Brookline dominated MA...
Ridgefield dominated New Englands, and Westfield dominated everyone not named Christian Brothers Academy at NJ MOC. It's not unreasonable to think that Brookline doesn't auto qualify.
Why are westfields season bests so much slower than brookline. Why are they ahead in the rankings???
Courses are different man… look at bowdoin classic results
Probably because Westfield had better Speed ratings at the recent meets?

Mass is a joke, not very impressive.
Any thoughts on how the Union Catholic boys team will do?
They have Wischusen back and they have beaten Westfield this season
Here is my prediction for NXR Northeast:
1. Christian Brothers Academy, NJ - I think they take care of business and win comfortably as expected. The only question is if Joe Barrett remains undefeated.
2. Brookline, MA - This team has run well when needed to and they seem primed for this race. They utilize pack mentality and their top 5 could finish in any order.
3. Ridgefield, CT - They have come on strong in the past couple of meets and dominated the New England meet. Hergenrother will be up at the front and give the other runners some room for error.
4. Westfield, NJ - Most expect Westfield to take the second auto qualifying spot, so this is a bit of a hot take, but having to chase CBA all season will take it's toll on this team. You can only run hard so many times throughout the season before the wheels fall off.
A few dark horse teams who could make some noise if they run out of their minds:
1. Union Catholic, NJ
2. Danbury, CT
3. Newton South, MA
Bryon Grevious will run away with the Mens Race! He is going to be NXN Champion... come back to this post December 2nd!
NXR title? Yes.
NXN title? No. I think Daniel Simmons will take it
I agree with the first sentence. He will be in the lead group at NXN. He is as good a racer as anyone else in the nation. Solid team, also, who can make some noise tomorrow.
