re: BMeylan

Sounds like Fayetteville-Manlius, Loudon Valley and North Central were all about the same size (around 1300-1500 in total), though FM also has middle schoolers they can draw from while the others don't.

I can't think of any smaller schools to win. CBA is a boys-only private school that is somewhere around 1k I think (so, comparable enrollment would be about 2k). York, Neuqua Valley and Arcadia are big schools. Gig Harbor and Boerne Champion are bigger than FM/LV/NC (around 1700 for their 4 year total). Coatesville was already mentioned at over 2k, and I think Saratoga Springs is around that size as well.

What about Hilton? They might be about the same size as FM/LV/NC as well.

Boerne Champion (boys) from TX won in 2009.

That year, enrollment was 1530? Although years after they averaged around 1200ish.

re: Oh?

Anyone notice that only girls teams from schools under 1000 enrollment ever get to NXN? Never a boys team that small.

Trinity Prep is private, but the boys made it to NXN in 2015. Co-ed 9-12 enrollment of between 450-500.

Private schools don't count in these discussions.

For boys, Potosi's enrollment was about 750 ish when they qualified.

Not sure about smallest winner though.

Willmar girls team made it to NXN several times and done well. Placed 5th in 2016.

Their boys team hasn’t been too shabby either. They qualified for NXN in 2005 and 2006.

Enrollment is 1265.

Coached by the father of the Wayzata boys head coach.

What is the smallest school to ever win NXN? Has any true “small school” actuallly won nationals or did very well? Or is it always the big top classification schools making it & winning it?
Also: Check back in 8 months and we will have a new record for smallest school winning it all( Boys' side, since FM will win for girls again). Just my prediction, hopefully will bump thread in December.

This did happened in 2014 actually

re: BigDance

None that I know of. When a team with a thousand or less students win then that coach will be crowned GOAT. It’s not hard to take a ton of kids, throw hard training at them, and see what sticks. But successful programs that struggle with numbers is a whole different level of superior coaching.

We got a Crater shill on the board again. It’s easy to be good when you’re running 100 miles a week in high school.

re: Floppy Flamingo Penis

Crater will be insane this year. They should get an at-large berth for NXN if they don’t autoqualify.

They have a solid 1-2 in Gorze and Tostenson

What is more amazing about FM is that they rarely have had more than 20 boys or girls on their teams….. less this year

Aris’s training is really hard so a lot of people quit or choose to never join the team

1530 isn’t small compared to some other schools mentioned in this thread
