SW should get two spots before Franklin. Valor crushed Franklin at Nike Portland XC. Niwot crushed Valor at St. Vrain Invite, Colorado Powermerge and NXR SW.
Franklin had a boy that was sick there and another that lost his shoe in the first 800m that didn’t pull out of the race when he should have. Besides, it’s clear those teams are moving in opposite directions at the moment.

I dont get y Franklin is ranked so high. Vestavia SE 3rd has better times than them and Vestavia is getting faster every race.

Rowan Horner ran 34 seconds behind Franklin’s #2 at Danner, Leaf McQuillen ran 45 seconds, Emil Nelson ran 56 seconds, Rowan Haywood-O’Neill ran 1:15.
Emil Nelson was 5 seconds back at NXR, Leaf McQuillen was 10 seconds, Rowan Haywood-O’Neill was 29 seconds, Rowan Horner was 54 seconds.
Franklin was much, much better at NXR.20 -

Franklin is getting faster every race, too. Look at speed ratings and spread between the top teams. Vestavia got crushed. Franklin actually looked like they somewhat held their own.
The Bob Firman/NXR course is known as a tricky course. They averaged 15:50 on it, 5 seconds behind the winner. Vestavia averaged 15:58 at WakeMed, 29 seconds behind the winner.
Vestavia has no argument, dude.

Lay off of the Vestavia hype dude. They finished 7th at Jesse Owens and then way off the win at NXR Southeast. They are so far down the pecking order on at large spots.

Yeah SE only deserves the 2 this year. I'm way more impressed with a couple of the individuals (though a few chose not to run at NXR) than i am from any of the teams outside of Belen Jesuit.

NP averaged 15:21. The next set of best teams were 15:47, 15:48, 15:48. The course was dry and fast. Looks like it could be wet again this year.
cba and Belen are absolutely in the mix still. If 15:21 at nxn is a 15:50 at bowdoin, cba averaged a 16:07 in September at bowdoin which puts them right around that 15:35 or so based on that.
15:35 at nxn would be crazy fast as you said, but depends on the conditions and the day. Most teams don’t have their best day. I still think comparing teams to what NP did is a mistake…
Good thing nxn is right around the corner to sort this all out
And Belen raced NXR 2 days after the state meet, and some of their guys were sick according to an interview

They improved a lot from Jesse Owens and beat all of the teams they lost to but aight.

DGN runs 15:36 avg for 5k at their local turkey trot without their top guy from state, do any other teams run a hard effort like this 10 days out?

I’m guessing teams in New York, the Northeast, and California do.

Wayzata MN used to do that every year.
Hopkins did it back in 2015 when they qualified for NXN. They took 7th there

And Hinsdale ran the same Downers Grove turkey trot hard last year before finishing 8th. Not to mention the California teams that run state, NY/NE regionals or anyone else in the midwest who runs Footlocker. Not that uncommon or strange, and, in fact, a pretty good idea to stay sharp.

Belen Jesuit destroys field with 3 sick runners at nxr southeast. Hopefully everyone can come back healthy for nxn.

Southeast could arguably have the first or second hardest course though so it makes their speed ratings slower.
LOL.

Agree, Southwest could have four teams in the top 10 at NXN. Niwot boys placed 4th and they are the second fastest team in Colorado history based on state meet results. They should absolutely get 4 bids.
I'm worried they will look at Niwot's age and justify not bringing them this year assuming they will make it next year.
This makes me wish that Orem had a 5th runner close to their 4th. If they had one, Orem would have taken 4th place at NXR. Most of Orem’s team is seniors

It's a pretty tough course for a road race too fwiw. Hilly and a lot of sharp turns. 2nd place is a 1:49 guy @Colorado State

The second autoqualifier from NXR Southeast won’t finish very high at NXN this year
