When Will NXN Stop Sending Sub-Par Teams From Weak Regions? 7 CA Teams In Top 13

I can tell you from what I know, that The Woodlands is looking incredibly strong this upcoming XC season. Might be a bit of a wild prediction this early on, but it's no fun if we don't hype the season up, so here's to the best Woodland's squad ever!

Either way, don't be surprise if they're the top team in Texas this year. On the other hand, winning state and cursing out at NXN regionals seems to be a recent, on-going curse.

The Woodlands is looking to be the best team in the South region, and maybe podium at NXN. The second spot at NXR will go to either Southlake Carroll (who is going for the 10th NXN qualification in a row) or El Paso Eastwood (who won NXR last year and did not graduate real heavy).

Next year the California region will be super stacked on the boys side.

Bellarmine College Prep, Great Oak, Dana Hills, Newbury Park, and Jesuit

All of those teams listed above would finish in the top half of teams at NXN. As it is the 3 going could end up in the top-5.

CA boys teams go 1-2-8 this year.

What would the next team have been if they'd taken one more? Jesuit?

Imagine how much more stacked the state would be if O’Brien still coached at Arcadia

I guess this is a good thing about RunningLane nationals. Lots of CA and SW teams in the top race

I thought for a second we were talking about the Olympics. What are those US guys doing in the 5K, 10K and marathon?

Maybe if NXN is cancelled and RL happens again, could maybe be a good thing

Oakland would have crushed the New York region

We are getting to the point where 7 Southwest teams will be in the top 13 soon

Oakdale* (CA)

Yeah now it’s southwests problem to fix this mess. they are the ones that are going to get screwed over now.

Oakdale’s 5 would’ve been in the bottom 20 runners at NXN on his best day lmao. Granada couldn’t beat Corning, Oakdale would’ve even lost to St. Anthony’s.

Bruh, anyone can beat the New York region, I know it was created because New York teams are good because they can have middle schoolers on their teams, but New York definitely shouldn't have their own region (especially on the boys side).

oakdale’s 5th man ran 16:28 at woodward park and 16:30 on the super muddy Runninglane course, definitely not gonna be great at nxn but if u take into account that daley, alsaidi, and cavanaugh were the best 1-2-3 in Ca besides newbury park, i think new york teams are getting crapped on

Oh, how things have changed since then. Wow

Oh, how much CA has gone downhill
