To start off this detailed historical comparison of the NXN Regions, I’ll start with how the regional courses compare – statistically – to one another through the only common denominator: how the athletes did at NXN Nationals compared to how they did at NXN Regionals. I made a post last week (NXN-MW vs. MW State meets) describing the same exact process I use to do this for the NXN Regionals every year (note that whole years that appear to be outliers are not included, re: MW in 2011, SO in 2009, and NE in 2007). These are the results of that process –
Average course rating – Course – Average Top 2 score at NXN during the regional era (2007+)
883.86 – California State @ Woodward – 248.4 for boys, 240.0 for girls
936.65 –New York @ Bowdoin – 288.3 for boys, 103.2 for girls
936.65 – Northeast @ Bowdoin – 264.4 for boys, 373.3 for girls
880.43 – Southeast @ WakeMed – 421.9 for boys, 272.1 for girls
888.23 – Southwest @ Toka Sticks – 224.0 for boys, 251.4 for girls
900.74 – South @ Bear Branch – 252.2 for boys, 401.4 for girls
902.31 – Midwest @ LaVern Gibson – 224.6 for boys, 297.3 for girls
901.74 – Heartland @ Yankton Trails – 329.3 for boys, 363.2 for girls
917.49 – Northwest @ Eagle Island – 251.8 for boys, 338.1 for girls
Also perhaps relevant is looking at the average scores for the regions after taking out statistical outliers (teams that have, to this point, proven to be substantially better or worse than the average top two teams for that region):
California: 265.78 for boys, 240.0 for girls
New York: 315.75 for boys, 103.20 for girls
Northeast: 264.40 for boys, 373.30 for girls
Southeast: 421.90 for boys, 253.22 for girls
Southwest: 200.56 for boys, 251.40 for girls
South: 232.44 for boys, 401.40 for girls
Midwest: 224.60 for boys, 297.30 for girls
Heartland: 329.30 for boys, 363.20 for girls
Northwest: 251.80 for boys, 321.78 for girls
… I should take this time to remind folks that just because the average race at Course A is this much faster/slower than at Course B doesn’t mean that will always hold true; The Midwest course, for example, appeared to run slower-than-average at NXN-MW, while the Southwest course appeared to run the fastest it ever has. The tricky part is figuring out just how much faster/slower courses ran compared to their averages.
