We tell you what to expect at this weekend's Nike Cross Nationals - the high school national champs for cross country.

FM has won 11 of the last 12 girls national HS xc titles, but that streak should end on Saturday in Portland.

Brie Oakley may be America's newest female distance star.

American distance fans, it’s time to meet Brie Oakley. Oakley, who only started running last year, posted the top Tully Runners speed rating in six years at the Colorado state meet (32 secs faster than Katie Rainsbergerran in ’15) but Murphy hasn’t lost all fall and has killer track speed. Team-wise, F-M are the favorites but will need all five scorers to run well as there’s a big gap to #6.

Teamwise, #1 Great Oak enters as the favorite after putting up the lowest score at the California state meet in 9 years. Individually, Oregon recruit Austin Tamagno (5th FL in '14) is the favorite on the boys side but the sloppy conditions might mean New Yorker Ben Petrella is your winner. No Californian boy has ever won NXN. Can Tamagno overcome the "California curse"?

We recap the week that was and talk about Sarah Disanza rocking it, Jeff Eggleston going for it, Paula Radcliffe improving, Patrick Makau returning and investigate whether Bill Aris is the greatest high school coach ever? 

The F-M girls were upset last year to snap their streak of seven straight NXN titles but they're back on top in 2014 and had some company on the podium; the F-M boys, runners up in 2004 and 2010, broke through to win their first NXN title. Individually, Tanner Anderson (15:11) and Allie Ostrander (17:19) got the win at Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland. Pretty amazing one high school could have the best boys and girls teams in the country.

Bill Aris' famed F-M has seven women's titles but has never claimed the men's crown; can the upstate New York school become the first to sweep both titles? North Central (WA)'s Tanner Anderson is the favorite in the boys' race after a 14:32 CR at the Washington state meet; Fiona O'Keeffe (Davis CA) looks to be the top girl in the field.
