NXN 2023 Way too early preview: Dawn of a new Era

Another thing is that, many people may think that lone peak is #3 in the SW, but although they are good through 4, their #5 is far back. Niwot is deep through 9.

Talking about the boys teams here

Looks like Massachusetts's Brookline averaged 9:30 for the hoka postal 2 mile challenge beating out dana hill's which averaged 9:31. I thought they were pretty overrated originally but speed ratings might be telling the truth

Prediction Meter: Four California Teams With NXN Potential

Girls:
JSerra and Ventura
Honorable mentions: Buchanan, Santiago (Corona)

Boys:
Great Oak and Dana Hills
Honorable mentions: Ventura, San Clemente

No Oakdale for boys teams even in honorable mention…
Straight up disrespect

I like how they have Ventura girls ahead of Buchanan (no sarcasm is implied)

Izban Felix breaks 14 minutes - 13:56 3 mile. He improved from his woodbridge 3 mile - 14:17.

Izban Felix > Dylan Nalley (has yet to break 14:00 on short 3 miler in Illinois)

Beckman has improved quite a bit from woodbridge - 13:56, 14:34, 14:50, 14:51, 14:51, 14:53

really underrated team these 3 mile times are good. They probably won’t make nxn because California is stacked. I hope they go to and peak for running lane. It will be interesting to see them stacked up against top northwest and southwest teams that couldn’t make it to nxn

Dana Hills wins South Coast League title over San Clemente 21-34. El Toro in 3rd with 94 pts. Dana Hills runs a full squad for the first time this year. Dana Hills is turning it on just in time for post season like they are known for.

Farragut is improving. Like Dana Hills this team always seems to pick it up at the end of the season. Expect big things from them come nxn.

We will see just how good this Dana Hills team is at the State Meet (woodward park course) and where they rank on the all-time list for California teams. I think it's a possibility that they could be up there with American Fork and Herriman contending for a title. (I know it's a little early to say that, we will have to wait until the state meet). But these 3 mile times are ridiculously fast. The 2 low sticks will help big time at NXN, similar to how it helped Herriman last year.

For reference the times ran on this course was as follows for previous years -

Dana Hills 2015 - 3rd at NXN - 14:43, 14:45, 14:47, 15:01, 15:11

Dana Hills 2016 - 14th at NXN - 14:32, 14:49, 14:50, 15:19, 15:27

Dana Hills 2019 - 8th at NXN - 14:17, 14:23, 14:41, 14:43, 14:52

San Clemente 2022 - 7th at NXN - 14:30, 14:37, 14:39, 14:45, 14:55

2023 teams -

Dana Hills 2023 - 13:39, 13:55, 14:25, 14:29, 14:38

San Clemente 2023 - 14:19, 14:26, 14:33, 14:44, 14:45

Yeah. I think at this point, Farragut is the clear #2 team behind Belen Jesuit Prep in the Southeast.

Unless McCallie and / or Calvert Hall can put it all together at NXR. But these 2 teams have been inconsistent all season and it always seems to be “some guys missing” for them.

Belen Jesuit Prep swept 1-8 in this race.

Socarras, one of their top guys who has been gone so much this season, is back and made their 7th spot

FHSAA 3A District 8 2023 - Boys 5k Run CC (Raw)

MileSplits official Boys 5k Run CC raw results for the 2023 FHSAA 3A District 8, hosted by Belen Jesuit Preparatory School in Miami FL.

Link:fl.milesplit.com/meets/565489-fhsaa-3a...

the whole belen squad got out-kicked by their freshman. Ouch.

Last year at NXN that guy led the Belen team as an 8th grader

This year’s Farragut 5th man (which many people see as a concern based on how far behind their 4th he is) was only 1 second slower than last year‘s 5th man at the state meet.

Every California runner that broke 14:00 minutes in the 3 mile this season. This is the equivalent to breaking 14:30 in the 5k

Evan Noonan - 13:39, 13:41, 13:59
Anthony Fast Horse - 13:48
Emmanuel Perez - 13:50
Jayden Hernandez - 13:55
Ibzan Felix - 13:56
Joshua Bell - 13:59

Every out of State runner that broke 14:30 in the 5k or 14:00 in the 3 mile

Drew Griffith 14:20

Jojo Jourdon 13:57

Berkley nance 13:58

How many more will break 14:30 for 5k at runninglane? Will any break 14:00 3 mile at the Detweiller Park, Illinois state meet?
