Official Iowa HS XC 2023 Thread

Dowling would have qualified last year had their guy not lost his shoe.

Little Hawkeye conference championships

Gilbert won Heartland and Pella beat some good teams here.

Districts are messed. Some have 2 and some have 4 ranked teams. And they are sending teams to opposite geographical sites actually creating the problem. They forgot to look at updated rankings.

Wow. Dowling loses to Ankeny.

By 2 points. Dowling’s regular #3 had an off race.

Ankeny’s top 5 ran great. 4 of those guys are coming back next year too.

When was the last time Dowling didn’t win conference?

At least 10 years. And their performance last week was the best ever.

Such an up and down year for Dowling. They lost big to Cedar Falls. they lost to Gilbert. they lost Ankeny. But they finished 2nd at Griak and put 5 under 16 on the state course. Dont bet against them at state or NXR.

Cedar Falls boys dominated

Cedar Falls moved to the front somewhere after the mile mark. Merrick looked like he was on cruise control and in the second half of the race he ran by and made some comments to spectators near me with a big smile on his face.

Kennedy is undefeated. They must be the favorite now.

Johnston girls remain tops but Valley is close amd Hempstead has the girls to put two top 5 which would be hard to beat. PV peaked mid-season.

They’re running incredibly well and seem to have as good a chance as anyone…except Dowling I think, if they have a good day. The one concern with Kennedy is they’re much more of a 5 man team than the other contenders, so if one kid underperforms there goes their chances.

It’s exciting that there are 3-4 teams who it’s not hard to see winning (Dowling, CF, CRK, Ankeny).

No one asked for it but here's a rough idea of what to look for this Wednesday.
