I'll admit to being quite MN biased, but hot take: Emily Covert wins NXN in a brutal final 800 meters to cap off an undefeated season. Though the at large individuals haven't been announced, Covert is the only runner who I can see beating Tuohy right now. And she has to be the favorite at Foot Locker too.
Tuohy will NOT win NXN

ok bet?
-
Tuohy will lead the field by at least 10 seconds at the mile, and as usual the race for first will be over there
-
Covert has won every race looking like she just finished a jog but Touhy will still win by 30 seconds.
The open question is who gets second. Covert or Masciarelli.
And which of the two wins Footlocker.
Covert is a good bet for that one. -

I thought Masciarelli is only doing Footlocker, not NXN? -
Lol - your naivety is adorable.
-
Neither Covert nor Masciarelli will be at NXN. I assume both declined. Can't say I blame them, who would not jump at the opportunity to fly back and forth across the country, to run in a race on a sloppy course in the rain 1 week ahead of the FL race which both think they can win?????

Take it from The Hounddog, there is no way in he11 that is happening , -
So I see it is official that Masciarelli declined her invitation.
Covert won NXR Heartland and said she was running both championships in her post-FLMW interview.
Have you heard something different since? -
Congratulations on being named 2018 Troll of the Year!

Just looked over Emily's stats as I don't know anything about her. She seems to be in about 16:5X shape for NXN course (if it runs as fast as last year's.)
It all depends on how bad of an injury Katelyn sustained. A few weeks ago, she would have been in 16:20s shape for NXN (or faster, who knows how much more she can push it.) Now, it's anyone's guess.
Note: Emily did bomb on the course last year, dunno if she was injured or sick or she just had a bad day. -
What is it going to take to get people to stop with this dumbassery?
-
The top 3 from FL NE all declined. Covert was not invited for some reason.

Covert won NXR Heartland so she doesn't need an invite. I haven't heard anything suggesting she won't be running NXN. -

She had the flu last year. -

That's why it's a hot take! It's not like there's absolutely no chance of this happening, especially after Tuohy's minor knee setback -
My oversight on Covert winning Heartland............
-
You Sir, are a simpleton, even by the exceedingly low standards of the State of Minnesota. I can't wait to read your post next Sunday that she decided to tempo.
-
There have been some very good runners who competed at Griak trough the years and she broke the record this year. I am betting on her winning both championships keeping Footlocker as the real national championship.
