So CBA has the #2 guy and 5 other guys 9:24 or better but is 5th.. makes sense.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a team from Illinois finishes in the top 10. This happened in the last couple of years.
Downers Grove North took 7th and returns 3 scorers, another 9:27 guy, and 4 more sub-10s.

Plainfield North is another one to watch out for.

Coeur D’Alene (ID) will probably be in the top 10 too

Yes I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up in the top 4. But I will say, some people are better at track than XC

The teams yes. The individuals, well Manny Pits has never done well at track, mechura has been beating 2023 #12(Sam Scott) all season so I think he will do well.

Putz has never done well at track?
He just won the 3200, 1600, and 4x800 at the Wisconsin state meet. Not many people have won that many events at the same state track meet the same year.

Juan Gonzalez took 3rd at NXR last year behind Mechura and Putz. He also took 10th at Footlocker nationals. We could possibly see 3 Heartland guys (Putz, Mechura, Gonzalez) in the top 10 just like in 2022 (Breker, Heidesch, Birnbaum)

nxn 2023. -

South region - 3rd, 13th

California region - 8th, 10th, 17th

Midwest region - 7th, 15th

Northwest region - 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th

What exactly did NW/MW do at nxn in 2023 that made them automatically better than the South or California region?

Compared to how good he is at cross his track performances are not as good(still very good). Comparing triple wins at state to 5th at NXN after falling. They are not in the same league.

As a person from heartland I sincerely hope we can see that. If Mechura can have a crazy summer there is an outside chance for 1-2 with him and Putz.

re: A_K

Out of all the guys from California, who are all the individuals who have even a slim shot at the individual title?

re: matt_c

My guess is someone from NorCal like broen Holman, I see no runner from socal doing well unless they really put emphasis on running in dire conditions pre-nxn.

Only Evan Noonan could actually win the race.

Eli Fitchen-Young? He finished the highest at out of all of the returning individuals from CA at NXN last year. And he’s been PRing this track season.

Like someone mentioned, Broen Holman. There was a runnersworld article about him back in the day.

And how about Landon Pretre? He was injured at the end of last fall, and ran an 8:48 at Arcadia.

13-Year-Old Drops 15:23 5K for New Single Age Record

The teen is only in eighth grade and can run consistent sub-5:00 miles.

Probably will get injured again. I would recommend mixing his training with some cross training so that he runs less mileage but stays fit

Keeping the Young dynasty (set by Nico/Lex/Leo) going I see, nice. 😀 And yes, I do know that Eli isn’t related to them.
