I changed the Historical Quality measure from average NXN National fields to average WA Top-22 fields, and factored in program history as well. It didn't change much, but was just enough for little changes here and there (such as Kamiakin boys, Glacier Peak girls and Tahoma girls moving up a spot or two).watchouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838975063853852963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675840884075304933.post-83312752012761224772015-07-30T19:55:49.192-07:002015-07-30T19:55:49.192-07:00I know, ridiculous right?

That's the huge advantage some states, such as New York, have over the rest of the country - a more organized and successful middle school program to get kids started earlier, and unfortunately our state is one where that is not at all balanced across the state (while lots of areas do have some semblance of an XC program at the middle school level, there are plenty of others that don't).<br /><br />Yes, freshmen are placed based on what little middle school/youth track results I can find. Almost always, that is 1600m marks on Athletic.net or USATF results for 1500m or 3k. There are a whole lot of other incoming freshmen that that certainly doesn't cover, though, so don't be surprised if there are several other freshmen that make an impact than those I will mention in these previews.<br /><br />Camas could be very good, particularly if Marley LeFore returns to XC after a year of playing soccer... though that's probably a long shot at this point.watchouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838975063853852963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675840884075304933.post-3115150243172083122015-07-30T19:28:24.196-07:002015-07-30T19:28:24.196-07:00Are you kidding?
