Saw photographs of some of them with masks on. Bad timing. The Washington teams were just not as good this year. And it showed.

The others are easy enough to figure out. It's too bad teams don't just use something relating to their school so everyone doesn't have to guess :) but oh well, at this point that's just a part of the event. Some regionals include the individual athletes competing for the team in their start list, which would solve this issue as well.<br /><br />HKXC is in the championship race on both sides, so it must be a pretty good program overall. Maybe Sehome or Ballard or Central Kitsap? CK is the only one I can think of with a K involved, but of course there is no guarantee either H or K has anything to do with the school's name. Eagles Nest is probably some school with an Eagle as the mascot, but I don't know which school that would be although Issaquah is a good guess. Filthy crew could be anyone, but maybe that's the Mountain View ID boys? Just a guess though, since I don't see any of their athletes listed as individuals (and the meet is in their own back yard, so why wouldn't they compete?).<br /><br />Here's a list of the Boys teams in the above Top 25 that might not be included:<br /><br />Bellarmine Prep WA<br />Sehome WA (HKXC?)<br />Issaquah WA (Eagles Nest?)<br />Mountain View ID (Filthy Crew?)<br />Interlake WA<br />Central Kitsap WA (HKXC?)<br />Ballard WA (HKXC?)<br />University WA<br />Lake Stevens WA<br /><br />That means at least 16 of the top 25 are in the field, plus two bubble teams (Wilson OR and Star Valley WY), with potentially three more Top 25 teams being the ones we aren't sure of. That's pretty good participation, even if the field misses Bellarmine and Sehome.watchouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838975063853852963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675840884075304933.post-37281528719055080742015-11-12T20:27:00.770-08:002015-11-12T20:27:00.770-08:00The start list is posted at the NXN NW website.

I don't think Bellarmine Prep is running as Yearian is an individual entrant. There is no Sehome or Mountain View (ID) that I recognize. Maybe Issaquah is Eagle's Nest? The varsity team entrants are even worse. The Little Engines that Could? Cool Runnings? I wish the schools could just use their real names. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
