With Newbury Park out. Looking at every teams young runners and incoming talent, what teams are likely to me the next great thing (Not just for next year).
Teams looking good right now: American Fork, Harriman, Belen Jesuit, Crater, Carrol, and Wayzata
IT’S NEWBURY PARK MANIA!
American Fork will win NXN next year but it will be the first ever and possibly the last NXN win for a while. Lots of juniors on varsity
2024 will probably be Niwot’s year though. They have a good freshman class as well
Jesuit LA has a good freshman/sophomore/junior classes but Runninglane shows that they can’t perform well at a national stage yet
Also you can’t leave out teams like CBA and Southlake Carroll. Those teams didn’t do well at nxn but some of those guys were sick. They always reload
Also don’t count out Stevens Point (Chris Solinsky’s alma mater). They had 2 sophs and a freshman scoring. They got a solid 8th and 9th grade class as well.
Herriman has a good freshman class coming in next year according to Doug Soles’ interview
CBA makes nxn each year….but they always seem to go out hard at nxn (like the Youngs) then they fade. Not just this year but the previous years too

They have 3 very good freshmen on the team. Aaron Cantu has an 8th grade brother who ran a 4:39 1600 last spring. Not sure if he will be going to NP or not. 2025 might be the year when Newbury Park is back

Also Niwot and CBA
Herriman obviously has the next dynasty going on, as they will make NXN for at least the next 2-3 years, and this year at least, have a legit shot at winning.

I wonder if and when the Herriman girls team will ever make NXN, or even win it.
The numbers in the girls program are not as big as the boys program
Given that they're a public school and don't train at altitude, what North Allegheny (PA) has done, especially on the girl's side, is crazy.
