-of-state meets. SH took care of business without Katelyn, get her back, and DROP in the rankings. Doesn't this seem a little odd? Smoky Hill has 3 girls under 18:00, and probably with KK, is the only team that can even look decent against Saratoga (although I realize SH won't be beating them).
