"Ryan McGinn"... nice attention to detail.
Prediction for NXN boys individual qualifiers
Nolan McGinn
Douglas Antaky
Shane Murphy
Ethan Green
Jake Gogarty
Dark-horse preduction: Thomas from Niskayuna qualifies.
Bobby Mayclim and Will Tempest are others to watch out for
Fairport and Saratoga boys JV teams took 3rd and 4th in the open race

Actually, it ended up being the other way around. Still, both teams have some nice depth.
Girls Open race-
2 freshmen going 1&2.
Lexie Cole - 19:30
Heidi Berglund (Saratoga) - 19:54. She was their #6 runner last year. But she has time to get back in their top 7 next year as Saratoga tries to return to NXN in the post-Bush/Belisle/Hart era.
Smart money says Saratoga Springs & Monroe Woodbury, and there isn't any particularly strong argument against that.
But just for the sake of some gratuitous last minute controversy 😏...
MW ran solid, 'above expectations' races on hard courses the past two weeks in a row and could be a little leg weary and vulnerable.
And Fairport, on fresh legs, and with a well targeted "season peak" race, could step up and ruin somebody's day.
Probably not...but maybe.
looks like Fairports number one isn’t even in the race. Wow
Looks like MW and Auburn got it
First time in Portland for both
I think this race proved the importance of Feds. Look at how well teams that attended Feds did versus those that didn’t. The 2 teams that qualified, as well as 4 of the top 5 individuals were all at Feds last week.
Nolan McGinn ran a 15:58 and no one was close. According to the interview he wasn’t all that happy with his time but it’s ok. At least he won and broke 16.
NXN is where he will want to peak
Auburn’s 5th runner ran well when it mattered and really helped the team come through after struggling for most of the season
Shane Golio from MW took third. Wow. He really stepped up to help the team grab the win

If he won they wouldn’t have made it. They have a nice sophomore class though
