For wild card bids do they just look at this race or the whole season

They also look at strength of the region. Don’t think Saratoga boys team gets an at large

But next year looks good for Saratoga. They return 3 scorers, and one of them has a freshman brother who did well in the open race

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.I wouldn’t be surprised to see her on the line at NXN next weekend. She was a 120+ performer in 2022 but had a rough start to this season. She seems to be coming back now. That, plus her prior experience on the course and her ability to run well there may give her the nod over her fellow freshman teammate.

I don't think they're looking too hard at anything from NY for an 'At Large' bid this year.
Maybe Ridgefield out of the NE race, but their 4 & 5 were a little soft.

Saratoga's boys have been disappointing. They're not really in contention for an NXN bid.
I love how people were saying how disappointing Saratoga boys were when they raced bad in the middle of the season. This proves that you can never judge a team in October, some teams actually know how to peak at the right time.
I love how people spike the ball before actually reaching the end zone.

Auburn’s 5th runner ran well when it mattered and really helped the team come through after struggling for most of the season
Keegan Brady, welcome to the 2023 XC Season. 😊

Looks like MW and Auburn got it
First time in Portland for both
The season was a total battle of attrition for NY boys.
Only one of the top 8 speed-rated boys made Nationals as an individual.
Teamwise...
Ithaca peaked way early, and had injury issues.
Fairport imploded.
St Anthony's vaporized.
Saratoga peaked at States and couldn't hold it.
M-W and Auburn essentially did what they've been doing, and are the last teams standing. Congrats to them.

Matt Windecker from Burnt Hills was a surprise qualifier. They have had good teams in the past. Great to see an individual represent this team at NXN this year

He came up big yesterday.
Both he and Thomas are going to Nationals as individuals despite not winning their Sectional races.

I run for Ithaca, not sure what these injury issues are that you're referencing. We've had lots of sickness like everyone, and one guy take a tumble and drop out mid-race, but on the guys side we've had no injuries. I'd also personally say that we didn't necessarily peak at the wrong time, we just lost enthusiasm and morale as the season went on.

Where do you think McGinn and Bush will place at NXN?

Bush top-10. McGinn, just outside the top-20.

Any thoughts on North Rockland? Can they make NXN next year?

Just found out that Auburn only has 15 boys (not including those on the Modified team) on the roster.
Pretty solid that they made NXN with a team this size. Although FM used to have NXN-qualifying teams with that roster size or smaller

They had a pretty disappointing championship season, likely with sickness or other factors impeding them. They return literally everyone however, led by two absolute beasts of sophomores (#2 and #3 returners in the 3 mile) that have two track seasons to become even more impressive. North Rockland will certainly be a team to watch over the next couple years.
